I came in here tonight to make a topic about his, but topic searched and found this. People need see this shit is happening. This is literal Nazi shit. Everyone involved in this needs to go down. Hard.

People need to remember that the Nazis didn't start with mass murders. They started small with shit like this. When people started dying and local law enforcement looked into it (this was before the Nazis had a stranglehold on provincial governments and complete control of law enforcement) and we transferred then killed. The following is from the wiki on Dachau. It breaks down the entire situation pretty well. I've read a ton of the stuff it's sourced from, it's pretty fucking grim stuff. Rise and Fall of the Third Reich gets into a ton of this stuff as well.

Shortly after the SS was commissioned to supplement the Bavarian police overseeing the Dachau camp, the first reports of prisoner deaths at Dachau began to emerge. In April 1933, Josef Hartinger, an official from the Bavarian Justice Ministry and physician Moritz Flamm, part-time medical examiner, arrived at the camp to investigate the deaths in accordance with the Bavarian penal code. They noted many inconsistencies between the injuries on the corpses and the camp guards' accounts of the deaths. Over a number of months, Hartinger and Flamm uncovered clear evidence of murder and compiled a dossier of charges against Hilmar Wckerle, the SS commandant of Dachau, Werner Nrnbergk the camp doctor and Josef Mutzbauer, the camp's chief administrator. In June 1933, Hartinger presented the case to his superior, Bavarian State Prosecutor, Karl Wintersberger. Initially supportive of the investigation, Wintersberger became reluctant to submit the resulting indictment to the Justice Ministry, increasingly under the influence of the SS. Hartinger reduced the scope of the dossier to the four clearest cases and Wintersberger signed it, after first notifying Himmler as a courtesy. The killings at Dachau suddenly stopped (temporarily), Wckerle was transferred to Stuttgart and replaced by Theodor Eicke. The indictment and related evidence reached the office of Hans Frank, the Bavarian Justice Minister, but was intercepted by Gauleiter Adolf Wagner and locked away in a desk only to be discovered by the US Army. In 1934, both Hartinger and Wintersberger were transferred to provincial positions. Dr. Flamm was no longer employed as a medical examiner and was to survive two attempts on his life before his suspicious death in the same year. Flamm's thoroughly gathered and documented evidence within Hartiger's indictment ensured that it achieved convictions of senior Nazis at the Nrnberg trials in 1947. Wintersberger's complicit behaviour is documented in his own evidence to the Pohl Trial.
