The total staat or initially total war idea was not a nazi idea, they were even against it initially. This came from the WWI loss, and the perceived lack support in the media and civil society. The German generals were furious about their weak soldiers and officers in the field, with a high percentage of deflectors and vocal liberals. On the other side the French and British were known for their immediate death sentences to such deflectors. So the army (Ludendorff) pushed for the total war effort after the loss, with extreme new civil laws outside wartime. Everybody ignored those new "Zersetzungs" laws initially. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_war https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_war The Nazis opposed that before 1943, because it was very unpopular. The army were the initial enemies of the constitution and civil liberties, not the Nazis.
