. . "The Curie Bomb"@en . . "In 1915, a German phosgene gas shell strayed from its target and hit a small village in France where Marie Curie's daughters were visiting a sick friend and were killed. Grief-stricken and seeking revenge, Curie proposed to the French government the idea of a dirty bomb to seed the enemy with radioactive material. A secret project began and two years later, several dirty bombs were dropped behind the Hindenburg Line in Northern France, killing thousands of soldiers with deadly amounts of radiation. The German army, decimated by the attack and already suffering heavy economic losses, are forced to surrender."@en . . . .
