What chemical weapons did the Germans use in ww1?

Answer 1

The twenty-second of April 1915 started out as a warm and sunny day, by the end of the afternoon a breeze sprang up from the North. The wind came from behind German lines, toward the Allies (British, French, Algerians)who were in place at Langemarck, near Ypres, Belgium. The German guns that had been bombarding the Allies all day suddenly stopped firing. At five o'clock, three red rockets streaked into the sky, signaling the start of a deafing artillery barrage. High explosive shells pounded into the deserted town of Ypres and the villages around it. At the same time the troops sheltering near Langemarck saw two greenish-yellow clouds rise from the enemy's lines, catch the wind and billow forward, fradually merging to form a single bank of blue-white mist. German chemical warfare pioneers were opening the valves of six thousand cylinders spread out along four miles. Chemical warfare had began.

Answer 2

Truthfully, it had very little effectiveness. For every time it disabled a group of enemy soldiers, it also disabled a group from the army that had used it, because of a sudden change of wind direction. That is the primary reason it has popped up only sporadically in warfare since - it is just too hard to control.
