What did the nazi guards pretend the gas chambers were?

The gas chambers were dressed up to look like showers. This served many purposes: it meant that the victims would undress themselves. The first gassings took place with the victims fully clothed and it was found that it was harder and time consuming to undress the corpses, as the workers had to search for hidden valuables. The Jews were also told that they had to wash and be de-loused after their journeys to the camps, before they could join the general population (this was what actually happened to those who did join the general population). This made the victims more compliant and the illusion of normality and changing rooms and showers helped keep many calm. The drainage of the shower rooms also helped with the cleaning of the gas chambers after it had been cleared of victims.
