Nacistická spravedlnost v župě Sudety
The Nazi Justice System in the Sudetengau

Summary/Abstract: Anders, Freia. Strafjustiz im Sudetengau 1938–1945 (Veröffentlichungen des Collegium Carolinum, vol. 112). Munich: Oldenbourg, 2008, vii + 551 pp. + CDROM. This book is, according to the reviewer, a precise work that, to a certain extent, fills the gaps in the treatment of the legal history of the Reichsgau Sudetenland (also known as the Sudetengau). The book merits praise for its carefully worked-out theoretical starting points (which are based on a typology of Max Weber’s concept of ‘domination’) and also for its far-ranging work with primary sources. In the chapters devoted to changes in criminal law, the activity of the public prosecutors, the courts, sentences, and the social profile of employees of the justice system in the Sudetengau, the book provides much valuable quantitative information and the work demonstrates its conclusions using concrete cases.
