Best Answer

The Nazis built extermination vans to transport Jews to concentration camps. They had poorly-tuned gasoline engines and an exhaust system that could route smoke into the passenger compartment. (The driver sat in an open-air cockpit.) They would fill the van with Jews, start driving a long route to the camp, and open a valve to release smoke into the passengers. They soon realized this worked but would never be able to kill enough people.
