September 1940. Britain had 6 weeks of ammunition left. No explosives. No hope. Then a soap factory chemist had an insane idea: weaponize glycerin waste into nitroglycerin.
This is the incredible true story of how William Fletcher and hundreds of soap factory workers turned bath soap into bombs, literally saving Britain from defeat. 12 tons of explosives per week. 3 million artillery shells by D-Day. 29 workers died making it happen.
The Germans never knew they were being destroyed by weaponized soap.

• How glycerin from Lever Brothers soap became high explosives
• The terrifying 20-minute shift system that prevented disasters
• Why Fletcher's "impure" explosives worked BETTER than pure ones
• The Birmingham factory explosion that killed 17 in seconds
• How this soap saved 500,000 lives at D-Day
• Why nitroglycerin is now used as heart medicine
