!!!Standgerichte

Court Martial: The establishment of extraordinary courts to combat 
serious offences against law and order and public security was allowed 
under the Code of Civil Procedure of 1873 and abolished by the Federal 
Constitutional law of 1968. Jurisdiction was vested in those courts of 
first instance on whose district martial law was imposed. Decisions 
were taken by a panel of four professional judges in simplified 
proceedings and consisted mostly in imposing the death penalty, which 
was executed immediately after the pronouncement of the sentence.
