I was watching something on tv awhile ago and of course forgot what it was, or what it was about, but I do remember one thing that peaked my interest:

It was a story about a WWI castle, in France I think, that the Germans took over. They launched some chemical shells from inside at attacking allied forces, but the wind picked up and carried the chemicals into the castle killing most of the Germans inside.

Was this a true story, or just fictional?
