 Dachau was merely a mass detention center for "political" prisoners

 "jewishness" did not begin until after Kristallnacht (sp.?) in Nov. '38.

Sure. But the campaigns against the jews started already 34/35 ("Kauft nicht 
bei Juden" - Don't buy at jews), the so called Rassegesetze were introduced 
long before the war, and parents said to their children long before the war: 
"Wenn du nicht spurst, kommst du ins Lager" - If you do not obey, you'll come 
into the lager. The people perhaps didn't exactly know what was going on 
there but they knew the function of that lagers very exactly. During the war 
a lot of German soldiers who had holidays at home told their families what 
was going on in Russia, in Poland, in the Ucraine, whereever. There were a 
lot of rumours and the people knew a lot about war crimes perhaps not the 
dimensions of these crimes. This concerns the "normal" Nazi crimes as well as 
the Holocaust which took place after the Wannsee Conference 1941 - this is 
right.
