==Behind the Mythos==
Despite being the last in the series, "Wunderwaffe" was in fact the first to be published; the first two stories were originally intended to be included in the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game supplement Punktown as flavour pieces, but unforeseen delays in the release of that book resulted in the unusual release schedule Chaosium blog post on the delayed release of Punktown.
