But there were others who have been forgotten - a colourful collection of inventors and boffins who were drafted in to design and build an all-new mechanised armoury: machines that could breathe fire, tanks that could swim, and a huge array of other ingenious gadgets and devices that would penetrate the weak spots in Hitler's impressive defences.
