The British had made plans to use mustard gas if the Germans invaded Britain in 1940. I was wondering a couple of things:
How did the British plan to deliver the gas? 25-pounder shells? Aerial spraying?
Also, at what point would the British have started using the mustard gas? Germans reaching certain towns? Failure of army counter-attacks? German capture of a large port?
I’ve searched but can’t find any detailed information on British planning for this eventuality. I was wondering if anybody here knows.
