Open Question: Animal uses in WWII (tank dogs, bat bomb, etc)? ? |
The US had a group of scientists working on a bomb that would use bats to carry small timed incendiary devices into attics and eaves. Though it was never used, tests showed that it would have been effective; starting hundreds of fires if not tens of thousands in Japanese cities.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bat_bombThe Soviets trained dogs to run under tanks and other vehicles, then strapped explosives on them and turned them loose on the German invadershttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-tank_dogAlso, the US had a pigeon-guided missile in research.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_PigeonAnyone know of any other similar projects? And yes, I know about the Navy using dolphins since WWII, but I’m trying to find out about offensive weapons systems.Thanks-E
