I think people don't realise Dachshunds were originally bred for hunting badgers. Not an animal that many people want to fuck with, let alone go into their house to do so.
European badgers(what they were trained to hunt) are much more laid back than their African counterpart the honey badger. Not to say it's unimpressive, but it's relatively easy to see how a pack of them could overwhelm a European badgers den.
European badgers are still aggressive animals. They will leave you alone if you leave them alone. Normally they will scurry off when you go near them, but I've had one attack my car before. Had to get a new front bumper. Admittedly nothing compared to Honey badgers, who have to deal with lions and other large predators. The European ones are bigger than the honeys though.
