"In October of 1941, German soldiers looted a spirits warehouse left by the retreating Red Army. As a result, 95 men received methanol poisoning, of which 10 have died.

Because of this, the Quartermaster of the 16th Army has ordered that all captured alcohol should be inspected at the army laboratory before consumption."
