Before the war guided rockets or rockets in general were unheard of.
The V2 allowed Germany to attack it's targets from a longer distance than artillery could.

First jet fighter in operation.
Was the fastest fighter at the time. Traveled at 541 m.p.h.
Was successful, but it was expensive too. Only 200 - 250 were made.

THe Atomic Bomb cont.
Constructed during the Manhattan Project at Los Almos, New Mexico
Manhattan Project wasn't in one place, but spread throughout the US.
First test "Trinity" was on July 16, 1945. It was a success. In a month the US would drop two atomic bombs on Japan, killing ~246, 000 people.

Penicillin
Penicillin is a group of antibiotics derived from Penicillium Fungi.
Saved thousands of lives in WW2, and millions since.

Later a group of Australian scientists discovered more uses for Penicillin.
