Throughout history, warfare has driven some of mankind's most destructive, innovative, and bizarre inventions. In this Forgotten History compilation, we explore the weapons, machines, technology, and even drugs that transformed the battlefield. From the enormous and impractical Tsar Tank and Germany's armored war trains to the machine gun, flamethrower, land mines, jet aircraft, nuclear weapons, and today's autonomous drones, each development changed how wars were fought and how soldiers survived them. We also examine the human side of these weapons, including the terrifying experience of World War II ball turret gunners and Nazi Germany's widespread use of stimulants to keep soldiers awake and fighting for extraordinary periods of time.
