Happened to be watching a show on PBS a few minutes ago and at the end of it I saw a promo segment on a new 6 part series called Nazi Mega Weapons. I though some here would be interested. First episode, on the Atlantic Wall, is on tonight at 10:00pm. (I assume it is all PBS stations and not just mine.) A quick Google search turned up this info off the PBS website:
