The Witch Hunters: 2: Freisler - the People's Judge

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Julian Putkowski's three-part series which analyses grotesque distortions of justice that occur when the law gets political.
In Nazi Germany the judiciary desperately tried to incorporate the ideals of justice with the will of the Volk as embodied in its highest being, Hitler. So the People's Court was established, headed by the notorious fanatic Roland Freisler. With Dr Hanns Koch.
