   There was widespread support for animal welfare in Nazi Germany among   
   the country’s leadership. Adolf Hitler and his top officials took a   
   variety of measures to ensure animals were protected.Several Nazis   
   were environmentalists, and species protection and animal welfare were   
   significant issues in the Nazi regime. Heinrich Himmler made an effort   
   to ban the hunting of animals. Herman Göring was a professed animal   
   lover and conservationist who threatened to commit Germans who   
   violated Nazi animal welfare laws to concentration camps. In his   
   private diaries, Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels … also   
   mentions that Hitler planned to discourage slaughterhouses in the   
   German Reich following the conclusion of World War II.

   That's a side of the Nazis that most people don't know about. Many of   
   those men were animal lovers and try to extend their pets love to the   
   inmates. There was many accounts of soldiers allowing their dogs to be   
   emotional support for people in the camp. Many inmates felt an   
   emotional attachment to these dogs. Of course because of the actions   
   of a few bad apples, all Nazi guards were painted as evil.
