"The people we're exterminating sabotaged the bombs?!" - shocked pikachu Nazis
Kinda like the French putting too long dipsticks into military vehicles going to Germany. They would show a good oil level even though it was way low, and the engine would seize

It’s probably related to this possibly apocryphal story:

And here is an AskHistorians Reddit link with some additional context.
