Although the Germans never used it they had nerve gas.
In General Patton’s diary, he mentions that a captured German soldier told them a barge on the Rhine was carrying deadly gas. Patton ordered the barge to not be attacked and sure enough, it contained just what the German said it did.

One wonders, given Hitler's insane obsession with Russia, why he never used gas in his vast eastward invasion, especially to subdue Leningrad, Moscow and Stalingrad, Russian cities whose stout defense blunted Barbarossa. He would have had the wind at his back.

Modern pesticides were derived from German nerve gas.
