Best Answer

At Belzec, Chelmno, Sobibor and Treblinka - carbon monoxide.

Hydrocyanic acid in a Zyklon B base - Auschwitz and Majdanek.

All other camps used carbon monoxide.

Zyklon-B, a cyanide compound developed for the purpose of inexpensively delousing clothes. It came in cans in the form of pellets. When the pellets came into contact with air, heat and water they gave off hydrogen cyanide gas. The designers of Zyklon-B had never anticipated its use on people.

Several different gases were used in the various camps. Initially, it was simply carbon monoxide from an engine exhaust. Later, the most common one used was a commercial pesticide, Zyklon-B, of which the primary ingredient was hydrogen cyanide.
Deadly, poisonous gases.

The Nazi soldiers used a gas called Zyklon-B in the gas chambers. This gas it paralyzes the respiration of every individual cell in the body. Oxygen can no longer be transported from the blood through the cell walls into the cells. As the vital cell functions are thereby starved of oxygen, the animal or human being suffocates.

well they dont actually use a sepific type of gas for the gas chambers. they put acid then put cyanide in the gas chamber. this will create a chemical reaction and hydrogen cyanide gas is made,

which slowly kills the victim in the gas chamber.
