Personal Synopsis

Chemical warfare has long been a fear of many government and this story shows a wonderful example of hows these weapons can be made and distributed. This is a good episode with some wonderful fake german accents to emphasize the cold war fears of the time. I particularly like the philosophy of the scientists reasoning for the creation of such a horrible bacterial. The death scene of the scientist is frightfully wonderful.
