DEADLY WAR GAS
GERMAN DISCOVERY INTENDED AS FINAL WEAPON LONDON, Sept. 3. The Germans had war gas 100 times deadlier than last war’s mustard gas, one drop of which would cause complete paralysis and kill within 20 minutes, says the Daily Express. It is revealed that the Germans had 10.000 tons of bombs and shells filled with this gas and intended to use it as the final V weapon to deal a knockout blow by dropping gas cargoes on Britain. Scientific workers at I.G. Farben laboratories discovered this colourless gas. They worked in special rubber clothing, which was changed 10 times each shift. Nevertheless, some of the workers were killed through the gas seeping through to the skin.
