Blitzkrieg is the theory of conduct of war, developed by Germans in World War II. Blitzkrieg is when a group is aimed to complete

victory in as short amount of time as possible. This method is measured in days and weeks not months and years. Blitzkrieg was first used in Poland in 1939. It means to cause physiological shock

and disorientation. Blitzkrieg was evolved by German General Heinz Guderian. He took most ideas from writings of military

theorists Basil Henry Liddell Hurt and John Fredric Charles Fuller. Blitzkrieg was used in Poland, France, Denmark, Norway,

Yugoslavia and Greece.

Zyklon B is a Highly poisonous Cyanic gas used in the Euthanasia Program. The chemical was used mostly in the Auschwitz concentration camp. Zyklon

B was delivered in pellet (crystalline) form in big air tight tin canisters to the concentration camps. If the canister wasn’t air tight the gas could leak

out and once exposed to the air it was immediately lethal. Zyklon B was used to mass kill many Jews or victims chosen to die in death camps. The

victims were packed into big gas chambers after being told they were getting a shower. But instead the lethal Zyklon B would be poured into the concrete bunker. Once the chemical hit the ground the pellet would break and the gas released. The victims would then inhale the gas and die within

minutes. The gasses first reported use was on September 3, 1941 to kill prisoners of war.
