Just found this on the Scotsman's website; I've never heard of this before!

Well, the Reidar files are listed in the PRO March releases, but their summary doesn’t mention the bacteria?
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/r...h/subjects.htm
Then again, there are four files so it’s probably in there somewhere?

By the newspaper report you can tell the German’s didn’t have much idea on how to make it work. I mean it states; ”one method for spreading bacterial culture was to hide it inside pens and pencils”. Then what – the sheep eat them?
