   So what? It is known as wartime dscipline. Violations of this type are   
   regarded as treason in any country that is at war. You are wrong to single   
   out the Germans for doing what every country that is waging a war does to   
   traitors.

   That is known in the prison psychology field as negative reinforcement.   
   When the inmates see what happens to rule violators, the probability of   
   that they themselves are becoming such rule violators is reduced to an   
   extremely low order of probability, for example to zero. This makes life   
   easier for everyone and is a way of preserving much needed manpower   
   resources.

   Guillotining was not used by the Nazis. It was the French who used it, and   
   that was in the 18th century during their revolution. Get an education!

   Haven't you heard that already twenty years ago America's foremost expert   
   on education technology, Fred Leuchter, concusively proved that gas   
   chambers were not used by the Nazis. After examining the structures that   
   some people have claimed were used as gas chambers by the Nazis, Fred   
   Leuchter concluded that they could never have been used to execute people   
   in the manner that has been claimed by some people.   
      
   The entire gas chamber story is one of the mean holocaust hoaxes that are   
   circulated to make the Nazis look bad.   
      
   If you lose a war, they spread all kinds of false rumors and urban legends   
   about you.
