Nazis saw political opponents as threats to their ideology and vision for a racially pure Aryan Germany. They believed that the political opponents, especially leftists and communists, were undermining the strength and unity of the German nation. The Nazis justified the persecution of these opponents by deeming them as enemies of the state who were working against the best interests of the German people. They portrayed them as subversives who were trying to destroy the nationalist and racial unity of the nation. Additionally, the Nazis labeled political opponents as traitors and collaborators with foreign powers, exaggerating their perceived threat to justify their persecution.
