The Nurse Nun Who "Forgot" to Sterilize Scalpels to Cause Widespread Infection

Описание: During World War Two, a quiet nun working in a hospital under Nazi occupation committed one of the most chilling acts of invisible warfare ever recorded. Sister Marie André didn't fire a weapon or plant explosives—instead, she transformed surgical instruments into biological weapons, deliberately contaminating scalpels and bone saws to cause deadly infections in German soldiers. For two years, she waged a secret campaign of medical sabotage that disabled dozens of enemy troops while hiding behind the trust placed in her religious habit and nursing expertise. This is the story of how one woman turned healing into killing, and why her name was erased from history.

In occupied Belgium during 1943-1944, hospitals existed in a moral twilight zone where nuns and doctors were forced to save the lives of the soldiers brutalizing their country. While medical neutrality demanded equal care for all patients, Sister Marie André made a different calculation: every healed German soldier was another killer returned to the battlefield. Working alone in the sterilization room each morning, she developed techniques to contaminate instruments in ways that appeared accidental but were devastatingly effective. Her invisible war reached its climax when she sabotaged surgery on a high-ranking SS officer—a decision that would cost her everything.
