»Criminal Justice in Saarland. National Socialist Criminal Law in the Case Law of the Sondergericht (Special Court) Saarbrücken from 1939 to 1945«: Using the example of the »Sondergericht Saarbrücken«, the study analyses procedural files to determine whether and to what extent the criminal justice system in the Saarland was determined by National Socialist ideology during the National Socialist regime. For this purpose, the death sentences passed by the court are subjected to a detailed content analysis in order to prove the respective ideological imprints and to reveal the involvement of the judiciary in the terror system of the Nazi state.
