Gas Masks
Gas masks were essential equipment for soldiers and civilians during the war. It’s like they were the must-have fashion accessory of the 1940s. I mean, who wants to be caught without one during a gas attack? It’s estimated that millions of gas masks were produced during the war to protect people.
But let’s be real; no matter how cool they looked, they were not comfortable to wear. I mean, imagine trying to eat a sandwich with that thing on your face. It’s like trying to eat with a snorkel on. So, hats off to the gas masks for keeping people safe and giving them the ultimate bad hair day!
