This book on the legal system under the Nazis is based around three fundamental points - that non-Jewish justices and lawyers acquiesced in the Nazi seizure of power, that these men connived in the worst excesses of the Nazi regime, and that most of them escaped punishment and even blame for their collaboration. The book shows how even the most notorious justices under the Nazis went on to enjoy successful careers in the post-war state. This was both in obedience to the myth that Nazism was inflicted on the nation by a relatively few depraved lunatics, and incestuously instrumental in affording the specious proof for it.
