Killing Methods
Gassing Trucks
On of the killing methods was using mobile gassing trucks. It happened as follows: the Jews were forced into a hermetically sealed truck, and then exhaust gas from the engine was led into the truck. The Jews were thus suffocated. The method was first used in the Soviet Union by the four Einsatzgruppen, in an effort to make their killing operations more effective (than by using the mass shootings). Also, gassing trucks were introduced in an effort to avoid that the killers became emotionally hit by the murders.
