Can anyone provide a citation for this? I think it may well be the first instance that I have ever heard of chemical weaopns being used on the battlefield during WWII, although I'm hardly much of a historian. Badgerpatrol 13:21, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
It wouldn't be the first time that WP or some other standard smoke round was mistaken for chemical weapons in WWII. I suspect if you did fill a small confined space (like these catacombs) it would cut the oxygen in the air, creating the impression of being gassed. - Anon
We've been introduced to 'Colonel P.M. Yagunov', but who was 'Povazhniy'? He pops up as the commander of the Small Catacombs but other than that I'm not sure. I belatedly saw his initials (M.G.) [I'd already pressed 'save'] in the info box, but was he a member of the Red Army, (if so what rank), a partisan or what?

I commented out the article per per WP:V -- uncited from 2013. It was also full of POV language and badly written, such as section heading "Pre-history" (?). The article needs to be rewritten. K.e.coffman ( talk) 01:29, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
