Great info Harold. I was going from the information from Ewillys. The smoke generator makes more sense, although I have not heard of that. Thank you for the info!

Even in the 1940s, the soldiers would have been wearing protective clothing and gas masks if it had been chemical weapons.
Dugway Proving Ground still tests smoke generators. Smoke is used to hide troop movement and assets from enemy view.
