It’s an unfortunate truth that war breeds innovation. WWII was the source of many technologies and scientific advances that form part of our everyday lives - from microwave ovens, computers and quantum physics to blood transfusions, skin grafts and penicillin - it would be difficult to imagine a world without such technology.
