| Zusammenfassung: | With its horrific history the subject of countless memorials and endless public discussions, Germany is the poster child for national self-reckoning. But when it comes to using retributive justice as a tool of Vergangenheitstbewältigung—confronting the past—the German legal system has accumulated a disappointing if not pitiful record., In the years immediately following the war, German courts conducted more than 4,600 trials related to crimes committed during the Nazi period—a number that sounds impressive but obscures the fact that these trials were conducted under the watchful eye of Allied zonal occupiers, and for the most part involved relatively trivial property crimes committed during the last months of the war. |
