Goofy -- Please give the sources for the photographs, as our rules require:

Listing the source of the images
The administration appreciate that many of the discussions require illustrations, including period photographs. At the same time, we would like to maintain the high quality that the Axis History Forum is known for. Therefore, we require that our members list the source of the photographs they post. The required information depends on the source of the photograph.

• Books and magazines: The author and title of the book. Page number is also preferred, but not required.
• Archives: The archive name and reference, as per the instructions of the archive.
• Websites: The URL to the specific page where the photograph was found. Note, that Google image search or eBay auction is not accepted. If you have found the photograph using Google image search, you must follow the link on Google, and post the website address. Likewise, for eBay auctions, you must post the seller's id. If you do not remember the source, you must explicitly write this (this is not a carte blanche to state that the source for all the photographs you post are unknown, and abuse of this method is not accepted).
• Own collection: If you own the photograph yourself (i.e. a period print or a print which you are allowed to re-publish), you must write so either by watermarking the photograph or writing it in your post. Claiming you own photographs which you do not actually own will not be tolerated.

Violating these guidelines can result in removal of posts, warnings, loss of photo posting privileges and banning.

Best regards,

There is no doubt that the Germans used gas vans to exterminate Jews prior to the full implementation of the final solution and the planned destruction of world Jewry (from March 1942 to early 1943 about 80% of Poland's pre-war Jewish population had been exterminated), were the death camps were used for wiping out the Jewish population of both West and Eastern Europe. The vans were used if I am not wrong in central-western occupied Poland close to Lodz, were the Jewish inhabitants of the region and from the infamous Ghetto Lodz were murdered. I think, maybe, the aim of the Soviets was to expose the methods the Germans were using against their citizens (we all can agree here that the victims were all Jewish). I am not sure of the vans being used in Warsaw, and I believe they were used mainly during the early stages of the Holocaust during the operational period of the Chełmno Extermination Camp.
