Publisher Description:
Uber 20 000 Deserteure und Kriegsdienstverweigerer wurden von Hitlers brutalen Kriegsrichtern zum Tode verurteilt und hingerichtet. Zigtausend andere kamen in Militargefangnissen und strafrechtlichen Batallionen ums Leben. Selbst fur diejenigen, die mit dem Leben davongekommen waren, war das Leben nach dem Krieg nie mehr dasselbe. Bis zu ihrem Lebensende galten die meisten Manner, die den Nazis ihre Gefolgschaft entzogen hatten, als Verrater. Im Gegensatz dazu konnten ihre Richter, Leute, die dem NS-Staat treu gedient hatten, als geehrte Manner sofort nach Kriegsende in Politik und Justiz ihre Karriere fortsetzen. Das vorliegende Buch untersucht ein unglaubliches Unrecht. Es erzahlt die Geschichte von Justizmorden von erschreckendem Ausmass. English Over 20 000 deserters and war resisters paid the ultimate price at the hands of Hitler's brutal war judges and executioners; thousands of others died in prison-camps and penal battalions. Even for those who escaped death, life was never the same. Tormented by their memories of indescribable mental and physical abuse, those who once refused to serve the Nazis had to live as pariahs, scorned by a society that professed to hate the regime they had actively opposed. In contrast, their judges, masters of unbelievable draconian sentences, thrived in post-war Germany and beyond as honoured men in prestigious positions. Deserters is the story of this incredible injustice. It is the disturbing story of what happened to those who refused to fight for the Third Reich, and - even more disturbing - it is the story of an international community that has turned its back on them"
