Because poison gas was used against soldiers in the trenches in WWI, gas attack was feared in WWII. Poison gas was rarely used in WWII, except in the German death camps, where 11 million people (including 6 million Jews) were gassed to death. Poison gas in not an effective weapon in combat, if it rains the rain can disperse it, and the wind can blow it back at the side that's using it.
