    Why WW2? Chemical weapons were more of a WW1 thing, no? They were also used later, even in Syria a few years ago, but the mayor combats with them were in WW1.

      During WW1 chemical weapons were used, so everyone knew that the option was still on the table. Everyone was worried that the other side might use chemical weapons, so that’s why preparations like the one seen in the picture were made.
