A description for a gas attack in World War 1?
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.
What kind of gas was used in World War 1 against soldiers in the trenches?
chlorine and mustard
Which countermeasures were taken to protect soldiers from the dangers of WW1?
Gas masks were developed to protect from the new gas warfare. Widespread use of trenches. Neither was terribly effective.
What armory did soldiers use in World War 1?
They used trenches, artillary, tanks, posion gas, and machine guns. The trenches provided protection, while the posion gas and flamethrowers could counter the protection provided by the trenches. The machines were effective when there were troops out in the open, but useless against the tanks, just like the barbed wire, which created an obstacle for the troops. The artillary were fired from the back and they were used for killing enemy troops without losing any of their men.
What are facts about the trench warfare in world war one?
Trenches were dug by both sides in the war. Trenches were used to protect men from artillery and machine-gun fire. Trenches became death traps if the artillery could accurately locate them. Trenches were also death traps after the introduction of poison gas attacks because the heavier than air poison would sink into the trench. Trenches were sometimes very primitive ditches and sometimes were very elaborate with telephones, kitchen, latrine, field hospital, commissary, bunks, ammunition dumps, etc. Trenches were sometimes haphazard and were sometimes extremely orderly, with a front line, a secondary line, and additional trenches for reserves and artillery. Trenches were sometimes dug by one side and later taken and used by the other side. Attacks from the trenches were called "over the tops" -- the men would climb out of the trench and over a small berm with firing positions into "no man's land". There they were exposed to withering enemy machine gun, rifle and mortar fire. Typically they would fix bayonets before attacking and depending on their weapon could generally fire only one shot (or none) while attacking. Very near the end of the war, the Germans developed an effective attack strategy against trenches. Rather than use rifles with bayonets, they gave their attackers much lighter carbines that could fire many times before reloading. They also gave their men hand grenades and flame throwers in some units. These men could attack in lightning fashion in small units and often worked at night. These attacks were much more survivable (for the attackers) than the massed over the top attack. Other strategies effective against trenches were precision artillery and / or mortars; aircraft with machine guns; zeppelin attacks; and attacks from the far ends of the trenches, often with tanks.
What challenges do the soldiers face in the trenches?
Soldiers had to live through flooded trenches, rats running amok, dead bodies in the trenches, and gas attacks. But when the men tried to leave the trenches they were mowed down by gunfire, so you were stuck.
What kind of gas was used in the trenches in ww1?
Chlorine, mustard gas and tear gas.
What weapons did they use on the trenches?
Mustard Gas
How did gas masks help people help you in world war 2?
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.
What were the pros and cons of being a pilot in World War 1?
Cons: Very short life span. Chance of being shot down in flames Pros: No more poison gas attacks, no more living in trenches.
