SynopsisUnexplained Mysteries of World War II delves into the barely believable happenings that occurred during the war., The annals of World War II are mined with captivating cases of strange coincidences, ominous premonitions, and baffling mysteries. William Breuer's painstaking research has yielded over 100 fascinating historical accounts, including: Who really was behind the mysterious fire that destroyed the famed ocean liner Normandie?; Was the ominous "Deadly Double" ad in The New Yorker a coded leak announcing the upcoming bombing of Pearl Harbor?; and What saved the Duke of Windsor from Hitler's grasp, and the Allies from a crippling strategic setback?, Loss of life, destruction, unending pain and misery - the results of war never seem to make sense. War defies logic. Having searched through stacks of periodicals, military reports, interviews, and other publications, author William Breuer has come up with over one hundred such illogical events, and presents them in Unexplained Mysteries of World War II . From popular mysteries to barely believable happenings, Breuer sheds light on the absurdity of war from a different angle. The book is broken down into multiple sections, and delves into mysteries like: Who torched the Normandie in New York Harbor? Did a New Yorker ad warn of Pearl Harbor? Did Churchill have a "feeling" that saved his life? Ernest Hemingway lives to tell about switching seats. The night when an American and Japanese soldier accidentally shares a foxhole overnight. A U-boat gives a battleship a piggyback ride in the Atlantic.
