Some of those poison gasses were "accidentally" invented.. they were trying to make stronger pesticides for crops and when the guy who created one of the gasses saw how deadly it was notified the army of its potential and we all know the rest of the story
the chemicals that were used are not that lethal despite hollywood movies. sulfur mustard is primarily just blistering, burning, and mutagenic(mutation). i’m pretty sure it takes around a few grams for it to actually be lethal
Just listening to all these damages and equipment was lost during this wars we had in the past only makes us imagine how we could have been if no of this were lost and destroyed
How about the fact that ww1 was basically one large family feud. Since the British had a cousin in the Nickolas Romanov. And both were related the Kaiser
@@johnmonkelennon3900 mustard was the last major chemical weapon to be introduced in WWI, after (in reverse order) phosgene, cyanide, chlorine, and tear gas
The USA only bought a few Maxium guns its offical machine gun was a Browning design and the French used the Hotchkiss machine gun instead of the Maxium gun
during ww2 the 75mm field gun was used as a french anti-tank gun during the invasion of France, but after France fell to the germans, the Vichy French did use this field gun during ww2 including in Vichy french African colonies during ww2, but the french still used this gun as a saluting gun to this today.
No no no that can't be right. No no. Mother. Mother where are you? Hurry mother hurry hurry hurry and wake me up. I'm having a nightmare mother where are you? Hurry mother. I'm down here. Here mother. Here in the darkness. Pick me up. Rockabye baby. Now I lay me down to sleep. Oh mother hurry because I can't wake up. Over here mother. When the wind blows the cradle will rock. Hold me up high high. Mother you've gone away and forgotten me. Here I am. I can't wake up mother. Wake me up. I can't move. Hold me. I'm scared. Oh mother mother sing to me and rub me and bathe me and comb my hair and wash out my ears and play with my toes and clap my hands together and blow my nose and kiss my eyes and mouth like I've seen you do with Elizabeth like you must have done with me. Then I'll wake up and I'll be with you and I'll never leave or be afraid or dream again. Oh no. I can't. I can't stand it. Scream. Move. Shake something. Make a noise any noise. I can't stand it. Oh no no no. Please I can't. Please no. Somebody come. Help me. I can't lie here forever like this until maybe years from now I die. I can't. Nobody can. It isn't possible. I can't breathe but I'm breathing. I'm so scared I can't think but I'm thinking. Oh please please no. No no. It isn't me. Help me. It can't be me. Not me. No no no. Oh please oh oh please. No no no please no. Please. Not me. "Johnny Got His Gun" by Dalton Trumbo
$:40 the presenter has just said that the 75 mm field gun would decimate German troops then goes on to say that 1 in 4 German losses came from this gun, so which was it?
@ 8:35 Oh no! What happened to their mouths? I think we need to look into that, it looks like a symptom of some kind of chemical weapons attack or something, that's just horrendous! 😋
Mustard gas is so easy to make, that you can make it by accident if you just mix the wrong industrial cleaning chemicals, so think twice about messing with a janitor lol
