Pandur Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 yes well if there where verry high concentrations reached, you could see plumes, however it wasnt yellow and green. also this two are just two of numerouse agents used. and the mustard gas was generaly used to deny area for longer times instead of assault preperation. it was to "sedentery" to send man there right after it. at least till they came up with the Mustardgas/HE rounds, wich was late in the war for the central powers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I recall a vivid description of the first use of chemical munitions in WWI. I have forgotten the title of the book. In the description, the Germans used Chlorine gas delivered in cannisters. The Germans opened the cannisters and allowed the prevailing winds to drift the cloud towards the defending Canadians. The cloud was described as 20' tall, with a blue tint. (The rest of the story; the Germans initially broke through the Canadians' trenches. However, their success was so far beyond their expectations that they did not have enough reserves positioned. The counter-attacking Canadians retook their trenches. They found their compatriots dead. Some had shoved handfuls of mud down their throats to ease their pain. All the exposed metal surfaces were discolored. Very nasty.) I am not sure where this particular attack falls in the spectrum of gas concentrations. It may be a high-end outlier. It may not be. Regardless, the survivors reported the color of the gas cloud.

It may be a high-end outlier. i guess you mean the first rolling gas cloud ever, used by germany at Ypern. yes you could consider this a verry high concentration, although the wind was giving em troubles quiet a lot. also the death toll was moderate compared to the suprise it caused and effort put in. however many where gas casualties although not dead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
