anyone who didn't share the nazi ideology ran the risk of being persecuted. even if they were "pure germans". this included socialists, communist, disabled people, lgtbq people, religious minorities for example the jehovah's witnesses, student groups and so on. so yes, like every fascist regime in history, nazi germany was also an extreme police state.
