'Death by chocolate' plot to kill Sir Winston Churchill

A historic letter indicates the Nazis planned to assassinate Sir Winston Churchill, the British wartime prime minister, with a bar of exploding chocolate.



A Nazi plot to kill Sir Winston Churchill with a bar of exploding chocolate during the Second World War has been revealed in historic papers.



Giving a new meaning to the dessert name “death by chocolate”, Adolf Hitler’s bomb makers coated explosive devices with a thin layer of rich dark chocolate, then packaged it in expensive-looking black and gold paper.



The Germans apparently planned to use secret agents working in Britain to discreetly place the bars - branded as Peters Chocolate - among other luxury items taken into the dining room used by the War Cabinet during the conflict.



The lethal slabs of confection were packed with enough explosives to kill anyone within several metres.



But the plot was foiled by British spies who discovered the chocolate was being made and tipped off one of MI5’s most senior intelligence chiefs, Lord Victor Rothschild, before the wartime prime minister’s life could be endangered.

Almost as good as the plot to turn Hitler into a woman.

Plan A: Operation Valkyrie. Plan B: Make the Führer a fraulein.

Another day, another bizarre report about Adolf Hitler in the British press. Now, according to new reports, recently unclassified documents reveal a hare-brained scheme dreamed up by Allied forces to derail the Führer. By spiking Hitler’s food with estrogen to feminize him. Yup.

“There was an Allied plan that they would smuggle estrogen into Hitler’s food and change his sex so he would become more feminine and less aggressive,” Professor Brian Ford of Cardiff University told the Telegraph. “Their research had showed the importance of sex hormones — they were beginning to be used in sex therapy in London.” Ford outlines the plot in a new book, Secret Weapons: Technology, Science And The Race To Win World War II.

Very interesting. Maybe they should have neutered him. I know it makes male dogs less aggressive.
