In a nutshell during the early stages of World War 1, America was selling munitions to Britain ,France ,and Russia. German saboteurs blew a harbor in New York City sky high. It was packed with small arms ammunition and TNT. In today's dollars the damage was a half a billion dollars.

They used a series of ingenious cigar bombs to start fires.

Somewhere deep in my brain I remember reading about that! Thanks for sharing this, Paint.
