i think you have stories/products mixed up - M&M's were created for the US soldiers in WWII, the hard candy shell protected them from melting so made them a good snack for soldiers to pack. the idea wasn't totally Mars Candy's invention, he got the idea from a similar product in the Spanish Civil War.
