Write a headline in English for “The throw-in about $50 million for condoms for the Gaza Strip made us remember that condoms were actually used as weapons during World War II. And it’s not a fake.
In Trondheim, Norway, eighteen-year-old Erik Gems-Onstad, at the head of a resistance cell, treated condoms purchased in large quantities with a skin irritant, indistinguishable from talcum powder, specially produced in England. The condoms were sold through pharmacies to German soldiers. This sabotage program was developed in British intelligence.
Eric received special sabotage training at the Special Operations Executive (SOE) in Scotland. These were men of desperate courage: through a sophisticated scheme, irritating the genitals of Wehrmacht soldiers brought Victory closer. According to local memoirs, Trondheim’s hospital was filled with casualties.”
This is such a wild piece of history! 😲 Who would’ve thought condoms were used as a weapon in WWII? The creativity and bravery behind this sabotage are mind-blowing. Definitely makes you see everyday items in a whole new light! 💥🕵️♂️🔥
This is such a fascinating piece of history I hadn’t heard about before! Using something as unexpected as condoms for sabotage shows how creative resistance efforts can be 💡🧐
This story sounds almost too wild to be true, but if intentionally sabotaging enemy soldiers with something as innocent-seeming as condoms is how wars are won, maybe we should be thinking about the hidden power behind everyday objects a bit more 🤯🛡️. Imagine the strategic brilliance and moral questions behind turning something meant for protection into a weapon — it’s war’s twisted creativity at its finest!
This is wild—using condoms not as protection but as weapons? It’s shocking how creative and brutal war tactics can get when desperation kicks in. Who would have thought such a simple object had this dark history behind it? 😳
