The Fake Coal That Destroyed 1,000 German Trains

Описание: It looked like a harmless lump of anthracite. But inside the furnace of a Nazi locomotive, it was a silent assassin.
In the darkest days of 1940, Britain stood alone. With invasion imminent and the German war machine fueled by an unstoppable railway network, the SOE (Special Operations Executive) needed a miracle. They couldn't bomb every train, and they couldn't cut every track. So, they decided to turn the enemy's own fuel against them.
This is the true story of the "Coal Torpedo"—a weapon of "ungentlemanly warfare" developed at the top-secret Station IX. It was a device so deceptive that it passed through the hands of German guards unnoticed, only to unleash catastrophic destruction deep inside the boilers of steam locomotives.
From the laboratories of eccentric British scientists to the terrified stokers of the Reichsbahn, discover how a $5 piece of plastic explosive achieved what heavy bombers could not: paralyzed the logistics of an empire and left no trace behind.
