and where are the crenulators? the bones and teeth don't burn to powder.
also worth noting there's not a single "survivor" account that mentions the effects of a non-lethal dose of cyanide. cyanide isn't either/or. cyanide doesn't either kill you or let you walk away unscathed. no "survivor" account mentions nausea, dizziness, fainting, or the cognitive impairment a substantial but non-lethal dose would cause.
all of the inmates that handled the bodies would have exhibited the effects of cyanide exposure. and if the guards/facility handled the gas the way the "survivor" accounts claim, there would have been noticeable symptoms and even ancilliary deaths among staff.
Zyklon B (German pronunciation: [tsykloːn ˈbeː]; anglicized /ˈzaɪklɒn ˈbiː/[citation needed] or translated Cyclone B) was the trade name of a cyanide-based pesticide invented in Germany in the early 1920s. It consisted of hydrogen cyanide (prussic acid), a cautionary eye irritant, and one of several adsorbents such as diatomaceous earth. The product is infamous for its use by Nazi Germany during the Holocaust to murder a million people in gas chambers installed at Auschwitz-Birkenau, Majdanek, and other extermination camps.
In a human weighing 68 kilograms (150 lb), death occurs within two minutes of inhaling 70 milligrams (0.0025 oz) of hydrogen cyanide.
In early 1942, Zyklon B emerged as the preferred killing tool of Nazi Germany for use in extermination camps during the Holocaust.[18] The chemical claimed the lives of roughly one million people in gas chambers installed in extermination camps at Auschwitz-Birkenau, Majdanek, and elsewhere.[19] Most of the victims were Jews, and by far the majority killed using this method died at Auschwitz.[20][21][b] Zyklon B was supplied to concentration camps at Mauthausen, Dachau, and Buchenwald by the distributor Heli, and to Auschwitz and Majdanek by Testa. Camps also occasionally bought Zyklon B directly from the manufacturers.[23] Of the 729 metric tons of Zyklon B sold in Germany in 1942–44, 56 metric tons (about 8 per cent of domestic sales) were sold to concentration camps.[24] Auschwitz received 23.8 tons, of which 6 tons were used for fumigation. The remainder was used in the gas chambers or lost to spoilage (the product had a shelf life of only three months).[25] Testa conducted fumigations for the Wehrmacht and supplied them with Zyklon B. They also offered courses to the SS in the safe handling and use of the material for fumigation purposes.[26] In April 1941 the German agriculture and interior ministries designated the SS as an authorized applier of the chemical, and thus they were able to use it without any further training or governmental oversight.[27]
Rudolf Höss, commandant of Auschwitz, said that the use of Zyklon-B to kill prisoners came about on the initiative of one of his subordinates, SS-Hauptsturmführer (captain) Karl Fritzsch, who used the substance to kill some Russian POWs in late August 1941 in the basement of Block 11 in the main camp. The experiment was repeated on more Russian POWs, with Höss watching, in September.[28][29] Block 11 proved unsuitable for mass killings, as the basement was difficult to air out afterwards and the crematorium (Crematorium I, which operated until July 1942) was some distance away.[29] The site of the killings was moved to Crematorium I, where more than 700 victims could be killed at once.[30] By the middle of 1942, the operation was moved to Auschwitz II–Birkenau, a nearby satellite camp which had been under construction since October 1941.[20]
The first gas chamber at Auschwitz II–Birkenau was the "red house" (called Bunker 1 by SS staff), a brick cottage converted to a gassing facility by tearing out the inside and bricking up the windows. It was operational by March 1942. A second brick cottage, the "white house" or Bunker 2, was converted some weeks later.[31][20] According to Höss, Bunker 1 held 800 victims and Bunker 2 held 1,200 victims.[32] These structures were in use for mass killings until early 1943.[33] At that point, the Nazis decided to greatly increase the gassing capacity of Birkenau. Crematorium II, originally designed as a mortuary, with morgues in the basement and ground-level incinerators, was converted into a killing factory by installing gas-tight doors, vents for the Zyklon B to be dropped into the chamber, and ventilation equipment to remove the gas afterwards.[34][c] Crematorium III was built using the same design. Crematoria IV and V, designed from the start as gassing centers, were also constructed that spring. By June 1943, all four crematoria were operational. Most of the victims were killed using these four structures.
The Nazis began shipping large numbers of Jews from all over Europe to Auschwitz in the middle of 1942. Those who were not selected for work crews were immediately gassed.[36] The group selected to die, about three-quarters of the total,[d] included almost all children, women with small children, all the elderly, and all those who appeared on brief and superficial inspection by an SS doctor not to be completely fit.[38] The victims were told they were to undergo delousing and a shower. They were stripped of their belongings and herded into the gas chamber.[32]
The Zyklon B was delivered by ambulance to the crematoria by a special SS bureau known as the Hygienic Institute.[32] The actual delivery of the gas to the victims was always handled by the SS, on the order of the supervising SS doctor.[39] After the doors were shut, SS men dumped in the Zyklon B pellets through vents in the roof or holes in the side of the chamber. The victims were dead within 20 minutes.[39] Johann Kremer, an SS doctor who oversaw gassings, testified that the "shouting and screaming of the victims could be heard through the opening and it was clear that they fought for their lives".[40]
Sonderkommandos (special work crews forced to work at the gas chambers) wearing gas masks then dragged the bodies from the chamber. The victims' glasses, artificial limbs, jewelry, and hair were removed, and any dental work was extracted so the gold could be melted down.[41] If the gas chamber was crowded, which they typically were, the corpses were found half-squatting, their skin discolored pink with red and green spots, with some found foaming at their mouths, or bleeding from their ears.[39] The corpses were burned in the nearby incinerators, and the ashes were buried, thrown in the river, or used as fertilizer.[41] With the Soviet Red Army approaching through Poland, the last mass gassing at Auschwitz took place on 30 October 1944.[42] In November 1944, Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS, ordered gassing operations to cease across the Reich.[43]
There's no evidence that it was used to kill anyone. Even the head of antiquities at the museum of auchwitz, who is a supporter of the extermination narrative, only prescribes 5% of it's use to homicidal use. Other countries used it to delouse just like Germany. America used it in its own cities. It's basically DDT. And you haven't addressed the stories of rooms with spikes coming out of the floor or the masterbation death machines.

Whatchu talking bout cyanide? They used Fritz Habers Zyklon B
The active ingredient in zyklon is cyanide, and many other countries used them for delousing exactly as Germany did.
