June 1944. A small magnetic device, no bigger than a cigarette packet, is silently attached to a German fuel convoy rolling through occupied France. Hours later, the lorries erupt into flames—not from bombs or bullets, but from a 170-gram British invention that turned enemy fuel into a weapon against itself. This is the story of the SOE's Incendiary Saddle Charge: the ingenious thermite device designed at Station IX that could be deployed by anyone, fit in a pocket, and cause catastrophic fuel fires without a single explosion. Dropped to resistance fighters across occupied Europe, it created chaos in German supply lines during the most critical months of World War II.
Discover how British engineers weaponised basic chemistry, why German drivers lived in constant fear, and how a device costing seven shillings changed the mathematics of sabotage warfare.
