Answer: below

Explanation: 1. In the Nazi state, the SS assumed leading responsibility for security, identification of ethnicity, settlement and population policy, and intelligence collection and analysis. The SS controlled the German police forces and the concentration camp system.

2. Minor violations of the rules resulted in serious beatings, whippings, confinement, or denial of food. Attempts at escape, sabotage, or political agitation were met with death sentences; however, inmates could be executed for much more minor violations.Mass executions were common

3. they were inspected and if they failed they got gassed in the chamber and if they passed they got sent off to the slave union (the work) and then later got gassed as for the women and children just got gassed right away

4. The aryans because they were viewed as a valuable part of their race, simply misguided and in need of correction.

5. n early German (Nazi) concentration camps, several comforts were available to prisoners, including: the playing of music during labor, a food-based reward system, relatively comfortable sleeping conditions, and the ability - in some rare cases - to receive visitors. However, despite these comforts, the conditions in early concentration camps were still inhumane, dirty, and unsafe.
