A Failure of Justice
By March of 1955, West Germany was independently adjudicating all war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by its citizens during the Third Reich. It is estimated that there were over 750,000 German people actively involved in mass murder. West German courts, prosecutors, and police committed a failure of justice so extreme as to find innocent all those who used as a legal defense: I WAS ONLY DOING MY JOB.
“Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. Do not obey in advance” ~Timothy Snyder |
