Kampfstofferkrankte: Gelbe Ecke card

[bittaker]

issued for a girl between 12-14 years old, apparently killed by mustard gassing 13.02.1945. "ausfüllung in der rettungsstelle" i assume means that the observation was done where they found her and not in a hospital/morgue?
kinda sad : /

The aid station entries are for a killed unidentified female person ca. 12 - 14 years of age found at the Potsdamer Platz at 0930 hrs. on 13 Feb. 1945 following an air raid. Injuries are listed as severe 3rd degree burns / mustard gas effects.

However, there is a problem here: Mustard gas was manufactured and stockpiled, but not used by the Allies in WW2.

I strongly doubt this relates to an actual person. Perhaps the entries were made during a training excercise or simply post-war.
