Über das Strafrecht des 1. Weltkrieges
About the Criminal Law during the First World War

Summary/Abstract: The military criminal law has developed its own military criminal code and its own military criminal court code. No area of political and social life is spared from criminal law. There is a widespread colonial criminal law. Tax, fee, stamp and customs laws work with threats of punishment. Press, association, emigration, maritime and transport systems are riddled with penal provisions. Banks, insurance companies, trade, commerce, hunting and fishing are subject to criminal controls; Life, health, property, assets, freedom and competition are protected under criminal law in addition to the Criminal Code through individual laws. The criminal law of the Reich is supplemented and expanded by the criminal law of the federal states. Prussia, for example, had its own legal system of punishment before the start of the war, ranging from commercial criminal law to flood prevention criminal law.
