they wanted to use the one without the warning smell so they could kill unsuspecting jews.

and other bacteria

Mmmmmmm not exactly

as we were talking before of mustard gas

So what is the purpose of buying it without the warning agent?

there could have been uses such as - weaponize it

against the soviets

chemical warfare was illegal.

and so was raping women POW

but soviets didn't care

Geneva convention was in place at this point. Hitler wouldn't dare use it against the soviets

so, why should they?

Because once you use chemicals

The enemy uses them back

zyklon b takes 20 minutes to kill someone and lasts for a couple of hours, would they have used mass amounts of it to kill the soviets?

It was as close to MAD as you could get pre cold war

More as an infiltration item

They had some contacts from russians

that were against Stalin for a number of reasons

but that's my assumption

also, there were no documents proving that

they learned not to use chemical weapons in ww1 the hard way why do you think they were never used in ww2

there were weaponizing Zykon B again

or if it were, the soviets had it

and never released them, they moved idk how many documents from Vienna

when they invaded it

its hard to make a generalization like that, it would be more predictable that they got zyklon B without the warning agent to use on the millions of jews they held captive.

so, if you ask me, the logical assumption was to use it for the lice

remember, it also affected officers

I don't think lice could detect the warning smell of a gas.

and if you are in a war, you need to really take care of your officers

even if they could what then? do they jump off? isnt that the goal?

I am not sure about that, since that kind of tests are illegal so we cannot know for sure

We can't add lice with typhus to dogs

or rats

or other animals and test Zykkon B

Well what is certain is heinrich's leaks were factual

with agent and without want

to actually know if that is how lice react to it

No proof to contrary.

But the warning agent was used so that the officers could smell it in case it began to leak from the container.
