Also the fact it was a pesticide that developed into a nerve agent is crazy scary

The fact that probably one of the most powerful chemical warfare weapons was named “tabun” is pretty amusing. Obviously the Germans probably meant in reference to the word “taboo”, but that’s the Japanese word for “maybe” and it just sounds so indecisive.

Also, it’s ridiculously crazy to break the sound barrier in a wind tunnel.

“Humans and machines parts went into the tunnels, rockets and corpses came out.”

I think it’s interesting that no matter from which vantage point you explore from—WWII is significantly more tragic than initially anticipated.

I feel like I’m learning but also my brain is too mush to retain any of it.

The moral dilemma is an interesting conundrum nonetheless.
