Ah yes, one of the rare Pvt Snafu cartoons where Snafu DOESN'T die horribly at the end.

I like to think they wanted to convey that not even Pvt Snafu deserved to be gassed no matter how incompetent he is otherwise

Nor does he get his entire unit wiped out.

Whence did the word “snafu” arise?
New mown hay = Phosgene. Apple blossoms = Chloracetophenone Fly paper = Chlorpicrin. He made them all sound so nice and peaceful...

Thanks for explaining, I got the reference to fly paper but not the mown hay and the apple blossoms.
Snafu is looking like a double-wide surprise.
THAT'S A TYPE OF GAS MASK I WANT
@ 3:23 they used actual smells of three chemical weapons. Freshly mowed hay: PHOSGENE apple blossom: CN TEAR GAS fly paper: CHLOROPICRIN

@@Octopetala well it was wartime educational aimed at the front lines so they had to be factual
What’s up doc ?!
Relevant in 1944 and for a whole new reason, even more relevant than before in 2020.
In every army, there's always a Pvt. SNAFU and Pvt. McGuiliguddy.

McGillicudy was in the Marine Corps. Though I hear tell he goes by Lance Corporal Schmuckatelli these days.
Wow. Now I know where Ghostbusters comes from.
This cartoon was on Toon in with me today.
Some things never change. :-)

That's a good thing, not a bad thing. Hindsight is also 20/20. No way to know the axis wouldn't try it out of desperation.

Irrelevant in WW2? The WW2 where the nazis used Mustard GAS and killed people in *GAS* Chambers? That WW2?

Even if chemical weapons weren't nearly as present in combat (besides Sino-Japanese war and Eastern Front), there was a real threat of any side of the conflict, using their stockiple of biological and chemical weapons. Then there was the sinking of SS John Harvey, which was carrying mustard gas.

This was very relevant in WWII and it still is today. We still have gas drills. We had to make sure our masks were serviceable and functional before we went into Iraq and/or Afghanistan and we had gas drills there too.

But it's shown to soliders so that they can be better prepared incase of actual chemical warfare My dad has to do gas mask drills a few times a year in the airforce
