It focusses on all democratic countries under German occupation, and provides the details for answering questions like: how can law serve as an instrument of defence against an oppressive regime? Are the courts always the guardians of democracy and rule of law? What role was there for international law? How did the courts deal with dismissals, new appointees, new courts, forced German ordinances versus national law? How did judges justify their actions, help citizens, appease the enemy, protest against injustice? Experts from all democracies that were occupied by the Nazis paint vivid pictures of oppression, collaboration, and resistance. The results are interpreted in a socio-legal framework introducing the concept of ?moral hygiene? to explain the clash between normative and descriptive approaches in public opinion and scholarship concerning officials? behaviour in war-time. 606 $aSecond World War$2bicssc 606 $aCourts & procedure$2bicssc 606 $aPolitical structures: totalitarianism & dictatorship$2bicssc 610 $aJudiciary, enemy occupation, second World War, National Socialism, collaboration 615 7$aSecond World War 615 7$aCourts & procedure 615 7$aPolitical structures: totalitarianism & dictatorship 700 $aVenema$b Derk$4edt$01322304 702 $aVenema$b Derk$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910627228003321 996 $aSupreme Courts Under Nazi Occupation$93034785 997 $aUNINA
