What normative foundations did the Nazi system rest upon? With what justification could the will of the Führer become a source of law? How was it possible, according to Nazi criminal law, to punish actions that did not violate any written law? The original texts gathered and commented on in this volume provide insight into the thinking of legal theorists who sympathized with National Socialism and document their attempt to legitimize authoritarian legal principles that contradict the rule of law. A surprising aspect of the Nazi injustice system, which has largely been overlooked by legal and moral philosophical research until now, is the attempt to ethicalize law and the associated totalization of state power influence.
