Hitler gradually came into power in Germany. The atrocities of the holocaust were also not something that happened all at once. Jews were and other minorities were treated moderately well at first. When some were attacked, the SS perpetrators were condemned. They were seen as bad individual actors, or possible the opposing party masquerading as national socialists. Dachau was a prison camp that still followed the law. However, the bad apples gradually gained more power. Josef Hartinger tried to expose and stop the bad behavior. Alas, his efforts failed and are fairly forgotten from history.
