Re: Beer Bottles as Ordnance

Not beer bottles but milk bottles with a razor in the neck. One Canadian who piloted Stirlings in an RAF outfit told me about his crew bringing the odd case of empty milk bottles on board to drop over the target. On another occasion they dispatched a metal bed frame over Germany. The crew thought it would be good propaganda to show the Germans the Brits were desperate. He never mentioned the kitchen sink but any thing is possible.
