Of the 300,000 t of chemical munitions manufactured in Germany up to 1945, about 40,000 t were dumped in the Baltic Sea by order of the Allies. The IMS (Internet Map Service) indicates the locations of dumped warfare agents and shows the transport routes (former save water way) to the dumping areas. Numerous witnesses reported that chemical munitions where already dumped while ships where en route. The information in this IMS is based on a report by a Federal/Länder Government Working Group "Chemical Munitions in the Baltic Sea" published by the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency in 1993. The report is out of print.
