VW gassed monkeys and cheated us

Holocaust survivor Walter Peltz “hated Volkswagens, because that’s the company that made the gas chambers.”

 

At first, the murders were carried out in fixed, sealed chambers, into which carbon monoxide gas was pumped from metal canisters. In addition, some were killed by lethal injections and by shooting. Gas vans were first used in 1940, when Polish mentally ill children were locked in a sealed van and killed by carbon monoxide.

Prior to gassing, the victims were ordered to hand over all of their valuables. They then had to undress themselves and finally entered the gas vans. The two doors at the back of the wagons were closed, the tube then locked to the exhaust. To calm down the naked victims a lamp was switched on for some minutes. The driver then started the motor, which ran in neutral gear for about ten minutes. During this time the motor produced enough carbon monoxide to suffocate the victims. As they were so crowded together there was lack of air anyway. When the screaming and pounding had stopped, the driver started the drive to the cremation site. There, Jewish men who would not be permitted to remain alive, were forced to unload the corpses and cremate them.

Th gas vans were more like suffocation vans. It was a bit of a fail.

Well Walter Peltz hated the wrong company. Volkswagen produced their first van after ww2. ww2 military vehicles were beetle derived, non 4x4, all terrain (Kübel) and amphibious (Schwimmwagen) vehicles. The only pictures I could find of the death van was from a, most likely confiscated, modified Deutz removal van.

 

They benefitedfrom slave labour, though.
