Annotation by Frank Hughes and Lloyd Wendt: German reliance on new tactics & early success. Missed on radar in Battle of Britain. Magnetron British. Even stopped submarines. German science never caught up. Atom bomb, proximity fuse, rockets, jets, etc. Big battalions given way to scientific specialists. American linking of science & mass industry may be key to whole future.
