💣 From bat bombs to anti-tank dogs, glue-filled missiles to exploding rats — World War II wasn’t just fought with tanks and rifles… it was a laboratory of the WEIRDEST weapons ever conceived.

In this jaw-dropping look at wartime ingenuity (and desperation), we explore the most bizarre, experimental, and downright strange weapons developed by Allied and Axis powers — many of which never saw battle… and for good reason.

You’ll discover:
✅ Project X-Ray: The U.S. plan to drop incendiary bats on Japanese cities 🦇
✅ Soviet anti-tank dogs: Trained to run under enemy tanks with bombs strapped to their backs 🐕
✅ The Krummlauf: A bent-barrel attachment for the StG 44 that let Nazis shoot around corners 🔫
✅ Exploding rat carcasses: British sabotage devices meant to blow up German boilers 🐀
✅ The Panjandrum: A giant, rocket-powered explosive wheel that spun out of control during tests 🎡
✅ Nazi “sun gun”: A proposed orbital mirror to burn cities from space ☀️

Some were brilliant failures. Others were dangerous absurdities. All reveal the extreme lengths nations went to gain an edge in history’s deadliest conflict.
