Nazi chocolate bombs plot

By TOM NEWTON DUNN

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.

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.


A note in the National Archives in London reads: “The bomb is made of steel with a thin covering of real chocolate.

“When the piece of chocolate at the end is broken off, the canvas shown is pulled, and after a delay of seven seconds, a bomb explodes.”

A drawing of sausage, mash and peas demonstrates how explosives and timer would have been concealed in a workman’s lunch-box under a false bottom.

And photos include a diagram showing how a tin of peas could be turned into a grenade.

An informer also told MI5 at the time that the team plotted to blow up Buckingham Palace.

Professor Christopher Andrew, who is writing a history of MI5, said: “The cunning German plan was to take over explosive tins of peas to Dublin and ask around the bars for IRA people.

“They were to take the peas to Buckingham Palace where they were supposed to disturb dinner.”

MI5 wrote in 1940: “This seems a little fantastic, when it is known the explosives were of the most primitive kind.”

Prof Andrew said: “German espionage and sabotage of the UK achieved the coveted title of 100 per cent incompetence.”
 
White chocolate is weak on terrorism.

But the good thing is it brought Silent back for a short while. So I raise a glass of creme de menthe to that fact )devil juice(
