In 1944, Japan was supposed to have launched a sub with bio-weapons ( Plague carrying fleas basically) toward Saipan but it got sunk en route. The Sub was carrying an assault team who would have deployed the plague fleas around U.S airfields on the island if all had went as planned.
What effect would this have on the War? Would the U.S respond with its own bio/chemical weapons if casualties had been high enough? Thoughts?
