Hitler is largely credited with the introduction of the Concentration camp in Germany in 1933 with the opening of Oranienburg on March 12. While Hitler was not elected Fuhrer until 1934 he was Chancellor and is considered by historians to be the real ruler of Germany in the 1930's. Hitler was not democratically elected, he legally took over power after the death of President von Hindenburg so the German public should not be held responsible for his actions. Some blame the French and British governments for the rise of Hitler. Following World War I the victors implemented a reparation system which decimated the German economy, industry, political structure, and military. This set the stage for Hitler's right wing nationalist movement which in turn established the Concentration camps. International politics is complicated...
