War, for all of its destructiveness, ironically brings with it big pushes for innovation and creative problem solving. Some famous examples of this include the atomic bomb developed over the course of WWII, or the Trojan Horse from Homer's epic poem, "The Iliad." However, every once in a while an individual with a more zany mind comes up with some rather peculiar plans. In this video, I cover some of the more interesting plans/circumstances that occurred during battles throughout history, including Cambyses II's use of cats and animals during the 'Battle of Pelusium', the world's first "successful" combat submarine, the Confederate-made H.L. Hunley, and the story of some unexpected combatants during the 'Battle of the Bees'.
