Please scroll down to livor mortis/postmortem hypostasis, the phenomenon of blood pooling in a cadaver at the lowest point in the body that occurs 30+ minutes after death. Below that entry there are several terms that describe HCN (hydrogen cyanide) toxicity. HCN was the primary ingredient in Zyklon B, the chemical used for the alleged mass gassings.
Should you choose to access photos of the camps and the piles of dead bodies you'll note a pronounced livor mortis that shows up as darker grayscale in black and white photographs, rather like mottled bruising. HCN toxicity produces a masking effect of this coloration in bright pink that would be evidence all over the remains. CO (carbon monoxide) would produce the same type of masking in bright cherry-red all over the remains.
While this visual evidence should be enough, there's also the statement of the forensic pathologist for the Allies at the time, Dr. Charles Larson;
