HOOK (first 3 seconds spoken):
A German soldier would intentionally eat an entire bar of soap during World War

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FULL SCRIPT:
A German soldier would intentionally eat an entire bar of soap during World War II. He did this because during the Eastern Front, soldiers were trapped in frozen trenches with no way to escape. There were only a few medical evacuations that could get soldiers away from the front line, but these were mainly for sick or wounded troops. So in order to escape the battle, some soldiers ate soap bars to fake illness and get evacuated.
