The Smut Bomb

I remember reading many years ago about a World War II plot to stop the war through pornography. I can no longer find this book or a reference anywhere about The Smut Bomb so I need to know if it existed.

The idea was to play off of Adolph Hitler’s sexual and mental disfuntions. The government was going drop thousands of nude photos all around where they thought Hitler was hiding out. They thought once he came across all of this smut his brain would fry and he would go crazy, or become incapacited. It was obviously never used but I want to know if this was an actual war room plot or one of my adolescent fantasies?

I’m at work, so I don’t have my library handy, but yes, it was a plan. Pretty much the way you describe it. It got about three levels up the chain of command before someone said “This is stupid.” and killed it.
