| - In German, Stoff means roughly the same thing as English "material", and like the ubiquitous English noun "stuff" derives ultimately from the Old French word estoffe (meaning cloth or material). Stoff has as broad a range of meanings, ranging from "chemical substance" to "cloth", depending on the context. It was used in chemical code names in both World War I and World War II. Some code names were reused between the wars and had different meanings at different times; for example, T-Stoff meant a rocket propellant in World War II, but a tear gas (xylyl bromide) in World War I. Currently, this list refers only to the World War II, aerospace meanings.
