FYI, the Germans did a sight more than `dabble' with it in the 40s - 
they `waged' it against Britain, causing many hundreds of civilian
deaths in 1944.

I don't think you should describe the act of using terror weapons
against a civilian population as if it was just a harmless, eccentric
pursuit with no consequences.
