The V-2 Rocket
It is devoted to one of the most awesome weapons of WWII - the V-2 rocket. The V-2 or Aggregat 4, was the first long range ballistic missile to be actively used in combat. This huge German rocket hurtled a one-ton torpedo 50 miles high and hundreds of miles down range to its target.

What effect did war have on industry?
War did, and continues to have, a large effect on industry in both nations involved. To fight a war, the military needs guns, bullets, tanks, planes, computers, uniforms, you name it. Obviously, the government doesn't constantly purchase wartime supplies of these goods from manufacturerers. So when the demand increases during war, production of these good exceeds the level of peacetime production. As a result, industry booms. However, war can have a negative impact on industry if the war is being fought near the center of industrial production or if the supply lines for raw materials is interupted by the fighting. For example, a factory may be producing record numbers of bullets for the war effort, but if the rail lines that bring the gunpowder and lead to the factory are destroyed by the fighting, the factory will not be able to operate.

Has Malaysia had any major wars?
Historically the answer has to be yes but the scope differs. Malaysia was involved indirectly in World War 2 when the she got invaded by the Japanese and those were tough times for Malaysians of that generation. However technically the answer has to be no. This is because Malaysia was officially independent on 1957 and formed in 1963. There was no such country as "Malaysia" in the 1940s. Recent times there have been disputes with neighbouring countries such as Indonesia and Philippines over territorial rights especially with reference to ownership of surrounding islands. A few months back there was another dispute over ownership of an island with Singapore. This was won by Singapore. Malaysia has also been involved in sending peacekeepers to Africa,Bosnia and Iraq. Overall Malaysia is a peaceful country. The nearest equivalent to be involved in a armed conflict was the counter-insurgency of Communists from 1948~1986, and the brief "Confrontation" with Indonesia in the mid 1960s, right after the formation of Malaysia.

Are Anderson shelters underground?
Not exactly. Anderson shelters were intended to be semi submerged in back gardens.

The excavated soil was then placed on top of the shelter to give it extra protection. The main problem, because it was partially underground, was flooding.
