Tons of Nazi Chemical Weapons in Baltic Sea Pose Environmental Threat
(Al-Mayadeen-Lebanon) The Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza reported on Tuesday that 40-100,000 tons of Nazi Germany's chemical weapons left after World War II could be resting at the bottom of the Baltic Sea, ready to trigger an environmental disaster as they corrode over time. The chemical weapons are mainly barrels of mustard gas, aviation bombs, and mines containing chemical warfare agents, mainly mustard and arsenic. Nazi chemical weapons were buried in the Baltic Sea in the first years after World War II by the Trilateral Commission comprised of the U.S., UK, and the Soviet Union.
