To exterminate those people that were deemed imperfect. The Nazi view of perfection was blond, blue eyed muscular types and most people in the world are far from that. Also experimentation of chemical warfare and also to inspire fear and terror in those that stood against them. Atrocities is always a good way to frighten people, unfortunatly for the Nazis it also inspired people to stand against them
_________________________________________
The Nazis were opposed to chemical warfare as they did not want to risk harming their own people. It did not frighten or inspire as it did not exist.
They sent millions to the death camps because they wanted to live in a place without those types of people, killing them was the most efficient way of doing this.

∙ 13y agoThe purpose of the extermination camps was to speed up the Holocaust - and also to keep it secret.
Extermination ('death') camps, in the sense of killing centres, were set up from late 1941 onwards in order to implement the Holocaust of the Jews and Romanies/Sinti ('gypsies'). The following are generally listed as extermination camps:
- Auschwitz II (Part of the Birkenau section).
- Belzec (not to be confused with Bergen-Belsen).
- Chelmno.
- Majdanek (part only. This camp seems to have been used as a back-up killing centre when the others were 'overloaded').
- Sobibor.
- Treblinka.
The sole purpose of these camps was to kill.
Maly Trostinets (near Minsk) and Janowska (near Lviv, Lvov, Lemberg) are often listed as extermination camps, too.
___
The sole function of Nazi extermination camps (as opposed to ordinary Nazi concentration camps) was to kill Jews and "gypsies" as soon as practical after arrival - usually within 12-48 hours. (The popular term "death camp" is generally avoided in Holocaust scholarship).
