Apparently, the CIA wanted to drop baskets of US-made goods over Soviet territory to show how these goods were superior to what was available in the Soviet Union. One item in these baskets would have been huge sized condoms labeled “Made in the USA: Medium”.
I’m not sure if the intention was to intimidate the Soviets into surrendering or to convince them that capitalism makes you well hung.
Reminds me of the psychological warfare that the Iraqis tried to use on the Americans in Gulf War I.
Iraqi loudspeaker - “US Troops, go home! While you’re out here fighting wars, your wives and GF’s are at home getting fked by people like Tom Cruise and Bart Simpson!”

Not entirely pyscological, but British spies tried to turn Hitler into a woman. That’s my favorite.
