- Title
Fliegende Standgerichte: Entstehung und Wirkung eines Instruments der nationalsozialistischen Militärjustiz.
- Authors
Kalmbach, Peter Lutz
- Abstract
The Flying Court Martial – this term stands for killings, deterrence, but also for suggestion and thereby represents the terrorist chaos of the final phase of the Third Reich. Thousands were killed by this retributive form of justice of the National Socialists into May 1945. The author doesn't merely make do with indicating the relating research literature on SS Commandos or the Standgerichtsverordnung (Court Martial Ordinance) of the Reich Ministry of Justice of February 1945. In order to understand the genesis of this instrument of justice, it is necessary to study a longer period than just that of 1944/45. For this reason the author outlines the environment between 1933 and 1943, identifies central actors and refers to legal developments especially of the 19th and early 20th century.
