My apologies for the quality of the audio recording on this one. It turns out that when I was recording this video I was actually coming down with covid. That goes some way to explain the misreading and, as usual, I have butchered the pronunciation of many terms, some of which are awful words that must be specifically designed to be difficult to say. And again sorry for how long this took, the research and reading were significant and I had a few distractions. But don't worry, I'm already working on the next video so hopefully that shouldn't take too long.
I was wondering where your tiktok videos were! Hope you recover well from covid and appreciate the content you put out. Looking forward to your next video!
No need to apologise for the length between videos, your content is appreciated because it is made with care Thank you for telling us about your grandfather

When I joined the US Army in '84, we were taught all the NBC (Nuclear Bio Chem) doctrine and defense. After getting to the field, you realized NBC meant nobody cared. This was the Cold War but spending hours in, what the US called MOPP (Military Operational Protective posture) 4, was a big pain. Then Desert Shield, and suddenly a massive interest in NBC warfare and defense. When deploying to the AO in '90, the NBC refresher was the most intense, and heard more questions asked ever. It was like people cared now. Scared the daylights out of me, I was just a 23 yr old, hoping for a long life. So we were in Saudi in Jan '91 and the scud alarm went off. We all got into our suits and masks and into the bunker. One of the people in our bunker was panicking and couldn't get his mask on.

The powers that be had us scared and if we saw anything that looked like artillery, it was liquidated. Now it's '03 (Iraqi Freedom), I'm older with a family now. I only worried about the Chem weapons, I could face the rest, but the idea of touching a vehicle and getting a fatal dose of nerve agent scared me and does so today. Chemical weapons are an actual threat and one that always sits in the minds of those who may get hit. Great video, I didn't like the description of the nerve agent actions on the victims (PTSD) but people need to know, persistent nerve agents can kill way after an attack, from just touching a contaminated area. Could be your car, your window, whatever. This is true horror beyond belief.
20+ years out of the service and I still have my CBRN kit ready and updated.... I'd rather deal with nukes. CW frightens me to this day. Thanks for stroking my PTSD there Hypo-not-at-all-hysterical-history. Truth is, we all need to know about this so good on you.
Thanks for talking about your great grandfather. It reminds me a lot of mine, who landed in Normandy, got hurt sometime, and became a ragging alcoholic who beat his wife and kids, not telling anyone much. Everyone knows someone changed by war, and it’s our job to make sure nothing like that happens again.
Your great grandfather, Charles Linden....what a man !!! Survived 3 of the worst slaughterhouse battles of WW1 - Gallipoli with 200,000 British Empire casualties; Passchendaele, 250,000 British casualties; and the Somme, with 425,000 British casualties - including 58,000 in ONE day, July 1, 1916 the 1st day of the Battle of the Somme. If only humanity would apply the time, talent, and treasure they all too frequently and fondly apply to war, destruction and death😞 - to Freedom, Health and Peace 😊
Horrifying and heartbreaking. I haven't finished the video yet - need to take a break to dry my eyes. Astounding work you've done in putting this video together!
I never really understood why chemical weapons were such a taboo in warfare, I knew that it was a really bad weapon and inflicted unnecessary suffering but I though you know war is war you use whatever weapons are at your disposal to win, there are no rules in war. But having watched your video I understand now that's truly horrific. Nuclear weapons are far more humane than gas. To use gas I think you must be truly evil.
Chemical weapons became such a taboo after WW1 due the horrific damages it made to the survivors. Even Hitler saw the horrors of chemical weapons and was against to use of them. Just read this horrifying account of the battle "Attack of the Dead Men", at the Osowiec Fortress, 1915-08-06: "The Germans became panicked by the appearance of the Russians, who were coughing up blood and bits of their own lungs, as the hydrochloric acid formed by the mix of the chlorine gas and the moisture in their lungs had begun to dissolve their flesh."
@@NicholasLaRosa0496 It's not that he didn't want to use chemical weapons against his enemies (he did so gleefully in his concentration camps). It's that he somewhat understood what conflict escalation was. The strategic bombing campaigns of the Battle of Britain showed whatever Germany threw at the Allies, the Allies were more than happy to throw double the amount back. Indiscriminate bombing of civilians seemed to strengthen a nations will to fight. An indiscriminate chemical weapons attack would end nations and make entire areas uninhabitable. Whilst Germany might have had the lead in chemical weapons, The British had biological weapons like Anthrax and were planning on using it (see Operation Vegetarian).
I found this video fascinating and I have the impression it was exhaustively researched. I admire you for not dumning down your videos, and not kow-towing to TH-cam and their fondness for vapid, short format videos. Give the subject matter the time it deserves and requires. Hats off to you.
my trust for your content increased significantly. a lot of times when someone starts talking about things I already know a lot about, I see how untrustworthy they actually are. for my uni biology class I spent days reading about biological mechanisms of chemical weapons and your summaries were perfect.
Hey what happened to your incredible ultimate guide to nuclear weapons? It is the best, most comprehensive documentary I’ve seen? Did they make you take it down ? ( sorta kidding)
Mate.. we both have great granddads who went through that hell. One of mine was with the 9th Bn Devonshire Regt. Thank you for sharing your personal connection with this catastrophy.
Can you do Bioweapons next? WW1 we had Spanish Flue and know clandestine operations by the Germans on allied livestock. WW2 we had the advance R&D of bio weapons such as the plague, anthrax, syphilis and more. "biological threat agents" Cold war we had large-scale biological warfare R&D and weapons production programs. Biological terrorism was used in the 1980s in places like South Asia. In 1990s it was used in Japan. Al-Qaeda operatives have shown an interest in developing and using biological weapons. Anthrax was used just after 9/11. Information on the manufacture of biological weapons has been disseminated widely on the Internet. Bioweapons have the great advantage of plausible deniability.
bioweapons could be truly devastating (i mean look at how the coronavirus pandemic has played out, with no country unaffected, even though it was likely just a random mutation jumping species). The good thing about them at least is they unlikely to ever be used for military use, more likely to be used as a weapon of terrorism as effective bioweapons will rapidly spread across the whole world and cause a man made pandemic. Bioweapons also can evolve on their own so any possible safeguards could be rendered useless by a random mutation and also it goes the other way where it could evolve into something without the capability to spread and thus become pointless. It also is extremely difficult to manufacture an effective bioweapon without being detected, while chemical weapons have much lower barriers of entry.
@@tinto278 diseases jump from animals to humans all the time. Pathogens naturally do not want to kill their hosts, as it drives herd immunity much faster. However animal based pathogens often have unintended outcomes in humans as it is much more likely for something that would be a minor inconvenience for the animal host, will in turn be deadly in a human. That is why these diseases if successful in jumping, often become significantly less dangerous, however may become more resistant/spread more easily etc... I mean the common cold is a great example, it spreads with relative ease among humans, yet causes minor symptoms, while it could have previously related to something as deadly as the black death (something which jumped from rats to humans)
truely terrifying - I remember when I was doing my initial NBC training in the army how horrified I was by them. your video has reminded me of that horror thankyou
Truth. Just adds another layer of fear. Another layer of suck being in MOPP gear. Knowing that everything in your area is now ruined and your drinking water may be poisoned. With the amount of collateral and destruction of all your resource, plus friendly fire, It’s disgusting and every nation leader having used that shit deserves and walk to the gallows for treason, violating international law, and jeopardizing the readiness of their own loyal forces.
Just recently discovered this channel and i've already subscribed and watched every video. I quite enjoy these and they are all very well done. Thank you for the quality entertainment sir!
I just found your you tube channel after following you on TikTok, the contents here is absolutely golden. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insights with us, in such an accessible format.
What an excellent and technically informative documentary presentation on the history, development and historical usage of chemical weapons as well as the political and moral implications of their use. This presentation is comprehensive enough that it should be presented to all military NCO and Officer recruits during their basic training whatever their branch and especially more importantly, all current and aspiring politicians! Great documentary, Cheers!
wanna leave my mark in the comment section before you blow up, nice to witness someone put things into perspective rather than try to use things to fit their bias, and this is coming from watching multiple videos on this channel and tiktok as well. I know this channel is more about educating viewers on certain topics but it would be quite refreshing to get your position and view point on more controversial topics historical or more modern that some other users on this platform make videos about without the full scope or understanding
You're video on the ultimate guide for nuclear weapons is one of my favouroites on the internet as its so well written and presented with knowledge can't wait to watch this one!
Fantastic research as usual, brilliant delivery and great editing on some darkly chilling but interesting, balanced and realistic.

Was it removed by AI crawler or 1st Company Whinge Batallion?
@@vinnybossman well for some reason chemical weapons has always been my least favourite topic. The way I see it. If chemical weapons are being used, everyone is in deep shit and knowing about them isn’t gonna save us.
@@Zei33 what an idiotic take. As he mentioned in the video various antidotes and methods can be developed to mitigate the effects of chemical weapons, this comes from knowledge and research. When is having more knowledge worse then having less.
@@quinndenver4075 are _you_ going to be the one doing the research? Because unless you are, I don’t think you or I knowing the intricacies of them will be much use to anyone. And I highly suspect the kind of people this information is useful to already know everything that’s in this video.
My respect to your great grandfather. 🙏 And you have done an amazing job on this fearful and very misunderstood topic by many people for a long time, including Hollywood!! I have also learned a lot.
Mate your work is top rate. But dam this is nightmare fuel. You breakdown of atomic weapons was a fun romp through partial physics I even watched it twice. This is a once and done. Get well soon. I suspect it it’s biological weapons next.
This video sends shivers down my spine like nothing else. Nuclear weapons are terrifying but Chemical weapons have a wholenother personal feeling to them. Chances are that if you are close enough to witness a Nuclear explosion you would most likely have a quick death but Chemical Weapons either by design or the laws of Nature make you suffer. Either its a testament to the Human body that it tries to fight this horrible weapon in a futile and unwinnable battle.

I gladly anticipate a video on biological weapons. Wonderful work
My respect to your great grandfather. 🙏
And you have done an amazing job on this fearful and very misunderstood topic by many people for a long time, including Hollywood!! I have also learned a lot.
Why? For murdering conscripted German soldiers? Disgusting
I have joined Tik Tok just to get more of this guy's videos. He is brilliant!
Epic! 🤘🤘
If this is just as good as the episode on anti ship missiles this is going to be amazing
This is crazy I've been reading as much as I possibly can about edgewood arsenal in the past two weeks, just finished James Ketchum's book. Uncanny.
Mate your work is top rate. But dam this is nightmare fuel. You breakdown of atomic weapons was a fun romp through partial physics I even watched it twice. This is a once and done.
Get well soon. I suspect it it’s biological weapons next.
Thankyou
This video sends shivers down my spine like nothing else. Nuclear weapons are terrifying but Chemical weapons have a wholenother personal feeling to them. Chances are that if you are close enough to witness a Nuclear explosion you would most likely have a quick death but Chemical Weapons either by design or the laws of Nature make you suffer. Either its a testament to the Human body that it tries to fight this horrible weapon in a futile and unwinnable battle.
How does this only have 10k views???
Also i loved the personal ww1 story in there. My great grandfathers (also austrslians) both got gased too. Both lived from it though, but one did get hospitalised.
Chemical weapons are scary dude. Thanks for educating me about them!
No bio weapons are much more scary.
@@tinto278 have you watched this video?
did they say otherwise? I stg the reading comprehension on youtube is getting worse and worse.@@tinto278
Littered with chemical errors but a good overview for an introduction.
Love the video, miss the TikTok’s though
Godspeed Charles Linden , a warrior , a gentleman and patriot , A Damn Good Man . Thank you for sharing this personal story .
