What happened to all the Gas Vans used in the Holocaust?

[anonymous-user]

It's a bit of a sensitive subject, but I have been reading about the Second World War and I note that they used "gas vans" to exterminate victims during the Holocaust before they introduced gas chambers. Around 7,000 Jews, Romas, Jehovah's Witnesses and others died in a gas van, out of the 6,000,000+ who died between 1941-1945 under the German Reich.

I have established two brands that participated in the production of gas vans (carbon monoxide was piped in to the van), Magrius-Deutz (now seperated and Magrius is owned by Iveco group) and Mercedes.

What happened to the gas vans?

No idea why you would be interested in this but I would have thought they were all destroyed.

Well I hope they would have been.

No reason for them to be kept.

Surely one would be at a museum? Although it would of had a dark past.

Nothing wrong with taking an interest in researching WW1 and 2.

Am I right to think, that gas vans were phased out and replaced by gas chambers after the Final Solution, introduced by Heinrich Himmler? Or was the gas van part of the Final Solution to the Jewish Question?
