Malicious Compliance: The Car Company That Sabotaged the Nazis
Manage episode 482206258 series 2898095
Sometimes, the best resistance looks like obedience. During the Nazi occupation of France, the Citroën automobile factory seemed to be cooperating — manufacturing trucks for the German military like any other commandeered facility. But behind the scenes, the French workers were quietly waging a war of their own. This episode tells the story of how a simple dipstick nearly brought down supply lines... and explores other clever examples of malicious compliance during WWII. Then we chat with Comedian Tristan Miller from New Zealand!
