Hitler's Prisons: Legal Terror in Nazi Germany is a 2004 book by Nikolaus Wachsmann , a modern European history professor. Wachsmann argues that the Nazi judiciary played a key role in Nazi terror. The prison systems inflicted harsh punishments against Jews, homosexuals and Jehovah's Witnesses while enforcing Nazi racial policies. ^[1] Wachsmann describes how law enforcement promoted the Nazi and terror acts in Germany before and during World War II ^[2] and each chapter describes a specific topic relating to political prisoner terror. The book illuminates the bureaucratic and institutional history of prisons and the history of inmates themselves. ^{[3] [4] [5] [6] [7]}
