As I understand it there were no gas attacks in the European Theater of Operations. The Nazis did use gas to murder the Jews in many concentration camps and elsewhere to kill prisoners or some of their one military traitors or the resistance fighters. In the Pacific Theater of Operation tear gas was used in some places to get the Japanese Soldiers to come out of their caves. The Japanese did use chemical and biological weapons against the Chinese soldier and civilians while they did testing of the weapons. I heard they did use them after the testing on the Chinese but I have not heard that they used them on the Allied Forces. They could have used them on the prisoners of war either for testing or for killing them on purpose.
There were no battles with mustard gas or chlorine gas. Hitler did not allow the use of it in battle because he had been injured by the gas during World War 1 by his own military. It was dangerous and caused tremendous damage to anyone who survived the gas attacks. The gas weapons were outlaw internationally. You won't see many nations or militia groups now using gas weapons for that very reason. It would be great if all land mines were eliminated and eradicated.
No no gas was used in WW2
World War One gas attacks were when the Germans gased the Trenches out with Mustard Gas. This caused a massive amount of deaths in the War.
Gas attacks on military forces during combat were not commonly used during World War 2. One of the few fronts was in China by the Japanese.
Cl gas = it is clorine gas it affects the respritory system and then eats away at your internal organs
Thousands, but the real total is unknown.
None, nerve gases weren't used in WW1.
The first gas attacks in WW1 were not lethal, but were designed to confuse the enemy long enough to be able to attack. When the attacks changed to a deadly type soldiers did not know how to deal with the gas. Gas masks were not always helpful, and death came slowly, taking hours or even days of horrible agony before succumbing to the gas effects.
Some countries were afraid of gas attacks being used against them, so masks that could protect the people were manufactured and spread.
The Hague Convention in the early 1900 banned gas attacks. Even though Hitler did break many international war law, he encouraged and supported the ban of gas as chemical weapons. He knew the phycological concequences of it and also it would cost a lot more to supple a gas mask to every soldier.
During World War II, the use of gas attacks was largely limited compared to World War I, primarily due to the widespread recognition of its horrors and the development of protective measures. While chemical weapons were employed, particularly by the Axis powers, the number of deaths specifically attributed to gas attacks in WWII is estimated to be in the low thousands. Notably, the Holocaust involved the use of gas in extermination camps, which contributed significantly to the overall death toll. However, exact figures are difficult to determine due to the chaotic nature of war and the lack of comprehensive records.
During World War I, soldiers protected themselves from gas attacks by using gas masks, which were designed to filter out toxic chemicals. They also employed techniques such as staying low to the ground to avoid inhaling gas that lingered at higher levels. Additionally, soldiers learned to quickly respond to gas alarms and seek shelter in trenches or designated safe areas. Some units even experimented with improvised barriers and smoke screens to minimize exposure to enemy gas.
Poisonous gas introduced a new and terrifying dimension to World War I, leading to shifts in military tactics and strategies. It forced armies to develop protective gear, such as gas masks, and altered the dynamics of trench warfare, as soldiers had to constantly prepare for gas attacks. The psychological impact of gas warfare also instilled fear among troops and civilians alike, contributing to the overall brutality of the conflict. Additionally, the unpredictability of wind direction often made gas attacks as dangerous for the attacking forces as for their enemies.
