"Meth"?
Whatever "meth" is.
NO.
Germany didn't. The Nazi regime of Germany at the time, did.
It used a powerful rodenticide / insecticide trade-named "Zyklon B"; whose active ingredient in contact with water released hydrogen cyanide, which interferes with respiration.
The original version, invented in California in the 1880s, was used for example, for fumigating polluted clothes, ships' holds and the like.
The Nazis' extermination-camp gas-chambers were disguised as communal showers, and the gas was administered through the shower-heads.
Earlier they had been using at small, local scales, engine exhaust gas rich in the very poisonous carbon-monoxide. (It usurps the oxygen in binding to the haemoglobin.)
That and individual shooting... until the High Command realised it was having deleterious psychological effects on the soldier "executioners".
