Answer
Fritz Haber, a German chemist, proposed using chlorine gas to break the trench deadlock during the second battle of Ypres. Chlorine gas is a poisonous gas that is heavier than air, so it would sink into the trenches and kill the soldiers who were hiding there. Haber's proposal was initially rejected by the German military, but it was eventually adopted and used with great success.
