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.
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.
It is estimated that only about 3% of World War I casualties were caused by poison gas. However there were many soldiers who were severely disabled due to exposure to various kinds of these gases.
Mustard Gas caused the most casualties and deaths in WWI.
Cl gas = it is clorine gas it affects the respritory system and then eats away at your internal organs
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.
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.
Shell and gas attacks in the trenches during World War I were devastating experiences for soldiers. The barrages of artillery shells created chaos, destruction, and significant casualties, often causing severe injuries and psychological trauma. Gas attacks introduced an additional layer of terror; toxic chemicals like chlorine and mustard gas incapacitated soldiers, leading to agonizing deaths and long-term health issues. The combination of these attacks made trench warfare particularly horrific, as it instilled a constant fear of impending death from both explosive and chemical threats.
Thousands, but the real total is unknown.
Do NOT mess with Gas. It is very important to have your gas fire serviced by a QUALIFIED Gas engineer/fitter. This is because a faulty fire can produce Carbon Monoxide fumes that can kill you. There are MANY deaths each year caused by badly maintained Gas fires.
They were put in gas chambers
It is estimated that only about 3% of World War I casualties were caused by poison gas. However there were many soldiers who were severely disabled due to exposure to various kinds of these gases.
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.
In case of supprise gas attacks. Everyone had to take their gas mask with them where ever they went.
They were efficient and the killer did not have to see the deaths of the victims.
On average, there are fewer than 10 fatalities per year in the UK due to gas explosions. These incidents are relatively rare but can have significant consequences.
Asbestos is not a gas, but a particulate. Between 550 and 600 deaths per year in the US only.
In world war one it was probably mustard gas and machine guns.
