Do fabulous hoards of looted treasure lie in Austrian lakes or Philippine jungles? How close were the Germans to an atomic weapon, and did Martin Bormann really escape Germany in April 1945?—and revisits high‑profile mysteries such as the disappearances of Amelia Earhart and the death of actor Leslie Howard. Presented as a popular, non‑technical survey, the book treats wartime legends and oddities as a miscellanea of short, self‑contained episodes that invite readers to weigh evidence, controversy and enduring conjecture against the wider historical backdrop of World War II.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePublished by Smithmark (New York, 1991) and originally a Quintet title, this large‑format (31 cm) illustrated hardcover runs 96 pages and includes an index; it is designed as a coffee‑table style illustrated reference with heavy photographic content (black‑and‑white and some color), short thematic sections and bibliographic details (ISBN 9780831790547, classification example 940.53).
