		The European Court of Justice has admitted it has a political mission - "the integration of Europe" - and it has dismissed the specific requests by Heads of Government to open up EU discussions to public scrutiny by stating "their declarations were of an eminently political nature and therefore not binding on community institutions".
		The Volksgerichtshof system benefited from examples of this - A law was passed on 29th March 1933 authorising the death sentence to be applied to crimes committed after 3lst January 1933; and following the expansion of "German territory" through conquest e.g.
		The President of the Volksgerichtshof made no secret of the political nature of the court and the necessity that "the application of the law of the highest political court must be in accord with the leadership of the state.

		But then again, Orff had already composed music for this play as early as 1917 and 1927, long before this was a favour for the Nazi government.
		Orff was a personal friend of Kurt Huber, one of the founders of the resistance movement Die Weiße Rose (the White Rose), and who was condemned to death by the Volksgerichtshof and executed by the Nazis in 1943.
		After World War II, Orff claimed that he was a member of the group, and was himself involved in the resistance, but there was no evidence for this other than his own word, and other sources dispute his claim.

		The groundwork on which this rise was built was not merely that Thierack had been a Nazi Party member, but rather also that he had been leader of the National Socialist jurists' organization, the so-called Rechtswahrerbund.
		On 12 May 1933, having been appointed Saxony's justice minister, it was Thierack's job to "Nazify" justice, which was a part of the Nazis' Gleichschaltung that he had to put into practice in Saxony.
		He held this job, interrupted as it was by two stints in the armed forces, until 1942, when he was succeeded in the position by Roland Freisler.

		At any rate, in 1935, trials for treason would have taken place before the Volksgerichtshof, a court which was specifically set up for political and similar offences in 1934 because the existing courts were not thought to be "reliable" enough.
		The Volksgerichtshof was destroyed in the war, and all its judgments declared null and void by a later statute.
		Some footage of court proceedings have survived, though, namely films which were secretly made during the trials of those who attempted to assassinate Hitler on 20 July 1944.

		Propagandaminister Joseph Goebbels tadelte daraufhin Roland Freisler und meldete den Vorfall an Hitler, der seinerseits den unverzüglichen Parteiausschluss von Oswald Freisler verfügte.
		Der Volksgerichtshof war 1934 zur Verhandlung von Hochverrats- und Landesverratssachen errichtet worden; später wurde die Zuständigkeit auf andere Staatsschutzdelikte erweitert.
		Deshalb gab es für den Volksgerichtshof zum Schutz des kämpfenden Volkes und Reiches nur eine gerechte Strafe, die Todesstrafe (...) Durch ihren Verrat an unserem Volk haben die Angeklagten ihre Bürgerrechte für immer verwirkt.

		To «expedite the matter» he appointed the bloodthirsty president of the Volksgerichtshof, the People’s Tribunal, Roland Freisler.
		The manhunt by agents of the Volksgerichtshof began the very evening of the attempt, and in the course of a few weeks led to the arrest of six hundred people.
