HOOK (first 3 seconds spoken):
German soldiers would intentionally cover their tanks in mud in an attempt

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FULL SCRIPT:
German soldiers would intentionally cover their tanks in mud in an attempt to fool the British army. You see, in 1940, British soldiers invented sticky grenades that had a glass casing filled with nitroglycerin and could stick to any dry surface, delivering a powerful blow. But because the grenade couldn't stick to mud, Germans smeared their tanks in it and escaped.
