Nazi rule converted independent courts into an administrative bureaucracy of punishment.

Evidence

The article Criminal Law in National Socialist Germany', which appeared in the summer of 1940, emphasized that the transformation of the legal system from an independent organ of the state into an administrative bureaucracy’ was the most significant change which had taken place in the system of criminal justice in Germany since 1933. 239 This bureaucracy’s area of jurisdiction had been severely restricted, however, by the large increase in the number of administrative authorities which had their own powers of criminal punishment. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 257
