Bio weapons never appeared til the 50s-60s.
Chemical weapons, they did use.
Gas chambers, remember?
the japanese had bio weapons... they were going to use them on the u.s.
they had a lab in japan cooking up a more potent strain of the black plague, and they were going to release it using fleas.
why didnt they?

so killing 20 million soviet civilians and 6 million jews and 6 million non jews in the camps wasnt unsporting?

by the way why didnt soviets use it? They obviously had obligations to follow the geneva convencion since they didnt sign it and they broke international rules anyway with stuff like the katyn massacre.
I would say that Hitler felt he was fighting worthy opponants but those he killed in concentrations camps were sub-human.

Hitler hated Jewish science. As we all know, Einstein laid out the framework for the design of the nuclear bomb. Obiously Hitler would never listen to him, since he was a jew.

What is mustard gas?
A potentially deadly chemical agent that attacks the skin and eyes—and one of the best known and most potent chemical weapons. Mustard gas causes severe blisters and, if inhaled,

can also damage the lungs and other organs. It is usually disabling—sometimes gruesomely so—but not fatal. Unlike the symptoms of exposure to other chemical agents which usually appear immediately, the symptoms of exposure to mustard gas appear one to six hours or more later. This makes mustard gas especially insidious, since victims can suffer tissue damage before they even realize they need treatment. Mustard gas also attacks a cell’s DNA, so it can cause cancer and birth defects.

Beside jews those in concentration camps were primary slavs. The 20 million soviet civilians his troops killed were primary slavs. the greatest war of all time that he raged with Stalin was with slavs and what destroyed him were slavs, so I see no reason he wouldnt use it against slavs.

Both sides had huge stockpiles, and both knew this of each other. If one side would start using it, so would the other, and that was what they were trying to avoid.

Ideology has little to do with it.
