If a heavy chemical weapons defense(area denial) was used to kill the troops as a last resort by the Germans, would it have a twist in the War outcome?
The Morgenthau plan looks like child's play compared to what is done to the shattered remains of Germany and its glow-in-the dark cities.
The Germans used chemical weapons in WWI and the Allies didn't lay waste to them after the war. The Japanese did the same during WWII, yet the allies didn't engaging in mass murder just to satiate some revenge driven bloodlust. Everyone on this board needs to step back from the doomsday fantasies and look at things in a more realistic fashion.
In WWI the Entente retaliated with chemical weapons after the Germans used them, and in WWII the Japanese only used them against the Chinese, who had no stocks of their own.
Your examples betray you
True. But the Entente didn't march into either of those countreis and literally strip it of all industry, use biological/chemical weapons to kill millions of civilians, or procede to iniate a mass starvation program after victory.
You seem to be forgetting that bloody Winston was PM.True. But the Entente didn't march into either of those countreis and literally strip it of all industry, use biological/chemical weapons to kill millions of civilians, or procede to iniate a mass starvation program after victory.
No, but then the Entente hadn't suffered through a mass bombing campaign in London in WWI either. The rules of war had changed somewhat. I could see a chemical bombing of Berlin Happening in response to a Chemical attack at Normandy.

its far more likely they'd use them against the soviets than Britain and the United States. but even that is unlikely
I'm not sure the Allies would jump straight to obliterating cities in mustard gas,
nor would the Germans for that matter.
