I find it hard to believe the using pounds upon pounds of sugar in a war ravaged and occupied France was a very common method.
I'm not certain about the access to luxury items in Vichy France or occupied territories, but I know that many if not most countries directly involved in the war ended up rationing certain foods, with sugar usually being one of them.
I feel like if you had an extra few hundred pounds of sugar you could use to disrupt construction, that you'd probably be better off trading it for explosives or something.
Did you miss the part it said the '80s?
Yes I missed that part. Makes more sense in the 80s.
