I am referring to the general question of the legality of the Holocaust or Porajmos. Were the orders the soldiers have been given in contrast to German law? The top tier Nazis were sentenced in Nuremberg for international war crimes (offences that weren‘t codified at the time the crimes were committed). But those are part of international criminal law; I‘m wondering if the holocaust was forbidden under national German criminal or military law. These actions were obvious murders in the sense of section 211 of the German Criminal Code but I‘m wondering if the Nazis enacted some sort of law or decree suspending these murder provisions. Gustav Radbruch famously said that if a law is undeniably in stark contrast to the general sense of „justice“ than you don‘t have to follow it. This would mean that the people in power did legalise the Holocaust with concrete provisions.
