Re: Attack on shipping in Bari harbour on 12th December 1943
Guys
Just out of curiosity, why were the Allies offloading bombs (grenades?) with mustard gas in Bari? The Germans had not used gas in warfare since WW 1 and as far as I know did not intend to use any. Also bombs suggest there was an intention to use it through aeroplanes, or do the web sites mean artillery grenades? Why Italy? Surely the Allies did not intend to use it in THAT country, did they? Why mustard gas? Of all C-gases it is the least effective. Was it the only one the Allies had available. All very puzzling....  Cheers Stig
