'Weapon of Mass Destruction'.
1.7 million to 2 million Axis and Soviet casualties occured at Stalingrad, and it didn't end the War.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki totalled 200,000 casualties and ended the war.
No global conflict since.
Which is more of a 'weapon of mass destruction'?
The bullets and artillery shells of Stalingrad, or the nuclear weapons encumbent since?
The only real 'weapon of mass destruction' is the human being, not the hardware.
However some of the most aesthetically appealing and record achieving feats of mechanical engineering were designed for warfare, such as the Spitfire and in my view the Vulcan.
They can be appreciated for this without considering what they were designed for.
Just my opinion.
