Nazi Germany: How the Law Became a Weapon | FULL DOCUMENTARY

After Hitler seized power in January 1933, Nazi lawyers and magistrates helped transform the German legal system into an instrument of ideology, repression and racial persecution. From the creation of the Volksgerichtshof to the Night of the Long Knives, the Nuremberg Laws and Operation T4, the film follows the step-by-step destruction of traditional justice under the Third Reich. Through lawyers, magistrates, executioners, resisters and victims, the documentary shows how law became part of the Nazi system. Trials, decrees and executions reveal how justice was reshaped to serve power. A factual look at the machinery of Nazi law, and the people caught inside it.
