"My Tank is Fight! is a humorous look at more than 20 unusual or insane inventions of the Second World War. Each chapter features a detailed examination of the real history and technology behind each invention. All 19 chapters are linked by a fictional narrative that explores what might have happened had the inventions been put to use during the War. The book is also lavishly illustrated, with 18 full-color illustrations and more than two dozen detailed black and white illustrations. My Tank is Fight! is not a dry analysis of the forgotten weapons of war, it brings those weapons to life. A SomethingAwful.com Book From the Back Cover Soldiers that fly! Tanks that fly! Cruisers that . . . sink! WHAT FIGHT HAVE BEEN My Tank Is Fight! contains a humorous and exciting examination of twenty real inventions from World War II that never saw the light of day. Each entry includes full technical details, a complete development history, in-depth analysis, and a riveting fictionalized account of the invention’s success or failure on the battlefield. Lavish color artwork and technical illustrations are falling from the pages of this book like toenails from a trench foot. Dive under the Atlantic in the turreted U-Cruiser, or rule its surface from an aircraft carrier made out of ice. Shred bomber formations in a high-performance flying wing fighter and then rocket to your untimely end from the cockpit of your very own suicide missile. We’ve got a pair of German armored land vehicles for you that are so large they had to be powered by naval engines! My Tank Is Fight! delivers the thrilling action of the Second World War as it might have been with a touch of humor and a lack of class. Only the slow-witted are reading this anywhere other than inine at the cash register. Ask an adult to help you if you’re still not sure you want to buy the book. "

""My Tank is Fight" is an upcoming book from Something Awful and Kensington Publishing. Zack Parsons is adapting and expanding his series of articles that look at the most bizarre inventions of the Second World War with a generous portion of humor. Detailed black and white illustrations by artist Mike Doscher and lush color artwork from Josh Hass will bring these ridiculous inventions to life. Many of these strange inventions have never been professionally illustrated before! * The P. 1000 "Ratte" - A German super tank so large that it used a cruiser turret with two huge naval cannons. * The Seeteufel Submarine - A midget submarine with tank treads that could drive on land or along the bottom of rivers. * The Nazi Space Program - A multi-stage rocket booster, reusable spacecraft, and plans for an orbiting space station. * The Project C - A huge flying aircraft carrier laden with a half-dozen jet-powered German suicide bombs. * The Christie Flying Tank - American efforts to combine a tank with an airplane. * The P. 1500 "Monster" - The biggest cannon ever made stuck to the biggest tank ever made. What could go wrong?! * Plus an orbital bomber, a nuclear weapon aimed at New York City, a submersible cruiser, a super aircraft carrier made out of ice, early infrared scopes, anti-ship missiles, and many more inventions! Over 20 inventions each thoroughly researched, lavishly illustrated, and approached with the wit and humor that made the original Something Awful articles so popular."
