The repressive policy of the Nazi state

The article examines how, in what way and by what methods the Nazi regime in Germany used the law to legalize and legally justify repressive policies. Key regulations are analyzed and the role of legal institutions in the formation of the totalitarian order is examined. Particular attention is paid to the transformation of law into an instrument of ideological violence, including the institution of "protective arrest". The work is based on historical and legal analysis and is aimed at identifying the mechanisms by which law became an instrument of suppression and intimidation.
