Nah, their heads were shaved whether they went to the gas chambers or not, it was for the same reason the Marine Corps shaves your head at Paris Island, to dehumanize you as an individual, it makes it easier to get you to kill, but it also makes it easier to kill you.
The SS realized that it would be difficult for the troops to pull the switch, the gas chambers came in the wake of the failure of the tactic of mass shootings, so they were cognizant of the psychological process of mass killing and doing all they could to make the pill go down easier.

Could it be a better motivation to protect your way of life and civilization and argue that involves killing other people to protect it? Would all just be relativist thinking and rationalizing to you? Even when you compare Stalinist Russia with Constitutional United Kingdom or United States an so on?

I don't negotiate with conspiracy theories; plata o plomo, if you don't take the plata, you get the plomo, it's up to you, but don't bother trying to appeal, Naziboi.
It's not like I have remorse about firebombing your heroes into the stoneage, whether or not they were evil was neither here nor there, and I'd do it all again, in a heartbeat.

All you have to do is read the witness testimony. They were immediately shaven upon disembarkation to a man woman and child and the next room was the gas chamber. There was no separation of who comes and goes. It was haircut tank to gassing tank.

They seperated into two categories, workers and non workers, even at Auschwitz, and everybody got their heads shaved.
The purpose was dehumanization, whether for gassing or forced labour.

You cannot delouse human beings with zyklon-b. the reason the eye-irritant was added to it was to keep people from dying from exposure. It's the same reason they put ammonia in chemicals like hydrazine.
Zyklon-B was used to delouse things like clothing, etc. Animals cannot survive it if exposed in a room like that. It's literally cyanide.

Not all camps were the same. Some were death camps and others concentration camps. I'm talking about eyewitness accounts from treblinka.
