I mean, chemical warfare wasn't even his idea, the Entente Powers were doing it before Germany did. And you're deluding yourself if you think it's any less horrible to be blown up by a conventional artillery shell and NOT immediately die. At the end of the day, I think he saved a hell of a lot more lives than he took. And the fact he was openly pro-democracy and antifascist has gotta mean something too, even if it didn't amount to much.

He intended to shorten the war (which already was a stalemate at this point) with chemical weapons, so it's hard to say his intentions were evil. The fact that these weapons were not as effective in practice as expected, is more because of the difficulties of exploiting a breakthrough correctly. The fact that chemical weapons only made the war more cruel, was not by design. On the other hand, half of us probably would not exist if it wasn't for ammonium synthesis.

I studied chemical engineering in college and to me, well Fritz Haber is still a benefactor because, beyond his work on nitrogen gas and ammoniac stand the work on gas reaction, allowing as of today people to eat to their fill (still, the hydrogen production could be improved but that's not today topic) and also to open things like, like cleaning coal (to an extend) and waste burning plants of ashes and dangerous materials (it is a gas-solid reaction, just like the Haber-Bosch process). Also another fact about chemical warfare, phosgene which was a gas developed by the allies is still used as of today to produce plastics (there even was a phosgene leak in a factory were the workers suffered the same symptoms as the one Indy described about the first chlorine gas attack, luckily the plant was shut before the accident) And one last thing, Fritz Haber supervised in his institue the project for a new pesticide for fumigation, called and the name brings even more shiver than chlorine gas, Zyklon A.

i think that one's inventions should cast a light on person not the usage of these inventions. yeah sure Haber had done a lot for a chemistry and all we still benefit from his inventions. his actions in that conflict should not be judged from our perspective in full. i think that one can be both

@@patrykjaros3631 I think too, but the usefulness of all his reactions clearly outweights the one that killed many people

A great explanation and thought process to look at it, he's indeed a perfect example of the duality of what Mankind as a whole is capable of, and how close the balance is between a positive thing and negative outcome,

I am a german chemist myself and you put it quite well.

As human being we have the power to do both good and evil. Both proclivities live within us. And another thing is we are autonomous individuals, how will we carry ourselves forward in the world? Knowing Good and Evil.

brilliantly said. over in the songs page there's people debating his work, but I think you give the best answer here.

Many useful tools can indeed be used as weapons. It is just how it is.

If it’s new content, sure. But 5 of the songs are already on previous albums.

@@SunRayz3r I don't mind that too much. Fits the theme in this case I think. The problem I'd have is that all the other songs on the EP are recent releases. I understand they work around a theme, or concept, but a couple older songs would've been nice in this case I think.

He said that phosgene is mustard gas, which is false

@@wat8437 He's saying "phosgene and Yperite, which is also known as mustard gas" at 09:15. The (French) name Yperite (as many readers would likely guess) refers to the battle of Ypres, where mustard gas was used for the first time.

My great grandfather only had 1 quarter of his lung functioning after serving in Burma ww2. not chemical warfare I know but its insane how much the human body can technically endure before becoming totally dysfunctional.

Compulsory education has a way of making even the most fascinating subjects seem boring. It's possible your country has interesting history (eg Inca Empire, one of the only civilizations in the Americas? Wars of the 19th century explaining modern borders?) but school ruined the experience for you. Many people find out later in life they like something they hated in school (history, science, literature, etc.) Maybe it's the same for your situation

@@HispanusCandor perhaps, good insight :)

Wena po ctm

IMHO having some boring periods in history ( wich is a bit of oxymoron, history is never boring, tho it can be uneventfull ) is not nesccsary a bad thing. My own country history is so full of pain and misery, I would really love to see some "less intensive" times :) .

Martina , me rehuso a creer que tuviste un profesor de Historia tan penca

I agree, this snippet giving me serious Final Solution vibes!

the thing about Urine protecting slightly from Chlorine is that first, part of the ammonia will react with the water to make Hydrochloric acid, and also the fact that since Urine has so much ammonia, Urea and other *Nitrogen* containing molecules, the chlorine will bind with the nitrogen to form chloramines, which, while still toxic, are not as toxic as Chlorine.

@@michaelpettersson4919 absolutely. I became a history buff because of Sabaton.

I know exactly what you mean. It has that dark, almost ‘sinister’ feel that just perfectly fits the subject. That’s one of the things I really love about Sabaton that probably doesn’t get enough appreciation- their ability to combine music with lyrics/topic in a way that really captures the ‘mood’ of whatever story they’re telling. Whether it’s the sheer epicness of ‘Carolus Rex’ and ‘The Last Stand’, or the kind of brooding, introspection of ‘The Price of a Mile’ and ‘The End of the War to End All Wars’- or the polar opposite, the weirdly upbeat, lighthearted ‘Red Baron’, which every time I hear that joint and Joakim starts wailing on that piano/keyboard/organ(?) thing, I can’t help but start snapping my fingers like “aww yeaah, there it is” (don’t judge me. Lol)- or on the flip side, to this day, I will stop whatever I’m doing and join in with Joakim when he recites The Lord’s Prayer- in Swedish, mind you, which I do not speak, but I memorized the entire thing for that express purpose- in ‘The Caroleon’s Prayer’- just the image of the Caroleons singing as they marched straight into enemy fire, never missing a beat- hits me right in the feels every time, man- same for “White Friday, I’ll take the stairway to Heaven; I’m sky high, when I die, I’ll be immortal; Forever, I never, I won’t return to, Blood Mountain- I am the Soldier of Heaven” from, well, ‘Soldier of Heaven’- direct hit to the feels, yo. All the way back to that eerie “Father of toxic gas and chemical warfare...”, and everything in between. They do it all. Whenever you hear Sabaton, there’s always some kind of emotion- the sort of cathartic feeling you get when you watch a great movie- that sense of connection that just draws you in, you know? And the sheer range of emotions they’re able to capture in a single album- sometimes even a single song- is crazy. The whole crew in general, but Joakim especially does an incredible job. Like, listen to the chorus of ‘Father’, then listen to the intro of ‘Christmas Truce’, and realize that’s the same guy, and those were recorded around the same time. One minute, he’s sounding like the narrator of Diablo 4 or something, the next, dude’s on some straight Gospel singer energy throwing his head back and hammering on that piano and carrying on. And both are 100% genuine. That’s bananas. In a good way. But hey, that’s just my opinion. I’d say its a good opinion, though.

It's so wholesome reading things like this 😎 Thank you so much for taking the time and sending your support in such a passionate way!

However, unlike Haber, Oppenheimer showed clear remorse over the destruction the bombs had caused, hence why he quoted: "I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."

"During World War I, the French Army was the first to employ tear gas, using 26 mm grenades filled with ethyl bromoacetate in August 1914. The small quantities of gas delivered, roughly 19 cm3 (1.2 cu in) per cartridge, were not even detected by the Germans. The stocks were rapidly consumed and by November a new order was placed by the French military. As bromine was scarce among the Entente allies, the active ingredient was changed to chloroacetone" France started this shit, Germans just improved

France started the use of chemical weapons. So why demonized him when they just fought back

@@ravanpee1325 ngl I feel the same way about the whole war, why blame Germany they were only defending their ally, and Austria Hungary wanted revenge for their assassinated archduke. If anything ww1 is on the Serbians for killing the heir to the throne of Austria.

A quote I've come across a few times really explains these sort of scientists. A statement that must be by its components, from the Middle ages or a similar time. The statement reads bother not the lion with her Cubs, the Bear in its den or the librarian among his books. For you all those kings and armies, to him are nothing but lines on a page. Science in general follows this rule. Things that would never even be considered in peacetime will triple or quadruple very very quickly once War has been declared. Even the Cold War saw a certain amount of this, compare the space race to the modern return to the Moon. My greatest fear as we return to war once more is that we have not a chance to predict the weapons and technologies that will rise out of a third world war.

You hit the nail on the head there. Very messy. Very complicated!
