Not by all. There was such a climate of fear that many people took part in the abuse because to not do so would get them reported to the party - which could result in them also being sent to concentration camps.
There's no doubt though that Nazism allowed the nasty nature of some to be expressed without condemnation.
Reading a book at the moment called Alone in Berlin, by Hans Fallada. It's a novel but based upon the author's experience of surviving under Hitler during ww2. The author died in 1947.
