List of substances with code names "Substance"

The list of substances with the code name “Substance” includes chemical warfare agents , propellants and explosives , which were often referred to with code names during the First and Second World Wars . For this purpose, abbreviations of one or two letters in combination with the word "substance" (for example "C-substance") were used.

The exact meaning often depends on the period in which the term was used and must therefore be interpreted in the respective context.
