yes gas masks were used
The reason they wore gas masks is because they weren't sure weather the Nazi's would drop gas bombs as they did in WW1
Gas masks were developed to protect from the new gas warfare. Widespread use of trenches. Neither was terribly effective.
It was invented by Garrett A. Morgan in July 25, 1916.
it terrified soldiers and forced them to carry gas masks
Yes in a major way.In WW1 the best gas masks were makeshift ones made out of towels.Now they are light and the chances of the gas getting through is virtully nil
they did have gas when they had to cover there nose with socks and they didn,t invent gas back then till wold war 2 .
During World War I, it is estimated that over 1.5 million gas masks were produced by the end of the conflict. The masks were developed in response to the widespread use of chemical weapons on the battlefield. Various countries, including the United States, Britain, and Germany, manufactured different designs to protect soldiers from harmful gases like chlorine and mustard gas. The production of gas masks became essential as the war progressed and chemical warfare tactics evolved.
Garett Morgan invented the gas mask. I'm not sure when and where, though. By SkyQueen1234 Garrett Moragan invented the gas mask in in 1914 and never used it until 1916. and i don't know where Mr.Morgan invented the gas mask ! BY :FREASHCHICK123
So that you won't inhale anything poisonous.
The use of masks goes back to the 1800s when inventors developed masks for the miners and soldiers. We still have our soldiers outfitted with gas masks.
