Nazi's often used gas chambers toward the end of the Holocaust but they also had random killings and brutal beatings, some, mostly babies and young infants were used a human shooting targets. The prisoners would go through "selections" upon arrival and various times throughout being at the camps. In the selections SS officers would pick out those who they thought were fit for hard labor and sent the rest down the road to either a crematorium or a gas chamber or acid showers. Many, on the way to the gas chambers, were told and believed they were just getting showers, though eventually they would realize the true but it would be too late.

∙ 13y agoGassing or shootings were the preferred methods, because they both killed quickly and efficiently. When extermination camps were operating at their pique, a crematorium could've burned as many as 3,000 dead bodies a day.
For shootings, the condemned would be made to line up - sometimes along the edge of a pre-dug pit - and would be shot, usually in the back of the head.
For gassings, prisoners would be herded into chambers they believed were showers. Then, a toxic chemical (a pesticide known as Zyklon-B) would be poured through one way openings in the roof, which would create poisonous fumes as it reacted with air in the chamber. Sometimes these chambers were packed so full that the dead didn't even have room to fall; they simply slumped against each other.

Who came up with gassing the Jews in the concentration camps in World War 2?
In 1941, Nazi Germany decided to kill off all of the Jews in their occupied territories, but it presented a logistical problem in how to kill hundreds of thousands of people quickly and inexpensively. The commandant at the Auschwitz concentration camp, Rudolf Höss, admitted that mass firing squads led to depression and suicide among many of the German soldiers assigned to the details. His deputy, Karl Fritzsch, tested the lice-killing pesticide gas Zyklon-B on some Soviet POWs and found that it killed them quickly. It was mostly hydrogen cyanide and did not persist after being applied. Along with a crematorium to reduce the volume of the bodies, it became the standard killing procedure at some Nazi extermination camps.
