Original Title: TIL: The Allies raided a Nazi chemical company in 1944 and interrogated a chemist due to the amount of radioactive material involved. However, they learned that he was not working on nukes, but radioactive toothpaste known as Duramad, using radiation to kill germs. Some samples are in a museum now.
