Exposed: Nazi plot to bomb Britain with peas

London - Saboteurs working for Nazi Germany plotted a World War 2 bombing campaign in Britain involving exploding cans of processed French peas, according to secret files made public on Friday.

The three-man team, including two Germans and a resident of what was then British-ruled India, were nabbed after they landed on Ireland's southwest coast in July 1940 and jailed in Dublin.

Security agency papers released to the National Archives in London said they had three or four metal boxes of explosives with them - including a number of cans labelled "Prepared French Peas" which contained small slabs of nitrocellulose.

An informer detained with the trio at Dublin's Mountjoy prison told the Irish authorities that they were en route to England with a "definite plan" which he tought included an attempt to "blow up Buckingham Palace".
