Gas School Young men had to prove their self-worth as well as their physical endurance before they were allowed to head into the trenches of war. A photograph published in 1917 showed a young man wearing a gas mask and standing by a door marked with the symbol for deadly poison. It was the entrance to what was referred to as the “gas school” or “gas house.”Each young man had to enter the poisonous building to show that he could endure the possibility of a gas attack. If one of the soldiers showed that he could not withstand being shut in the poison house, he was given another job, other than fighting, within the military.

In 1917, it was just a tiny blip in an American newspaper that told how Pope Benedict was absolutely horrified after learning that the Germans were rendering the bodies of dead soldiers for soap and fertilizer. However, this was not the first time that this story circulated and it certainly was not the last.While “fake news” appears to be quite the catchphrase these days, outright lies published as news were referred to as government-sponsored propaganda back in World War I—and there was plenty of propaganda to go around.The “German corpse factory” was one of the biggest published lies that refused to disappear, and each new story published about these corpse factories was worse than the last.According to vicious rumors, German workers would strip the bodies of dead soldiers and bundle the bodies into threes, wrapped with wire. These bodies were then loaded onto trains and taken to the “cadaver” building where the fats were rendered from the bodies for margarine and soap. The leftover meat and bones were made into feed for farm animals and ground into fertilizer.No part of the propaganda was true. Germans were rendering the bodies of dead horses that were loaded onto trains and shipped to the factories, but they did not render any soldiers in any of their factories.Elizabeth, a former Pennsylvania native, recently moved to the beautiful state of Massachusetts where she is currently involved in researching early American history.
