Monopoly's Hidden Maps Help World War II POWs Escape - ABC News

This is pretty cool. Apparently Monopoly board games were used to smuggle maps and escape materials to POWs held by the Nazis and Italians during WWII.

I have a history degree and I've studied the war a lot and I've never heard of this. Such an interesting story.

Sadly, you'd never get a multinational company to help a nation's military like this in today's world.
