摘要

本文对纳粹国家意识形态核心机构党卫军法院的内部运作进行了实证研究，分析了党卫军法院如何在涉及非法性行为的案件中适用党卫军法律，以及如何评估受审党卫军人员的种族特征。文章表明：(1) 党卫军法庭宣扬的是一种被称为 "无限 "的激进意识形态。然而，分析也将揭示党卫军法庭在战争期间是如何（2）在面对前线现实时逐渐从意识形态的纯洁性立场上爬下来的；以及（3）尽管其意识形态的核心特征，但在某些方面是作为一个法律理性的官僚机构运作的。在文章的最后，我们将根据有关法律和意识形态在纳粹国家中的作用以及第三帝国与现代主义的复杂关系的文献，讨论这些发现的影响。

Ideology and the Application of Law in SS Courts: A Case Study of Legal Practice in the Third Reich

This article provides an empirical study of the inner workings of an institution at the ideological heart of the Nazi state, the SS courts, and analyses how they applied SS law in cases involving unlawful sexual conduct, and how they evaluated the racial characteristics of SS men standing trial. The article demonstrates (1) that the SS courts promoted what has been referred to as an ‘unlimited’, radical ideology. However, the analysis will also reveal how the SS courts during the war (2) gradually climbed down from a position of ideological purity when faced with realities at the front; and (3) despite their ideological core features, in several ways operated as a legal-rational bureaucracy. Towards the end of the article, the ramifications of these findings will be discussed in light of literature concerning the role of law and ideology in the Nazi state and the Third Reich's complicated relationship with modernism.

期刊介绍： Contemporary European History covers the history of Eastern and Western Europe, including the United Kingdom, from 1918 to the present. By combining a wide geographical compass with a relatively short time span, the journal achieves both range and depth in its coverage. It is open to all forms of historical inquiry - including cultural, economic, international, political and social approaches - and welcomes comparative analysis. One issue per year explores a broad theme under the guidance of a guest editor. The journal regularly features contributions from scholars outside the Anglophone community and acts as a channel of communication between European historians throughout the continent and beyond it.
