Not the bat bomb. I'm looking for pictures of the CAT bomb. It was an OSS project that attempted to use cats to guide bombs into axis ships. The premise was that cats hated water so much that if you packed them into a control harness within a bomb they would instinctively guide the bomb onto the deck of an enemy ship to avoid getting wet. The project was eventually canceled when in testing the OSS discovered that cats tend to pass out from G-forces when strapped into a 500lb bomb traveling at terminal velocity.

Yeah, the Soviets pretty much pioneered women in combat rolls. Women tankists and snipers were often taken on tours around various allied countries to garner support for the war effort.

"If the cards were down and Germany calling the United State's bluff the Americans would rather surrender than let a women near a gun or a black man near a white man."
