They lied!!!! It leaked and destroyed everything you put it in.

Also flashlights were really crap back then. Poorly made, barely any light and the bulb always broke.

That's good information to have. I always thought they were shit because I didn't want to buy 4 new D batteries.

It’s like you don’t know how advertising works.

The alternative was an oil lamp though. And those leak too...

You were around in '41? You aold fart!

Haha, yea, these things always leaked. You didn't leave them in anything.

Alkaline leaked too, just less often. Though Duracell ruined 3 flashlights for me - one that Duracell replaced after their batteries destroyed it the first time.

Not in 1941 it wasn't. It's quite possibly dynamite fishing was fully legal back then.
