History Flakes - The Berlin History Podcast

Episode 5: Law & Justice in Nazi Germany Part 1: Establishing the Dictatorship

โ€ข Pip Roper & Jonny Whitlam โ€ข Season 1 โ€ข Episode 5

Strap in nerds. In the first episode of our first two-parter, we use the career of Roland Freisler to track some of the huge legal changes that would secure the dictatorship of the Third Reich. We get up to 1934 here, where the Nazis are on the cusp of becoming the one and only political force in the country, having outlawed all other parties.

Watch out for the next episode to hear about how Freisler himself would weaponise the law for the Naziโ€™s murderous means and his ultimate and quite satisfying death.
