The Nazis used Carbon Monoxide in special vans at first, but it became very traumatic for the soldiers as the victims would scream and yell and do all sorts of horrible stuff while dying, trying to clean out the vans was a mess too.

As Germans are known to do, they went with more efficient means later, such as Zyklon B, a de-lousing agent.

Chemical battlefield weapons are a different animal.

“Sean, you have had a long trip, please disrobe and take a shower.

“It’s been a long and dirty journey.”

“White House Press Secretary”

Worse job in America. I don’t care which administration they are a part of.

Yeah. In combat he didn’t.

That’s a pretty stupid statement. What the hell was Zyklon B and just whose people did the Nazis use it on?

He used chemicals in the concentration camp, not as a battlefield weapon.

Except for the gas vans.

The gas chamber and battle field tactical chemical munitions are different beasts. In 1945 Hitler was suicidal, surrounded and yet didn’t stoop to the level of using chemical attacks. I get his point, you should too.

When an inmate is put to death by lethal injection, is that a weapon?

Hitler could have unleashed chemical weapons on the allies but he didn’t.

I was astounded when I heard him say this. It made me think that he is going overboard in trying to make Assad out to be the bad guy.

Leave it to the NYT to twist history. Hitler was wounded in WWI by gas and vowed never to use it for military purposes. Using it in gas chambers is entirely different from warfare.

Uh.....maybe because the nutball was hit with them? Should we go back in time and bomb London?

Yes, I know about those but they weren’t battlefield weapons. They were precursors to the gas chambers in concentration camps.

No more hitler talk - just stick to the subject you know.

I thought Freepers had a more sophisticated understanding of history.

But a significant number of the Jews were German, i.e., “his people”.
