CoachZyklon B was originally used as a pest control in a crystallised form but the gases are poisonous. It wasn't used as a killing gas until the Deputy in charge of Auschwitz I had the idea. It was tested on the worst block. Block 11. The actual Zyklon B gas was invented at some point in the 1800's and wasn't invented but discovered.
