=== World War II ===
: "Every HYDRA agent that we've tried to take alive has crunched a little pill before we can stop him."
: ―Chester Phillips[src]
During World War II, cyanide pills were common between spies. As such, after killing Abraham Erskine, HYDRA agent Heinz Kruger tried to flee using the Fieser Dorsch. Steve Rogers pursued him and successfully avoided Kruger's escape, but before he could be questioned, Kruger swallowed a cyanide pill concealed inside a fake tooth, dying shortly after menacing Rogers about being the first of many HYDRA operatives.
Chester Phillips noted in his interrogation of Arnim Zola that Zola was the only HYDRA agent that the Strategic Scientific Reserve captured alive because he didn't take a cyanide pill.
