Soldiers on both sides feared poisonous gas because it was an indiscriminate and invisible killer that could cause excruciating suffering and long-term health effects. Unlike conventional weapons, gas attacks could infiltrate trenches and shelter, rendering protective measures largely ineffective. The psychological terror associated with gas, coupled with the uncertainty of when and how it would be deployed, added to the fear, making it one of the most dreaded aspects of World War I warfare.
