No, Nazi Germany used something called zyklon-b in the gas chambers or exhaust fumes in gas vans. In Eastern Europe they mainly used bullets and hid the evidence ie bodies in mass graves. My paternal grandfather was spared this horrible fate like most Soviet Jews b/c as a young child he was deported along with his mother from Gomel in Belarus to Siberia deep in present day Russia in 1941. His father was not sent east with the family and is believed to have perished and been buried in Belarus sometime between 1942-1943.
