The Nazi chocolate hand grenade. Hard to believe, but what didn't the Nazis try? "Vee shall keel dem vit shocolate!" The weapons, such as the chocolate hand-grenade, designed to explode after the first row of chunks was broken off, were part of a campaign to undermine British resolve using sabotage and propaganda. The bomb-makers were nothing if not ingenious. As well as packing explosives into cans of Smedley's English Grown Plums, the Nazis disguised plastic explosive as Wagon-Lits soap, hid detonators in torch batteries, and made exploding crucifixes, an incendiary Thermos flask and an exploding rat.
