You are correct that Zyklon B was not a gas itself, but rather a pesticide that emitted cyanide gas when exposed to air. The substance was manufactured as small pellets or granules, which were then released into the gas chambers via vents or through openings in the roof.
Regarding the use of Zyklon B, the Nazis initially developed it as a pesticide for use in fumigating ships and warehouses. However, they later adopted it for use in killing humans in gas chambers, primarily in extermination and concentration camps.
Zyklon B was also used extensively for delousing clothing and other personal belongings of the prisoners. Delousing was crucial for maintaining hygiene and preventing the spread of diseases such as typhus, which was a significant problem in the overcrowded and unsanitary conditions of the camps.
I apologize if my earlier statement was unclear or redundant. To clarify, the use of Zyklon B served multiple purposes for the Nazi regime, including the control of pests, the delousing of prisoners' clothing and personal belongings, and the mass murder of innocent people in gas chambers. All of these purposes are horrific and are a part of the tragic and shameful legacy of the Holocaust.
