I try hard to find historical facts and not the propaganda. The first prisons were not KZ Lager. They were just prisions to take out of society criminal people; illegal butchers, black market traffickers, those who had, according to Nazi standards, committed economical offenses Then coming from various groups forbidden or blacklisted by the Nazis: Roma or Gypsies, Jehovah's Witnesses, homosexuals. Then there were the 'terrorists' people who resisted occupation, listened to Allied broadcats, refused to do work... The Jews were separated into two groups. Jews that committed offenses and Jews that were just Jews. There were also prisoners that were kept, as hostages pending the arrest of their relatives who had committed offenses. As the war turn against the Germans, owing to the nature of the regime, they took extreme measures because they could not keep people in the KZ lager and resort to exterminate them. The soldiers were being psychologically affect for the daily slaughtering by firing squad, they mass resorted to the mass killing on the gas chambers. We have also to keep the historical perspective. The payments imposed on then by the Versailles Treaty was too harsh and the economy was doing badly with hyper-inflation and the world was in a recession. They were also -like you said- fighting for their physical survival. If the hardship of the Versailles treaty had been removed, the National Sociakst party would have never taken power.
