But it was also the only poison gas incident of World War III'm not sure about that one. I guess it depends on what one means by "World War II". The Italians used gas against Ethiopia, and I think the Japanese used it in China.

I also recall a claim that the Germans used poison gas in a limited manner during the siege of Sevastopol in 1942 - probably to clear underground bunkers. I don't recall any details.
