Every now and again WarCommons has certain publication series. you're already familiar with our series on propaganda and how it influenced the war and Hitler's road to power. Now we're adding a series on World War II myths. This Tuesday October 20, 2026, the first article on a World War II myth will be published.

Was the M4 Sherman Really a Deathtrap?

Detachment 101 only started winning when it stopped sending Americans into the jungle and began arming the people who lived there. Why do you think the OSS needed two years of failure to learn that?

Let's hear your thoughts. Catch up on the article here: https://warcommons.com/2026/10/17/oss-detachment-101-kachin-rangers-burma/

As I just mentioned in my previous reply, let's hear your thoughts on Operation Outward.

Operation Outward cost Britain almost nothing, yet it forced Germany to spend fighters, fuel, and fire watchers. Do you think cheap, low-tech harassment like this did more real damage than some of the war's big, expensive weapons, or is it easy to overrate what we can't measure?

Have you ever heard of an operation so secret that it wasn't discovered until 1977? And even then, the person who found information about it, dismissed it at being just another abandoned Allied WWII related site. It wasn't until 1981 that any human returned to the abandoned and forgotten site.

One of the war's strangest secret operations that played out in near-total silence.
October 24, 2026, a deep dive. Don't miss it!

@sherman Hope you enjoyed reading the article! It does show how resourceful they had to become, really thinking outside the box with that one.

I've been looking at more of these crazy things, next Tuesday we're publishing about another peculiar invention.

Like how unusual, and also very effective, this was as well: https://warcommons.com/2026/10/06/operation-outward-british-balloon-sabotage-germany/

One of those unrealistic ones cause that could have easile spread out. Just like the pigeon bombs and bat bombs, nice on paper but a bit unrealistic on reality

Britain prepared five million anthrax-infected cattle cakes, but Operation Vegetarian was never carried out. Do you think it was a genuinely realistic wartime weapon, or a plan that looked better on paper than it would have worked in the field?

October Publications

September was a month where most of my extra time went into the launch our android app. After release there were 6 more updates that I had to release. That meant that I had to stop reporting on the September publications. However, for October this thread returns!

We're starting October with an absolutely mind boggling topic: Operation Vegetarian. World War II saw some crazy operations that were planned and this is one of them.

Britain's Plan to Turn Germans Into Vegetarians

The Nuremberg Laws never explicitly ordered violence. They stripped Jews of the legal protections that stood in its way. Do you think that makes the people who enforced them, quietly, on paper, any less responsible than the ones who committed violence directly?
