Wehrmacht and SS- and Police Courts in Norway during World War II
German Wehrmacht courts played a central role as instruments of occupation in Norway during World War II. Both Norwegian civilians and German soldiers were brought before military tribunals, and the punishments handed out were often very severe. This project investigates the sentencing practices of these courts and compares them to the prosecution carried out by the SS and Polizeigericht Nord (IX).
