Why was there no gas used in World War 2?

Poison gas is really not a very good weapon of warfare, because although it can be very deadly, it is not very accurate; it goes wherever the wind blows it.

This use did not include the massive use of poison gas to kill the Handicapped and then the Jewish people in WWII by the Nazi's (German's)
