Summary It is a widely held belief that chemical weapons and chemical warfare were significant in the First World War, but not the Second World War. The actual history is much more complex. Chemical weapons were used between the Second World War in a number of ways that most people don't really consider. Joining us to discuss this is Dan Kaszeta. Dan has decades of experience in protecting against chemical and biological weapons, and has held positions in the US Army, the White House Military Office, the US Secret Service and private industry. Dan will address the Japanese use of chemical weapons on the Chinese front - a campaign that resulted in more deaths than to mustard gas in the First World War. He will also explain the development of nerve agents by the Nazis and what happened to the stock piles of such dangerous toxins at the end of the conflict.
