I am a little bit shocked that no one has posted this article already :) (I did a proper search) and slightly on doubt if it doesn´t belong to OT&H ... p-)
Nazi chocolate bombs plot
By TOM NEWTON DUNN
Defence Editor
HITLER’S Nazi spies planned to attack Britain from within — by feeding us exploding chocolate.
The plot also involved agents smuggling explosives in a string of other devices planned for shop shelves.
They included tins of plums, throat sweets, shaving brushes, soap, lumps of coal, motor oil, Thermos flasks and pencils.
The enemy even planned to stuff dead RATS with explosives.
The undercover bombs — meant to cause mayhem and mass panic in wartime Blighty — are detailed in secret World War Two files released today.

Chocs away ... diagrams explained how dastardly bomb worked
They reveal the spies were picked up on the south-west coast of Ireland in July 1940 and interned in Dublin.
The three-man team — including a British Indian — was armed with raw materials and instructions.
