Fun Fact: Churchill wanted to use poison gas... on civilians! The plan was to drop gas on 3-4 cities at the same time, wiping out the "military workers". He hoped for 1 million deaths.
Luckily the USA was more interested in The Bomb and were slow in making the stuff. The A-bomb was just a bomb, but gassing 1M civilians is just sick.
Many tons of the stuff was being hauled to Canada for incineration, but a storm sank the barge... so tons of this crap are laying at the bottom of the Atlantic somewhere...
How was WWII any more aggressive than the last war they waged? They didn't even use gas.
