Control Council Law No. 1 - Repealing Of Nazi Laws
The Control Council Law No. 1 – Repealing of Nazi Laws (, short form: ''Kontrollratsgesetz Nr. 1'') was a law enacted by the Allied Control Council for post-World War II Germany on 20 September 1945. Description It repealed numerous pieces of legislation enacted by the Nazi regime. Also, it prohibited the application of any German enactment that could discriminate against any person based on their race, nationality, religious beliefs or opposition against the NSDAP. By repealing the Enabling Act of 1933, theoretically the Weimar Constitution was reestablished, however the constitution stayed irrelevant on the grounds of the powers of the Allied Control Council acting as occupying forces. Further denazification of the legislation was conduced the following years. Text The official text of the law was in the three languages of the occupying forces, although a non-binding German translation was provided. Signatories for the occupying forces were Bernard L. Montgomery (British ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Allied Control Council
The Allied Control Council or Allied Control Authority (german: Alliierter Kontrollrat) and also referred to as the Four Powers (), was the governing body of the Allied Occupation Zones in Germany and Allied-occupied Austria after the end of World War II. Its members were the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, the United States and France. The organisation was based in Berlin-Schöneberg. The council was convened to determine several plans for postwar Europe, including how to change borders and transfer populations in Eastern Europe and Germany. As the four Allied Powers had joined themselves into a condominium asserting supreme power in Germany, the Allied Control Council was constituted the sole legal sovereign authority for Germany as a whole, replacing the extinct civil government of Nazi Germany. Creation Allied preparations for the postwar occupation of Germany began during the second half of 1944, after Allied forces began entering Germany in September 1944. Most of t ...

Gesetz Zur Wiederherstellung Des Berufsbeamtentums
The Law for the Restoration of the Professional Hitler Service (german: Gesetz zur Wiederherstellung des Berufsbeamtentums, shortened to ''Berufsbeamtengesetz''), also known as Civil Service Law, Civil Service Restoration Act, and Law to Re-establish the Civil Service, was a law passed by the Nazi regime of Germany on 7 April 1933, two months after Adolf Hitler had attained power and two weeks after the promulgation of the Enabling Act. It was one of the first anti-Semitic and racist laws to be passed in Germany. Articles of the law Article 1 of the Law claimed that in order to re-establish a "national" and "professional" civil service, members of certain groups of tenured civil servants were to be dismissed.

Rassenschande
''Rassenschande'' (, "racial shame") or ''Blutschande'' ( "blood disgrace") was an anti-miscegenation concept in Nazi German racial policy, pertaining to sexual relations between Aryans and non-Aryans. It was put into practice by policies like the Aryan certificate requirement, Leila J. Rupp, ''Mobilizing Women for War'', p 125, and later by anti-miscegenation laws such as the Nuremberg Laws, adopted unanimously by the Reichstag on 15 September 1935. Initially, these laws referred predominantly to relations between ethnic Germans (classified, together with most other western Europeans, as "Aryans") and non-Aryans, regardless of citizenship. In the early stages the culprits were targeted informally; later, they were punished systematically and legally. In the course of the ensuing war years, sexual relations between ''Reichsdeutschen'' (ethnic Germans, regardless of place of birth) and millions of foreign '' Ostarbeitern'' ("workers from the East") forcibly brought to Germa ...

Gesetz Zur Sicherung Der Einheit Von Partei Und Staat
The Law to Secure the Unity of Party and State (german: Gesetz zur Sicherung der Einheit von Partei und Staat), sometimes translated as the Law to Safeguard the Unity of Party and State, was a statute enacted by the government of Nazi Germany on 1 December 1933 that established a close interconnection between the Nazi Party (including its paramilitary wing, the ''Sturmabteilung'', or SA) and the governmental apparatus of Germany. Background After the Nazi seizure of power on 30 January 1933, Adolf Hitler quickly set about taking control of all aspects of the German government and society. One of his first acts was to engineer passage of the Enabling Act of 1933, Enabling Act through the ''Reichstag (Weimar Republic), Reichstag'' on 23 March 1933. This empowered the "Reich government" (i.e., the Reich Chancellor and his cabinet) to enact laws for a period of four years without submitting them for passage and approval to the ''Reichstag'' or the Reich President.
