The Horrifying Reality of a WWII Baby Gas Mask

It is British, it is World War II. It's dated '39. By 1939,

they had already made over nine million civilian gas masks in Britain. They were trying

to make gas masks for every man, woman, and child on the island.

1939, World War II started. All sides knew that they had gas. They had used it

in World War I, and this was the great horror weapon that they were worried about having used

again. There were treaties in place that said, no, we won't do this,

but you didn't know for sure so you had to plan for it. A place like Britain,

you're on an island. It's not going to get off the island and you can kill everybody there.
