Type 93 Gas Mask
Japan was the only nation in the Second World War to employ biochemical warfare as part of its official military doctrine. This resulted in a visually extraordinary combat environment unique to the Sino-Japanese theatre, unexampled in its almost comically nightmarish aesthetic. Ghoulish platoons of masked infantry roamed the urban rubble, their modern hardware juxtaposed alongside katanas. Melee engagements were pursued by the characteristic élan of the Imperial forces emerging from the toxic mist.
Japanese chemical weapons were administered to devastating effect against the Chinese, who were unprepared for biochemical warfare and lacked any form of protective gear against it. Alongside conventional gas attacks in offensive operations, Chinese cities were bombed with experimental bacteriological weaponry. Canisters containing fleas contaminated with the bubonic plague were released by Japanese bombers over Chinese cities, leading to several widespread epidemics.
