Around 1944 there was a new kind of chemical warfare. Tubun, was the name, and killing people was its game. Tubun was another deadly phosphorus compound and ten times more deadly than any mustard gas Winston Churchill could draw up. It was in the hands of a deadly weapon in itself, Adolf Hitler. But the questions lie ahead as why didn't he use it, and would it have influenced the outcome of the war in Europe. The answer to number one is we're not really sure. His advisers urged him to use tubun, but for some reason he knew that the allies must have had nerve gas as well and it would only retaliate further. He chose not to use the weapon that may have saved his then degrading empire in Germany. To number two, well, the jury rules as though it would have not influenced the outcome. Although, it would have caused panic where ever it had been used. One breath of tubun caused temporary blindness. Two breaths incapacitate, and three, well three it would have caused death.
Phosphorus in the hands of Nazi chemists was not a turn for good.
