What doesn’t make sense to me is why they would use this elaborate Bond villain method of killing humans straight out of Hollywood. I’m surprised they don’t claim they first had to slide down a spike rollercoaster before swimming through an acid vat to get to the chemical showers and ovens.

It’s all so inefficient and expensive in the middle of a two-front war. How would they dissipate the poison gas to go collect the bodies for the ovens? Where were they getting all this gasoline to fuel the ovens? Where were they shipping the ashes? It would be mountains of ash they had to deal with. These are the things you never think of when you’re watching some Hollywood movie where Bond is tied up over some alligator pit. You just think about the danger of the alligators and you cheer for Bond to escape. You don’t think about who’s taking care of the alligators, who’s feeding them, who cleans their water, etc.

When we look at other examples of mass killing in history, how is it done? With elaborate Hollywood-style booby traps? Or do they make people dig their own graves then shoot them? And if they were short on metal for bullets, they could slit their throats. That’s always how it’s done throughout history, aside from this one situation, which also happens to have the Hollywood-style branded name and the lurid James Bond booby traps.
