Nova 6 from Black Ops

Anyone know if Nova 6, the super evil Nazi chemical weapon from Black Ops, is based on a real world chemical weapon?
I like how ingrained the game was in actual Cold War events but the idea of a secret Nazi outpost in the Arctic or an unused chemical weapon by said Wacky Nazis is curious.

Look up the work of Gerhard Schrader for details. I think you'll find some nerve gases on his resume that are, unfortunately, household names.
EDIT: In fact, if you look up anything about "Nazi" or "World War II" and "secret weapons", you'll find that a nerve gas is probably the most PLAUSIBLE thing that you'll get from the hits. Supposedly, the Japanese scrapped the development of a ranged microwave weapon, because of range issues, for example.
EDIT 2: "Nova 6" is likely a bastardization of Novichok agent, developed by the Russians.
