I mean, I could write for days about it. If you want some sources to look at/read then i'll provide some....although I wouldn't think you would really actually go out and find them.
I never said it was a "general rule" all over Germany.....I'm actually not what you are talking about. In some instances, you are right about the country towns, however, there was absolutely resistance to what the Nazis were doing, particularly in areas where they were destroying farmland for railroads, munitions depots, etc. Watch the film Viehjud Levi. Good depiction of country life during the Nazi rise to power.
But as far as the Holocaust/Final Solution being "socially acceptable" I still have to disagree. Why do you think the officials at the Wansee Conference tried to keep the plans for the Final Solution a huge secret? There were plenty of political delegates there who absolutely knew that it would bite Germany in the ass if the Nazis continued with their planned course of action concerning Jews, Slavs, and Gypsies. Read up on Wilhelm Stuckart. He co-authored the Nuremberg Laws and was one of the biggest opponents to the Final Solution because he knew it would be a bureaucratic and social nightmare.
Couple excellent books:
Ian Kershaw: "The Nazie Dictatorship: Problems and Perspectives of Interpretation"
Ronnie S. Landau: "The Nazi Holocaust"
