Hitler believed that the Germans were mad that the Jews and other people that fought in WW1 had let the Germans down, so he decided to make them pay for what the had “done”. Some killing tactics that all concentration camps used were started here. One tactic that was invented in Auschwitz was the gas chambers. Nazi’s used carbon monixide to kill the disabled men, women, and children. Hitler had all disabled people killed because they brought “shame” to Germany. But carbon monoxide was hard to move to other concentration camps, so to impervise, the Nazi’s used car exhase. Another method of killing the prisoners was using bug repellent. A company that was making bug repellent was informend that Hitler and the Nazi’s needed 400,000 tons of bug repellent to dump into the basement of one of the Auschwitz bunkers. Unfortunally, for the Nazi’s that wasn’t enough. So they upgraded the dosage to 800,000 tons, which knocked out 10,000 people. Another tactic that was developed in Auschwitz was bombing people. The executor that was killing the slaves would throw a bomb at them, and when the bomb blew up, the body parts of the victims flew everywhere. Even into the highest tree
