3. The Nazi Party: The "People's Court"

(1934 - 1945)

Since its founding, the National Socialist German Workers Party fought against the rule of law. The National Socialist takeover also represented a victory of authoritarian criminal law over liberal criminal law. The creation of Special Courts (Sondergerichte) in 1933 and the “People’s Court” (Volksgerichtshof) in 1934 were important milestones.

With Roland Freisler’s appointment as president of the “People’s Court” in 1942, the trials lost their last semblance of legitimate legal proceedings. Freisler humiliated and ridiculed the defendants. The wording of statues was systematically misinterpreted; death sentences were “justified” on grounds presented on less than two pages of text. The “People’s Court” committed judicial murders.
