Abstract

The author reconstructs aspects of the West German purge following the collapse of the Ddr and reunification of Germany. He contests the utility of studies of the judicial decisions in a period of transition that underline the political aspects of the change of regime, as well focuse the analysis of the purge procedures in the short term. He shows how many decisions of a juridical nature have longer-term origins, and are the consequence of changes in the law, starting with the trials for the crimes committed by the Nazis and in particular the Eichmann trial.
