Weird War Two

Welcome to Weird War Two, a catalogue of the weird, the wonderful and the downright eccentric, from deep within IWM's Second World War archives. From wacky inventions to elusive secret agents, from bizarre propaganda posters to the dummy acting as a decoy for a daring escape, from inflatable tanks to painted cows, this is proof that, as ever, the truth is stranger than fiction. * Warrior beetles* Paradogs* Pigeon bras* Exploding camel droppings* Lethal pencils* Messenger bees* Flying sharks* Siren suits
