It was during the Battle of Ypres, in Belgium.
Many French soldiers succumbed to the gas and others retreated, then the Canadian core had to come in and fortify the path the French had left open, resulting in Canadian casualties as well. It is said the Germans had gas masks in case the gas came back in their direction due to the wind movements, but it is unconfirmed. This led to the development of gas masks, the production of poisonous gases, the testing of gases on prisoners, and the improper disposal of remaining gases.

When was poisonous gas first used by Germans in world war 1?

April 22, 1915 at 5:00PM, near Ypres France, the Germans released 168 tons of chlorine gas against the French.The above statement is not entirely correct, the first recorded gas attack was by the French in August 1914, they used tear gas grenades containing xylyl bromide on the Germans. The Second Battle of Ypres is the first use of gas with intent to cause harm rather than just an irritant.Actually, the first is statement is correct about the part that the Germans released a gas.. that person said chlorine (idk if the Germans released that) but i know that they released a gas called mustard gas at the Russians ;) lol all three answers u got r different..
