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...
