Yes we get it, it was a savage war and the rules that apply to warfare didn't apply back then. Both sides executed prisoners civillians on both sides suffered as happens in every war.
Its important to note the distinctive use of the word poison gas. While its true that the French were considered to be the first to use poison gas during WW1, their weapon of choice was tear gas or minor irritants. The German's were the first to use poison gas when they deployed chlorine gas on April 22, 1915.
Where was your condemnation of them when you were hoping that they had won the offensive in 1918?
As they shot prisoners, as they starved civillians and opened up the pandora's box truly hideous poison gasses such as Chlorine, Mustard Gas and Phosgene?
