    Use of Saurer trucks in the Chełmno extermination program

    During the Second World War, restructured Saurer truck types were used by Nazi authorities as gas vans in the extermination program at Chełmno. The vehicles were adapted for the murder of deported people. This is a documented wartime use of Saurer-derived vehicles and a serious part of the brand's historical record.
