How did Nazi Germany treat blind people?

by thatveryrandomguy

I had assumed - what with them being Nazis and all - that Nazi Germany would give blind people the same treatment they gave others with disabilities, but I I came across a segment in 'The bombing war' by Richard Overy where he said that the policy for Nazi bomb shelters was that there were no animals allowed, except dogs if they were for blind people, which was something which I found quite surprising. I did not assume that the Nazis would be quite so accommodating. Was there other exceptions or further levels of support that Nazi Germany offered blind people?
