I'm not arguing priority,
but method and expediency.
1:01:04
I'm sorry, why can't you shoot them?
1:01:07
Didn't you hear him? It is the worst thing
for our soldiers to be doing.
1:01:11
They are women and children,
and soldiers have a sense of honor.
1:01:14
Plenty of honor in following orders.
1:01:15
- Would you like to volunteer?
- Enthusiastically.
1:01:18
- I will.
- You will not.
1:01:20
Eleven million, even half that,
executed in small batches...
1:01:23
...would be asinine,
for the reasons Dr. Meyer mentioned.
1:01:26
Inefficient use of time, troops,
equipment, bullets. No.
1:01:29
As Maj. Lange will learn,
using gas is much cheaper and less public.
1:01:34
Please.
1:01:37
The T4 euthanasia program
has used injections...
1:01:40
...but most effectively...
1:01:42
...a carbon-monoxide gas.
1:01:45
We began using it on Polish mental
patients in Brandenburg in January, 1940.
1:01:50
An area is constructed
that resembles a shower room or a bath.
1:01:55
The subjects are brought in naked,
as though for a shower...
1:01:59
...and outside, stainless-steel tanks
pump in pure carbon monoxide...
1:02:03
...which, what it does is...
1:02:08
I have figures.
1:02:14
In May, this program was extended
to Hartheim and in June at Sonnenstein.
1:02:18
In the first six months of 1940,
8,765 persons were gassed.
1:02:23
By the end of 1940, a total of 26,459.
1:02:27
By the end of August last year,
another 35,049.
1:02:29
We terminated this particular program,
however, on September 1.
1:02:33
In the end,
70,273 have been gassed by this method.
1:02:37
At this time,
we began the advanced program.
1:02:41
- The General Government knew nothing...
- Keep going.
1:02:45
Last summer, we ordered the construction
of 20 mobile gassing trucks...
1:02:49
...using their redirected exhaust
back into the chamber.
1:02:52
Three such trucks have been in use
since last month.
1:02:54
- But the Chelmno camp, now Kulmhof...
- Already constructed, under our noses.
1:02:59
In each truck,
you can get in 40 to 60 Jews at a time.
