Nerve agent: Difference between revisions

Contrary to popular belief, German military forces never utilized these chemical munitions during the war. In the days leading up to the end of WW2 the Allies discovered the stockpiles, destroyed many of the factories that developed the nerve agents, seized the remaining agents, and began to develop and experiment upon their own nerve chemicals.<ref>[http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/usa/doctrine/army/mmcch/NervAgnt.htm Nerve Agents]. ''Fas.org''. Web. Accessed 20 May 2013. Unknown Author.</ref> After the discovery of such toxic chemicals, much investigation was poured into transforming the nerve agents into increasingly deadly forms. During this time period, chemists primarily from Britain and the United States researched the chemical makeup and the effects of the nerve agents, as well as a means of protection against the weapon. This research aided in the discovery of new types of nerve agents in the 1950's. These new agents, termed "V-agents" by North American chemists, proved to be much more stable and poisonous than the proceeding chemicals. To this day, those agents discovered in the 1950's are some of the most noxious substances ever created by mankind.
