It is interesting how much worse WW2 could have been, one such case is "what if they actually used Sarin". Perhaps unleashing it on D-Day, arming V2 rockets with it, perhaps even going the full hog and employing it en-masse on the eastern front.
@_Arminius

Indeed but here's a terrifying fact: They did have Tabun, also a nerve agent since before WW2 started. It's less potent than Sarin or Cyclosarin but still very lethal. The Nazis kept producing and stockpiling the stuff till the end of the war but never used it. So your scenario isn't far off what could have happened if the war dragged on for longer than it did.

@@residentevil5681 from some declassified reports, Iraqi sarin wasn't exactly pure. Likely it was impurities, or the combination of Sarin, Tabun, and Mustard. Interestingly, one of the reasons why Saddam never used Sarin against the coalition in '91 is because he was worried that the US would have a "okay, you want to use nerve gas? Welcome to the American doctorate level course in chemical weapons. Oh? You? You're the test subject." moment. The amount of nasty crap we had stockpiled at the time was frankly terrifying.

In my job with the Army that is the final part of our AIT. We suit up in full gear and enter a training facility filled with sarin gas. That is probably the most scared I've been in my whole life, your heart sinks into your stomach and you always feel paranoid its on you. And i am not one to be scared, but i couldnt help myself. I was in there for around an hour, collecting samples, fighting in simulated gunfights, and working in fake chemical bunkers. I was terrified in MOPP 4, I couldn't imagine being a civilian in syria or Iraq desperately trying to clean it off your neighbor after an attack without anything more than a shirt to protect you.
@bunsenn5064
@bunsenn5064 Год назад
About the cholinesterase part, while there are gases like sarin which block the “off” switch, there are also some agents which block acetylcholine, the “on” switch. So if you were to be exposed to one of THESE types of nerve agents, you’d be okay for a minute, but then you’d relax one of your muscles, maybe your arm, or your leg, and realize you can’t get it to contract again. Then, you’d be forced to watch in horror as each muscle, vessel, nerve, and cell in your body eventually shuts off and forgets to turn back on.

I'm interested in how this works but don't want to be put on a watchlist. Does atropine function as a substitute to acetylcholinesterase, allowing some acetylcholine to be broken down to resume normal functioning, but 2 PAM chloride is able to displace sarin from the enzyme directly? If so where does sarin bind? Looking at the structures shown in the video it doesn't look much like acetylcholine to bind to the active site, but I'm more chemist that biologist so I'm not too sure on how enzyme specificity functions on a molecular level. My guess is that these agents bind to the allosteric, using the methylphosphate as the binding point, since that remains the same in all three shown.

He said that as his column of tanks rolled into the city, they passed many abandoned gun emplacements on the side of the roads into town. He said the Germans saw MANY chemical weapons shells left by the French stacked next to the guns. They were all painted with a distinctive band of color.

I was in the military as a CBRN specialist and was lucky enough to be in a room with Sarin and VX, very interesting stuff, along with atropine you need diazepam, which is combined in these convenient auto-injectors, in which you carry 3 of, which you need all 3 to save your life, these are often referred to as CANA. Nasty stuff but Sarin has since been superseded by VX and Novichok, the only thing Sarin has going is the high volatility, which makes this nerve agent even more deadly, being able to evaporate from a liquid to a gas at room temperature and thus cause more ways to enter the body and kill you. There are plenty of these nerve agents out there, Nazi Germany made Sarin, Great Britain made VX, it would have been nice if they just weren’t invented but what can ya do sadge xc

​@@sabir1208 The funny part is my father was allergic to the chemicals to produce and develop photographic film. He once walked through the department that makes the negative film as a short cut to where he was going. The next day, his hands were cracked and raw. He had to get a shot to counteract the allergic reaction and wear cotton gloves for weeks until they healed. It didn't stop him from working but it temporarily affected his manual dexterity and efficiency for a few weeks. His security clearance was high enough that he could have lost it and his job for one defaulted debt. In the eyes of the government, this would have put him at risk of scumbling to the temptation of accepting a bribe to pay it off. My mother handled the household finances and she made sure the bills were paid come hell or high water. It's funny. As I said before, my father was involved with sidewinder and other missile development at Kodak. It's heat seeking ability was top secret at the time to keep the technology out of Communist hands so they couldn't develop counter measures against it. It was actually a simple thing of making canned flares with magnesium powder, white phosphorus and potassium nitrate, put them on a shroud line to be dropped from a fighter jet. When they ignite, they immediately produce an 8,000 degree flash which the heat seeker will follow rather than the 2,000 degree jet engine. Anyway, my older brother, at this time had a subscription to Popular Mechanics magazine. My father came home from work one day and my brother came running down stairs all excited with one in his hand. "Dad, dad. Are you working on this???" There in a Popular Mechanics magazine that anyone could pick up at a news stand was the complete design specifications, plans and theory behind the sidewinder system. After my father changed his underwear, he took the magazine to take it to work the next day. He showed it to his boss who also had to change his underwear. The FBI investigated and found out that someone in a Kodak plant in Tennessee sold the plans to P.M. They are probably buried under Leavenworth prison by now. Unrelated but by coincidence, my brother grew up, got his master's in electronics and went to work for Bell Labs in New Jersey to work on antimissile, missile systems to be sent to Vietnam to counter their Russian made anti aircraft missiles that were shooting down our jets over North Vietnam. Me? I was a heavy equipment operator before I became disabled in 1999 at 44. My hobbies were mechanical and electronics but I'd rather work with my hands. Not too many headaches from thinking that way. I can honestly say that I have never worked in the 21st century. 😂😂

The read up on Coronal Mass Ejections and Electro Magnetic Pulse weapons. There have been many studies done that show an EMP attack on the US could wipe out 90% of the population, not from and damage caused by the EMP directly, but from wiping out all our electric infrastructure and the chaos that would follow. A CME of significant magnitude could wipe out electric infrastructure around the world, as well as frying most satellites. The US government has done damn near nothing to prepare for either, as have most governments, they think because the probability is low that it will never happen, but our greatest weakness is our reliance on electricity and the internet so one day an enemy will attack them.

As far as I know, the nazis never used gasses and chemical warfare. But in WW1 the Germans did. And after they started, of course the brits and others did as well. And so Adolf Hitler was struck by a gas attack. He suffered the rest of his life because of this poisoning (which was also the reason he became a vegetarian. From the gas poisoning he couldn't longer stand the taste of meat) This personal experience made Hitler to avoid any kind of chemical warfare.
