Why wasn’t gas used in combat during the Second World War?

by [deleted]

I know that Italy used gas against Abyssinia before WWII, but I haven’t heard of gas being used in combat during WWII. If Hitler had no problem using gas on civilians during the Holocaust, why didn’t he use it in combat? Also, German was developing nuclear weapons, I find it hard to understand why they wouldn’t implement other WMDs.
