I never said the kicking and screaming would have been successful. I'm just trying to explain why I think so many people went quietly, and pointing out that most people, when faced with the prospect that their entire family, all their friends, and they themselves face imminent death if they do nothing will tend to do something, regardless of whether it's likely to succeed.

Also, keep in mind that there are fates worse than a quick painless death in the gas chambers. And the Nazis very much used those as well.
