hey just a quick question. I'd like to use this video as a part of my history project and I was wondering if that was alright with you? Also, where did you find this video clip/where is it from? THANKS SO MUCH!
Now days we have enough chemical nerve gas to wipe out the planet. Or so people and the history channel say...-.- Anyway the nerve gas we have today can kill you in less than a minute and it takes a VERY little amount of it.
@911sanitarium No, this is an organic molecule. It works by irreversibly binding to the DNA causing the cell to die. This releases cellular components into the surrounding tissue which results in inflammation and blistering.
@911sanitarium You can find the solution of your question ... on Wikipedia: just enter the word SARIN.
The most dangerous war-gasses (nowadays) are Sarin, Soman, Tabun, and...VX.
After WW l, the "allies" dropped many thousends of gas-grenades in the Northsea.
Even today, it is forbidden to fish there: the location is just before Heist (Knokke-Heist) only 4 kilometer from the harbour of Zeebrugge, Vlaanderen, (north of Belbium)

AN IDEAL STRONGEST FORM OF DEMOCRACY INCLUDED (See Subchapter 3.1.2.1, Chapter 3, of Part One.).
correct me if I am wrong, but didn't the same scientist also contribute to the making of the poisonous gass that ended up being used in the Nazi concentration camps (I think it was called cyclone B or Zyclone B?). I think he was forced to leave Germany in the 20's because of the rise of nazism which is a bit ironic considering he was very patriotic to germany through the first world war and had been a major contributor to German advancement of science, I think he was also a nobel prize winner.
if i recall my history correctly, the wife (also a scientist) of the german scientist who made chlorine gas commited suicide after she had overseen the first use of the gass and the effects it had on the enemy at the battle of ypres.
Just think, you can MAKE THIS SHIT AT HOME! Not only that, but mustard gas basically further developed Hitler's idea of killing off all the Jews since it damaged his brain.
The planes overhead are chemtrailing us with phosgene gas. This is what is causing the mass bird die off. and other animals as well. its only a matter of time before they up the amount to kill us humans.
Japanese balloon boms(im off topic) are pretty interesting 5 were found in the U.S. 1 of which killed 5 students and a teacher hiking in the woods 40 years after its launch over 100 were launched so who knoes where they are all at...
Mustard gas, as a compound very easily forms chlorine gas. Once the chlorine gas enters the environment, it interacts with nitrogen bearing compounds (like ammonia). These compounds are somewhat trace in their amounts, however they are ubiquitous enough. The chlorine gas forms hyrdochloric acid from the nitrogen bearing compounds. So if you didn't die from the chlorine gas, you died from severe acid burns in your lungs...and if you didn't die from that...a lifetime of suffering.
My mom's uncle was gassed in WWI. He did not pass away till 1954. I assume to complications from it. He was a Private in the Army. I suppose i would need to open up records from the National Archives in order to know details.
The way i look at some of this Is gases are Effective and a Great first and Second wave for war but don't use em too Often cues the Enemy will find out n' Start taking it into Preparation of what your Doing, Thets how they find out and start waring gas mask with Full Bio Suits and use a Mass Evacuation along with a Nuclear Counter Attack to your Country.
it's not for nothing that poison gas is banned under the geneva convention right after the war. yes, one can always say something like, 'the 1918 world flu epidemic killed far more people than all the battles of ww1' ...but that's all meaningless if you happen to have been made blind by poison gas.
My grand grand fther died 10 yearsafter the great war from the effects on the long term he had sufferd in the trenches (i'm frennch he was a french soldier)
My grandad told me that during 'gas attacks' they had to piss on a hankerchief, cover their nose & mouth with it, squeeze their eyes shut... & pray the Jerry's didn't attack across no-mans land... cos they were too busy convulsing & dying!
A terrible war. There was such a poor command structure that personified the 'birth priviledge' of the upper-classes. Expected to fight a 'gentlemans war', based on obsolete ideals of the Crimean, under abominable conditions!
@121Bollox Ya except they didn't find out till after that the pee tactic didn't work that's so rough. Your grandfather was a lucky man to survive through it
@ExclusiveXxXxXx - He did die there, mate. Trench-foot got him. No, you're correct, the hankies were useless, but the troops had faith in their commanding officers. Their commanding officers knew ONE thing... they knew they knew nothing about the gas! They tried, and they won over the soldiers trust. They left them to die, as they pushed 'numbers' around a board. It just so happened that those 'numbers' were whole communities, friends, families... who trusted the 'gentlemen' pushing 'numbers'!
@121Bollox Oh sorry to hear there bud and ya those generals didn't know shit sorry that your great Grandfather fell victim to their stupidity my great great Grandfather met a similar fate out there not sure on details but R.I.P To all Veterans
@ExclusiveXxXxXx - No, mate... no apologies necessary. It's just great that you, I, and others who view this vid, want to remember the sacrifices both sides made in the Great War! It makes me a little sad when people don't, tbh.
To my shame, I was standing in a pub one day, and I dunno why, but answered a Q from someone else, "Yeah my granddad(he was a comando during WW2) was just a corporal."
WHACK across the head!
Old fella said to me, "No such thing as JUST a Corporal, son." How right he was.
@121Bollox The stupidity of people will never cease to amaze me I mean Jesus. I mean I tend to catch shit quite a bit cause I even pay respects to the German troops as well from those conflicts and people sit there and say how can you say such a thing and associate me as a Nazi when really they fought for something they believed in and if you believe in it isn't it worth fighting for? So I dunno glad someone seems to have a head on their shoulders
@121Bollox I know it doesn't make it right but when your brain washed into something and taught it from the word go what do they expect. Who knows our Grand kids or great grand kids might even say the same about us some day
@AnonymousEmperor - Cheers, mate... If I remember his exact words correctly, he'd still say to me, "Get out of it ya soppy sod! It had to be done... we were just kids who knew no better!"
Personally, I'd say he was a nutter! lol. But he was right in one way, what was the alternative?
Thank you, though, Anon-Emp... I've bought so many remembrance day poppies to date I could start a bloody plastic opium factory! ;)
May their gods bless them all, words could ever do justice!
@121Bollox very true, I'm from Belgium. In some places there's still glass bubbles found with mostard gas in them. Especially around a place called Tienen. We also find a lot of bombs, grenades and bullets. I've found 3 grenades and a package of bullets a few years ago.
There's an old fortress where I live (mortsel, Belgium).... there's water around it, they're afraid to bagger the water cause there's still bombs in there
@121Bollox Im doing this in history and thats what they told us, They pissed on a hankercheif put against there nose and mouth before gasmasks were invented.. bloody sick.. + the trench rats were disgusting
@Talentz92 The urea in urine interacted to form hydrochloric acid with mustard gas. It's a strong acid, yes, but it kept gas from getting in the lungs and possibly forming acid there. Better to burn a glove than die or live with burned lungs.
@121Bollox Interestingly enough a piss/water covered handkerchief is not sufficient for CW protection. It only worked against agents such as phosgene and chloroacetone or similar pulmonary/irritating agents. mustard gas and hydrogen cyanide(rarely used) would have gone straight though, many mustard gas injuries occurred on the torso which was permanently covered with clothing often wet due to the conditions. I doubt ur grandfather took on any mustard.
@121Bollox My grandad too was in ww1 in one gas attack he lost his gas mask had to steal one from a dead freind of his... He said it was a terrible war too
@barraki150 Incorrect. The aggressor (Germany and other beliggerents) lost, therefore it was a win for freedom. Not sure if you've ever seen the quote from the Kaiser stating, "No more shall decisions be made in the wordl without the Kaisers approval", but I seem to remember coming across that somewhere.
@Binky40SW You think war is fought for freedom? You're dead wrong! It's all about money, Oil, more territories, gold. The list goes on.. Freedom has nothing to do with that. People like you think it's "Good Versus Evil".
@barraki150 It IS about "good vs evil". Evil is FORCING a person or a population to do as you say without a vote, in this case like the Kaiser, or more recently Stalin, or Hitler, or Obama.
"Good", as you put it, is allowing the people to have a voice other than what one dictator sees as appropriate-no censorship, no gulags, no control.
If a despot decides to subjugate an otherwise free country and threaten a free populace, violence IS a means to an end, whether you think so or not.
@Binky40SW Are you talking about anarchism? If i understood you right. But war is just because of greed, the victor writes history that's maybe why you think its GOOD versus EVIL..
@barraki150 Tell your "good vs. evil" comment to ANYONE who has ever been freed from the regime of a brutal dictator. (I had a coworker once who lost his entire family when Saddam gassed his own people for rebelling against his regime.) Tell anyone who ever had their family loaded into an oven in one of the many camps in occupied Europe, or anyone still alive who bears a serial number tattooed on their forearm.
It's not about money or greed, it's good vs evil, freedom vs oppression.
@Binky40SW When 2 giant contries fight against each other its not good vs evil. But when its rebels vs army with an evil leader then it might be good vs evil. You're talking about the nazis now. They were in ww2, this is a video about ww1. Yes the nazis where very very bad. But the allies were bad also. That's why it isnt good vs evil. Because everyone have theyr evil sides. The british take australia fx and put everyone into slavery thats not "white" and slaughet the indians.
@Binky40SW And the americans torture prisoners slaughter people in vietnam nuke 2 japanese cities stole the land from the Indians and hate on the mexicans. Put black people into slavery and kill them if they're too old to work. Theres no "GOOD" side..
@Binky40SW And now you're starting calling me an idiot huh? brainwashed by propaganda you are. But dont worry. You're not the first american brainwashed by propaganda.
@121Bollox You're right, but back then the French claimed victory and me the versailles treaty which ruined germany, which was one of the things that pissed of Hitler. o.0
@metalsonicdoll - Far from it, mate! 'Mustard Gas', or chlorine chemicals, were a hideous weapon, used by BOTH sides!
@levlobotomy urright! It was in retaliation to german/austrian/jewish attack! (NOPE! I'm not jumping on ANY bandwagon... the jews were on the german side during the early stages of WW1... bad choice!)
I lost my great-grandfather during the Great War. He died from scepticaemia through 'trench-foot'.
@Limpmania , this makes as little sense as the date of "19147". In August 1914, they were in a war of movement, where the use of gasses would have been impratical (gasses were mostly efficient on entrenched troops).
Anyway, neither the French nor the Germans had any operational chemical weapons in 1914.
@Limpmania , then you may claim that gasses were used every time a medieval army burned straw stacks to blind enemy troops... Not serious. Again, neither the French nor the Germans had any operational chemical weapon in 1914. The first recorded gas attack in history was launched by the German army in April 1915 in Belgium.
@Fridomfry Why always 1914? In 1915, Germand dies by the own gas attack agaisnt the Russians. You need the first gas attack that kills soldiers? Not 22 april 1915 near Ypres, because begin 1915 the German gas attack kils Germans troops near Bolimow.
@Limpmania , OK, we can agree on this. It remains thus that the gas attack in history was in 1915, with the German unsuccessful attempt near Bolimow. Salut à Ypres.
@Fridomfry While he fucked up on the year, he was in fact correct that the French had used non-lethal riot control agents (tear gas) in the hopes of breaking the Germans in what was effectively a stalemate at that point due to the unassailable nature of trench warfare.
"World War I saw the earliest implementation of this technique. The actual first chemical ammunition was the French 26 mm cartouche suffocante rifle grenade, fired from a flare carbine. It contained 35g of the tear-producer ethylbromacetate, and was used in autumn 1914 – with little effect on the Germans."
Some historians feel that the true effects of gas have been exaggerated in post-war accounts; no battle was decided by the use of poison gas, and the number of actual casualties inflicted was a tiny fraction of the overall number.
@Quemish88 dude why post that, who cares if its been exaggerated, without any experience or true knowledge i would say that poison gas rolling into a muddy trench that you and your few surviving mates were occupying would be scary as hell. The men and women that stood there ground during ww1 have more courage and bravery than you or i could ever imagine possessing.
my great grandpa deserted the austrian army and fled to america....we did a search on his unit and we found out they were all gassed and killed 4 months later
Not at all. In 1914, a French unit threw tear-gas grenades to German invaders, that's all. Nothing comparable with the Germans' massive use of lethal gas, beginning in early 1915. The Germans have always tried to justify their war crimes with small offenses from their enemies.
chemical weapons had such an effect on people. when we here a country has chemical weapons we and use them we still get chills. what happened in ww1 is imprinted on the west.
"But most casualties were from bullets and shells" Lovely

@barraki150 Tell your "good vs. evil" comment to ANYONE who has ever been freed from the regime of a brutal dictator. (I had a coworker once who lost his entire family when Saddam gassed his own people for rebelling against his regime.) Tell anyone who ever had their family loaded into an oven in one of the many camps in occupied Europe, or anyone still alive who bears a serial number tattooed on their forearm.
It's not about money or greed, it's good vs evil, freedom vs oppression.

@Binky40SW When 2 giant contries fight against each other its not good vs evil. But when its rebels vs army with an evil leader then it might be good vs evil. You're talking about the nazis now. They were in ww2, this is a video about ww1. Yes the nazis where very very bad. But the allies were bad also. That's why it isnt good vs evil. Because everyone have theyr evil sides. The british take australia fx and put everyone into slavery thats not "white" and slaughet the indians.

am i the only who noticed it said in the description "gases range from disabling gases like tear gas and severe mustard gas"?!
last time i checked a little bit of mustard gas=mustard killing you inside out

@metalsonicdoll - Far from it, mate! 'Mustard Gas', or chlorine chemicals, were a hideous weapon, used by BOTH sides!
@levlobotomy urright! It was in retaliation to german/austrian/jewish attack! (NOPE! I'm not jumping on ANY bandwagon... the jews were on the german side during the early stages of WW1... bad choice!)
I lost my great-grandfather during the Great War. He died from scepticaemia through 'trench-foot'.

When used in war (WW1), few people exposed to it actually died... they were incapacitated, though.

poison gas was used in battle of Ypres for the first time in human history.

First use was by the rench in august 19147, follow by the Germans in Ocotber 1914.
Limpmania 1 year ago
@Limpmania , this makes as little sense as the date of "19147". In August 1914, they were in a war of movement, where the use of gasses would have been impratical (gasses were mostly efficient on entrenched troops).
Anyway, neither the French nor the Germans had any operational chemical weapons in 1914.

Gas = gas.....use = use...... Strong or not, the gas is used before april 1915.
Limpmania 1 year ago
@Limpmania , then you may claim that gasses were used every time a medieval army burned straw stacks to blind enemy troops... Not serious. Again, neither the French nor the Germans had any operational chemical weapon in 1914. The first recorded gas attack in history was launched by the German army in April 1915 in Belgium.
Fridomfry 1 year ago
@Fridomfry Why always 1914? In 1915, Germand dies by the own gas attack agaisnt the Russians. You need the first gas attack that kills soldiers? Not 22 april 1915 near Ypres, because begin 1915 the German gas attack kils Germans troops near Bolimow.

@Limpmania , OK, we can agree on this. It remains thus that the gas attack in history was in 1915, with the German unsuccessful attempt near Bolimow. Salut à Ypres.

@Fridomfry While he fucked up on the year, he was in fact correct that the French had used non-lethal riot control agents (tear gas) in the hopes of breaking the Germans in what was effectively a stalemate at that point due to the unassailable nature of trench warfare.

"World War I saw the earliest implementation of this technique. The actual first chemical ammunition was the French 26 mm cartouche suffocante rifle grenade, fired from a flare carbine. It contained 35g of the tear-producer ethylbromacetate, and was used in autumn 1914 – with little effect on the Germans."

Some historians feel that the true effects of gas have been exaggerated in post-war accounts; no battle was decided by the use of poison gas, and the number of actual casualties inflicted was a tiny fraction of the overall number.

@Quemish88 yeah well I doubt either one of us would like to die from chlorine gas poisoning nonetheless

@Quemish88 dude why post that, who cares if its been exaggerated, without any experience or true knowledge i would say that poison gas rolling into a muddy trench that you and your few surviving mates were occupying would be scary as hell. The men and women that stood there ground during ww1 have more courage and bravery than you or i could ever imagine possessing.

True but the pshyogical effect were enormous -- it was probably one of the most painful ways to die in WW1.

the french used poison gas first.
levlobotomy 2 years ago
Not at all. In 1914, a French unit threw tear-gas grenades to German invaders, that's all. Nothing comparable with the Germans' massive use of lethal gas, beginning in early 1915. The Germans have always tried to justify their war crimes with small offenses from their enemies.
