Nice!. This could actually turn out to be useful information ,who knows. I wonder if they did the same for canned food items. Also, what about other type of non-conventional weapons ? would canned goods and packaged beverages be usable after a chemical or biological attack ?

I would be concerned about the differences in canning materials used then vs. now (for beverages, specifically), since I don't believe aluminum cans were common at the time of the study.
