Poisonous gas was pumped into the rear compartment, and when the inmates were dead, the bodies were removed and disposed of. Most records of this time have been lost, but it is known that five thousand people were murdered this way, and it is known that the truck was always driven by the same two people, Götz and Meyer.

* [[Black Comedy]]
* [[Everybody's Dead, Dave|Everybody's Dead Dave]]: Out of sixty-seven relatives of the narrator, six are still alive.

* [[Gas Chamber]]
