Bats is correct *ding ding ding*.
I won't bother to look up the details currently, but the plan was to strap a small incendiary device to the bats (since bats carry their young on their bellies anyway) and set a timer to go off some hours later. You then collect several hundred bats, make them cold and restful, strap them up, put the cages in a bomber, and go over your target. Upon release, the bats are supposed to wake up, fly off and find cozy homes for the night. In the morning great areas of the bomb site would be on fire.

The tests were less than successful (perhaps fortunately for bats everywhere). Most bats just left bat craters in the ground. Perhaps they weren't awake enough. The test was cancelled as it was near the end of the war, and the test was already under heat form various people. The test did prove that the method could work; one US building not intended to be part of the test burned down a day after the test.
A sniper assaults a Sherman tank (going in excess of 15 mph) for 20%. M4 Sherman tank is destroyed.
Is this like when a deer runs out in front of a car? Does the Sherman make some violent turn to avoid the lunatic, only to roll over or hit a tree?

Here's an interesting one: what was the last war in which troops wore chainmail? [:'(]

French troops wore chain mail in world war 1
They struggled with a ferocity that was to be expected of brave men fighting with forlorn hope against an enemy who had the advantage of position......knowing that courage was the one thing that would save them.
