The forerunner of the CIA, the Office of Strategic Services once decided to bribe a gardener of a certain Head of State to inject oestrogen into his food in order to make something drop off, to make him more vulnerable. Who was it and what didn't fall off?

Adolf Hitler, and his moustache. From http://www.rockymounttelegram.com/featr/newsfd/auto/feed/features/2003/08/02/1059880090.15255.5154.4027.html "– In the midst of World War II, the Office of Strategic Services – forerunner of the CIA – commissioned a wide-ranging study of Hitler’s health and habits. He wasn’t as virile as he wanted the world to believe, the study reported. Stanley Lovell, wartime director of research and development for the OSS, opined that “A push to the female side might make his mustache fall out and his voice become soprano.” To make it happen, the OSS bribed Hitler’s personal gardener to inject huge quantities of estrogen into carrots headed for the Fuhrer’s table. Inevitably, and unfortunately for our side, his absurd destabilization effort failed." Dec 06 05, 7:26 PM

Yes, it was the Fuhrer. I believe there were also some insane attempts just to shave it off. Makes you wonder about who was running the joint back then. Dec 06 05, 8:46 PM
