"What luck for rulers that men do not think." -Adolf Hitler
Killing Methods
Gas Chambers
Prisoners who seemed too weak for work were sent to the gas chambers. To prevent panic, the Nazis told the prisoners they were going to take a shower, and the Nazis disguised shower heads are gassing machines. They were gassed with Zyklon-B pellets, a poisonous gas made from hydrogen cyanide crystals, originally made for eliminating pests or insects.
Hell Vans
The Nazis led Jews through the basement corridor , and then up a ramp into small windowless room that was actually a cargo area of a large van. Once the van was full, the doors were slammed shut, and driven to a nearby forest. Exhaust fumes were spread to the back, and trapping the victims. Once the van had reached its destination, the bodies were buried or burned.
Firing Squads
The Nazis would strap the victim to a chair, five sharpshooters aim at the victim's heart, and all five pull the trigger. It was not unheard of for all of the shooters to shoot the victim but not kill him, so a sixth shooter would have to participate and put the victim out of his misery. Death by Firing Squads is known as a Soldier's death not a criminal's death
