It
is
Dr. Freisler who boldly pronounces the doe-:
trine that objective justice in any individual
case is unimportant. Only the welfare and the
security of the state matter. A judge who does
not obey this supreme edict must be severely
punished. Thus, the doctrine is promulgated
of the "royal" judge who is unfettered by
laws. His sole duty is to the state. The state's
witnesses are frequently the Gestapo, and to
disbelieve the Gestapo is to cast aspersion up-
on the state. A judge is in danger of his life
should he fail to heed the government's accu-
sation. Thousands.of judges now languish in
'
concentration camps.
A judge must not decide. Like a soldier, he
must obey. The Ministry of Propaganda pro-
vides the instructions. Press releases are pre-
pared lin advance of the trial. The evidence
does not matter. Certain impressions must be
created for public consumption. This theory
operates likewise to exclude reports of certain
.trials. No contest involving a National Social-
ist organization, 'or a member of the party, if
membership is a factor in the case, embezzle-
ment of party funds, or aspersions, upon
party members, may be mentioned. The list
of "offensive" trials is so long that very few
trials are ever reported. Thus, Dr. Doerner,
head of the Press Bureau in the Ministry

Justice, by exclusion ana. distorted inclusion,
uses the courts as a mere adjunct of the propa-
ganda machinery.
"Killed in battle" is often an expres-
sion of Gestapo "justice":
Occasionally the prominence of the victim
requires 'more subtle tactics. Thus General
von Fritsch, who refused to permit Heinrich
Himmler to obtain weapons for the S. S. from
the army, was tried before a special court.
The charge was homosexuality. The witnesses,
who were prepared by the Gestapo, broke
down and the General Staff was powerful
enough to prev-ent the disregard of the testi-
mony. He was neither found guilty nor ac-
quitted, but declared to be "rehabilitated".
The wishes of the Gestapo were, however, fully
complied with during the Polish campaign
when General von Fritsch was declared to
have been killed in battle.
Not only political opponents, but party
workers who must be done away with, are
murdered in deepest silence and secrecy. The
war offers a splendid opportunity. Prince
Rupprecht of Bavaria, candidate of the mon-
archists, has also died a "hero's death" in the
war.
There is competition among official
and unofficial thieves:
The complications of official chicanery are
varied.

was a common practice for thieves
to pose as Gestapo agents and loot Jewish.
homes. Rarely were complaints made by its
victims, for to challenge the state's agents was
to invite greater disaster.. The terror spread
to "Aryan" homes, where the fear for the
S. A. was no less. The Gestapo became jealous
of the encroachment upon its domain and re-
served to itself this species of extortion. Pri-
vate thieves were then punished in several
exemplary trials. Plunder is now duly .official.
Note the "high" requirements for offi-
cial Nazi appointment:
Chief of all German court physicians and
expert witnesses, and at the same time head
of the Institute for Medical Jurisprudence,
is Dr. Mueller Hess. Before 1933 Dr. Hess
was dismissed by the University of Bonn as
unfit, By the inverted standards of Hitlerism
this qualified him for one of the most impor-
tant positions in German jurisprudence. Dr.
Hess and his chosen associates find defend-
ants sane or insane in accordance with the de-
sire of the Gestapo and Ministry of Propa-
ganda. Consequently, any defendant is at the
mercy of the state; formal testimony is sup-
plied by its agents irrespective of truth.

There is a complete disclosure of the Horst
Wessel case. He was a procurer who was killed
in 1930 by one Ali Hoehler in a brawl over a
prostitute. Hoehler was convicted for man-
slaughter by the pre-Hitler courts. Four years
later the Nazis, after killing Hoehler in a
concentration camp, retried the case. The in-
