They did it throughout the war and not merely at the start? So weird that there’s photographic and video evidence of people being gassed in buildings then.
Edit - Here’s evidence that the Germans used chambers (often called “showers”) from 1941 onwards:
While I’m sure vans were still used for their mobility/convenience and in cases where not many people were to be executed, Germany created extermination camps specifically to kill people (in more ways than just gassing) and those locations contained constructed buildings meant for execution with gas, not vans.
Even a few concentration camps had their own gas chambers, which were not vans, that were used to execute people that could no longer do forced labour.
I think they were using vans or buses, not filling buildings with carbon monoxide. Smaller spaces.
Maybe? I know for sure they were doing piping into a building early on.
That doesn’t seem very efficient if you want to gas dozens of people at once, which happened many times.
And yet, they still did it
