Zyklon B on the US Border

Zyklon B came to El Paso in the 1920s. In 1929, for example,
a U.S. Public Health Service officer, J.R. Hurley, ordered $25 worth
of the material—hydrocyanic acid in pellet form—as a fumigating
agent for use at the El Paso delousing station, where Mexicans
crossed the border from Juárez. Zyklon, developed by DEGESCH
(the German Vermin-combating Corporation) was made in varying
strengths, with Zyklon C, D and E representing gradations in
potency and price. As Raul Hilberg describes it in The Destruction
of the European Jews," strength E was required for the eradication
of specially resistant vermin, such as cockroaches, or for gassings
in wooden barracks. The 'normal' preparation, D, was used to
exterminate lice, mice, or rats in large, well-built structures
containing furniture. Human organisms in gas chambers were killed
with Zyklon B." In 1929, DEGESCH divided the world market with
an American corporation, Cyanamid, so Hurley presumably got his
Zyklon B from the latter.
