In our previous post, we mentioned that Miller’s memo was found in a folder of emergency procedures. We didn’t appreciate immediately how fascinating those procedures were. They were put together in 1942 and they describe the types of gas attacks Americans were expecting and preparing for during the Second World War. Sometimes these administrative documents serve as an unexpected snapshot in time.
