A Bomb Disguised as Coal (WWII Sabotage Weapon)
During World War II, the OSS developed one of the most ingenious sabotage weapons ever created: exploding coal. These devices looked identical to ordinary coal lumps but contained plastic explosives that would detonate when shoveled into enemy locomotive boilers, ship engines, or factory furnaces.
In this video, we explore how American intelligence operatives and resistance fighters used these "coal bombs" to disrupt Nazi supply lines and create psychological warfare behind enemy lines. From the brilliant mind of Stanley Lovell, recruited as the OSS's "Professor Moriarty," to OSS operative Elizabeth McIntosh's harrowing mission in China where exploding coal destroyed a Japanese troop train on a bridge, these are the real stories of WWII's most creative secret weapon.
Discover the engineering genius behind these perfect fakes, the brave operatives who deployed them, and why this simple weapon had such a devastating impact on enemy infrastructure and morale.
