EP 86: A History of Bioweapons: Rosen’s Rebels, WW1 & The Deadliest Sabotage Plots PT 4
Manage episode 514622002 series 3351435
This is episode 86 of The Truth TankPart 4 of A History of Bioweapons picks up where Part 3 left off, with World War I raging across Europe. In this episode, we meet Otto von Rosen and his covert team — “Rosen’s Rebels” — as they brave the frozen tundras of Finland to infiltrate Russian military bases and infect reindeer with deadly anthrax-laced sugar cubes.
We also explore the wider German sabotage network and examine other confirmed and alleged bioweapon operations during the Great War. Were these biological attacks effective, or a catastrophic waste of resources?
Finally, we trace the fate of these early bioweapons programs in the post-war years and consider the moral and medical paradoxes they raise — questions that would echo through history and into the rise of the Nazi regime.
Prepare for a chilling journey into the hidden history of biological warfare.
