I may be incorrect, but I believe it was called Zyklon B, a very lethal nerve gas.
Of course, I may be wrong.
Zyklon B was the most well known gas used for the Holocaust. However, most Jews were executed with carbon monoxide poisoning from truck exhaust because the Nazis had supply problems with Zyklon B.
___
The poison was hydrogen cyanide. Zyklon B was the base.

∙ 11y agoZyklon B (German pronunciation: [tsykloːn ˈbeː]; also spelled Cyclon B or Cyclone B) was the trade name of a cyanide-based pesticide infamous for its use by Nazi Germany to kill human beings in gas chambers of extermination camps during the Holocaust. Zyklon B consisted of hydrogen cyanide (prussic acid), a stabilizer, a warning odorant ethyl bromoacetate, and one of several adsorbents. The Zyklon B used for mass killings of humans regularly omitted the warning odorant.
Zyklon A was a previously produced liquid pesticide, which released hydrogen cyanide in a chemical reaction with water. After the invention of Zyklon B, its production was stopped.
Empty poison gas canisters, found by the Allies at the end of World War II
