The SS and Nazi Death Camps | Nazi Mega Weapons: The SS
Learn about the SS's involvement in the Holocaust. Germany invaded Russia on June 22, 1941, and Himmler's plan to eradicate millions of Jews, Slaves, and Roma gets under way. The SS decide to ship them to concentration camps using the vast European railways system. Many don't survive the journey but those that do find themselves at Himmler's killing camps. Millions die in gas chambers and at Dachau. Professor Steve Remy finds evidence of a shooting range, but the Russians begin to fight back and the tide of war is changing.
