"Das Verfahren wird eingestellt" – die strafrechtliche Verfolgung von Denunziation aus dem Nationalsozialismus nach 1945 in den Westzonen und in der frühen BRD

Der Beitrag untersucht einige Prozesse (Landgericht Osnabrück) in der Nachkriegszeit der Bundesrepublik Deutschland wegen Denunziation, um die Probleme einer Vergangenheitsbewältigung mit rechtlichen Mitteln zu verdeutlichen. Die Autorin zeigt, dass der Blick der Justiz auf Denunziationen nicht nur rückwärtsgewandt war und sich auf die Debatte um das 'Rückwirkungsverbot' beschränkte. Vertreter der Justiz lehnten die Verfolgung von NS-Denunziationen aufgrund des Rückwirkungsverbots ab, wollten jedoch gleichzeitig auf rechtmäßige Anzeigen 'wahrer Tatsachen' als Mittel der Strafverfolgung nicht verzichten. So wurde bereits hier, ausgerechnet vor dem Hintergrund der Diskussionen über NS-Denunziationen, wieder Weichen gestellt, um 'positiv' besetzte Denunziationen weiterhin in den Dienst der Strafverfolgungsbehörden stellen zu können. (ICA)'West Germany's post-war judiciary faced a dilemma in criminally judging Nazi denunciation. This dilemma consisted of a ban against the retroactive application of new laws, as well as of an objection against relinquishing reports of 'true facts'. Contemporary jurists viewed the motives leading to a denunciation as morally reprehensible, but not necessarily as deserving of criminal punishment. The motives were therefore regarded as irrelevant in the context of criminal prosecutions. This draws attention to the ambiguous nature of the terms 'denunciation' and 'report', and highlights the difference between judging a denunciation morally and legally. This essay provides of an overview of the legal precedents and scholarly debate in post-war Germany, with a special emphasis on the difficulties presented to German courts by the Control Council Law No.l0. Subsequently it will show that the judiciary's attention concerning the problem of denunciation was not only focused on the past. The background of denunciation during Germany's National Socialist past also provided a setting in which to consider the possibility of using 'positive' denunciations - or 'reports' - for criminal prosecution in the future.'

"Nur mit der Todesstrafe gerecht gesühnt": Aufstieg und sanfter Fall eines Wehrmachtrichters

"The Wehrmacht's penal court system served to maintain the functionality of the Wehrmacht and was, therefore, an element of the war of annihilation. The essay enquires into the course of the careers of the actors in the Wehrmacht's judicial system. Exemplarily, the career path of a judge from the Regional Court of Appeals in Hamburg to the military justice system and back to the civilian justice system is analysed. Thereby, the reintegration of the NS judges into the Federal Republic of Germany, a state founded on the rule of the law, is discussed. By combining the biography of this Wehrmacht judge with his sentencing, the room for maneuvering available to the actors of the Wehrmacht's judicial system is explained. Only after long political debates an attempt was made in the late 1950's to determine the NS incrimination of numerous judges in the judicial service of the Federal Republic. However, the realization of these investigations remained insufficient and, often, without any consequences." (author's abstract

Public transfrontalier : attentes et réalités

Cette étude consacrée au public allemand du Vaisseau, l’équipement de diffusion de la culture scientifique et technique implanté à Strasbourg, montre comment le biculturalisme, pris en compte dès la phase de conception de l’établissement, a permis d’adapter l’offre (expositions, animations…) en fonction des habitudes et des mœurs des deux pays et de faire de la structure un lieu d’échanges entres cultures tout en représentant un atout important pour son développement

Plantar load transfer in children: a descriptive study with two pathological case studies

Abstract Background Typical gait is often considered to be highly symmetrical, with gait asymmetries typically associated with pathological gait. Whilst gait symmetry is often expressed in symmetry ratios, measures of symmetry do not provide insight into how these asymmetries affect gait variables. To fully understand changes caused by gait asymmetry, we must first develop a normative database for comparison. Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe normative reference values of regional plantar load and present comparisons with two pathological case studies. Methods A descriptive study of the load transfer of plantar pressures in typically developed children was conducted to develop a baseline for comparison of the effects of gait asymmetry in paediatric clinical populations. Plantar load and 3D kinematic data was collected for 17 typically developed participants with a mean age of 9.4 ± 4.0 years. Two case studies were also included; a 10-year-old male with clubfoot and an 8-year-old female with a flatfoot deformity. Data was analysed using a kinematics-pressure integration technique for anatomical masking into 5 regions of interest; medial and lateral forefoot, midfoot, and medial and lateral hindfoot. Results Clear differences between the two case studies and the typical dataset were seen for the load transfer phase of gait. For case study one, lateral bias was seen in the forefoot of the trailing foot across all variables, as well as increases in contact area, force and mean pressure in the lateral hindfoot of the leading foot. For case study two, the forefoot of the trailing foot produced results very similar to the typical dataset across all variables. In the hindfoot of the leading foot, medial bias presents most notably in the force and mean pressure graphs. Conclusions This study highlights the clinical significance of the load transfer phase of gait, providing meaningful information for intervention planning
