He was also, in the last year and a half of the war very suspicious of the General Staff. They weren't above disobeying him. They spared Paris and they spared Rome against his wishes. It's hard to imagine his generals would have obeyed any order to use gas in a last-resort situation.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4937285970642106606.post-65473979305333868542013-08-25T19:03:21.727-04:002013-08-25T19:03:21.727-04:00Evil or not, Hitler wasn`t stupid. I think that th...Evil or not, Hitler wasn`t stupid. I think that there is an element of truth in all three of your arguments. From personal experience Hitler knew and feared gas weapons. They were cheap and easy to manufacture, so any advantage from deploying it would be quickly countered. During the cold war, weaponized gas was expected not to win battles by itself, but to slow down rapid advances by neccesitating countermeasures. Since the Wehrmacht depended upon lightning fast attack and movement, bringing gas into the equation would disadvantage the Germans. Lastly, mutually assured destruction of civilian centres was probably too terrible to risk. Thats what I would guess anyway, but I am willing to bet there is archival evidence regarding German deliberations on this exact question. Never before in history was a defeated enemies inner workings documented so throughly as the Third Reich. Nazi beaurocrats kept records in triplicate, so I bet there are answers available òut there`on the internet thingyBluegreenbloggerhttp://greencanada.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
