Ok, I'll bite. Gas attacks. Used extensively during WWI. Not used
during WWII. Perhaps because both sides decided it would be a bad
idea. There was some expectation of its use, but as time went on,
troops discarded or at least stopped keeping their masks in a ready
location.
This is perhaps the one sane thing that Hitler did decide about.
