The Insane Allied Plot to Turn Hitler Into a Woman

Hitler had food tasters whose only job was to die before he did. The OSS still found a way around them. The weapon they chose wasn't a bullet or a bomb — it was estrogen, tasteless and slow-acting, designed to accumulate in his body over months and quietly drain the man inside the uniform. The delivery method was a bribed gardener and the carrots in Hitler's personal vegetable patch. The plan was assessed as entirely feasible. What happened next has almost nothing to do with security and almost everything to do with one man's pocket.
