America Had No Flamethrower Fuel in 1943 — So Dow Chemical Created Napalm in a Harvard Laboratory

February 1943: US Marines were dying trying to neutralize Japanese bunkers with flamethrowers that barely worked. The fuel didn't stick, didn't burn long enough, and America was running out of rubber to make it. In a Harvard laboratory, chemist Louis Fieser had 8 months to solve an impossible problem—or watch the Pacific War turn into a bloodbath. What he created by accident changed warfare forever. This is the untold story of how napalm went from a desperate wartime experiment to one of the most controversial weapons in history. From Tarawa's beaches to Tokyo's firestorms, discover the science, the soldiers, and the moral dilemma that still haunts us 80 years later. #WW2 #WorldWarTwo #PacificWar #MilitaryHistory #Napalm
