The 12-Year-Old Boy Who Destroyed Nazi Trains Using Only an Eyeglass Lens and the Sun

In the frozen hell of Nazi-occupied Poland, a twelve-year-old boy waged a secret war against the Third Reich using nothing but his grandmother's broken reading glasses and the power of the sun. While German forces hunted for resistance fighters with guns and explosives, they never suspected that their most effective saboteur was a malnourished child who had turned physics into a weapon of mass destruction. This is the incredible true story of Józef, the boy who destroyed over a dozen Nazi supply trains, disrupted critical fuel shipments to the Eastern Front, and forced the Wehrmacht to divert massive resources to hunt a ghost they would never catch.

Between 1942 and 1943, a series of unexplained fires devastated German railway operations in occupied Poland. Wehrmacht engineers found no explosive residue, no timing devices, nothing that matched known sabotage techniques. The attacks only occurred on clear, sunny days and seemed to originate from impossible distances. For eighty years, this mystery remained buried in classified archives until a German historian discovered the truth: a thirteen-year-old resistance fighter had been focusing sunlight through a single lens to ignite fuel tankers from hundreds of meters away. Discover how one child's determination changed the course of battles he would never see, and why his story was almost lost to history forever.
