That's what he meant, of course.
I had read several historians take on this particular decision by Hitler. He had been informed that the British had massive stockpiles of lethal gas. That should his forces use it against allied forces, there would be a massive retaliation.
Another view is and conceded highly debatable is of Hitler's own experiences in France WW1. Gas was used by both sides. Some soldiers were blinded, but careful treatment by medical means, cured them. It was recorded that some soldiers became so distraught they could not see for much longer than normal. Their sight returned eventually. It was not documented as far as I know, but some say Hitler was temporarily gassed. He was a dispatch runner.
Sad, sad, it is that Sean Spicer could have stood on the 1st Amendment to the Constitution. Told them to move on, and stood firm. The awesome power of political correctness, is a menace. Two women candidates in Canada standing for leadership of the Conservative Party recently were wiped out. They teared up before left wing tools of the Justin Trudeau crowd. When interviewed on CBC.
Every one, please excuse this rant.

Thanks for the information! Didn’t Churchill want to use poison gas but was overruled?
