THE LEGAL PARADOX OF EMPLOYMENT: RULES AND PRACTICES IN THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT

The political willpower to create an administrative model to be exported to every territory of the world conquered by the Reich, which qualified the juridical superiority and efficiency of economic policies, turned into a work of synthesis of the principles of National Socialist juridical theory by distinguished scholars (e.g. Wolfgang Siebert, Karl Larenz and the future Governor-General of Poland Hans Frank) and in its subsequent application to the administration of the General Government of Poland(90). Frank and his subordinates, especially the jurists most loyal to the doctrine, wanted to actualize the "real social function" of National Socialism in the variant of an occupied territory. The administration in the GG developed, albeit with different intensity in the various phases of the war, in compliance with that set of juridical and doctrinal principles which can be summarized as "National Socialist Law" and were the tools used in order to take place a serious and unbending "renewal" of the German juridical framework. The following is an introduction to a more in-depth study of the correlation between National Socialist juridical doctrine and the administration of the occupied territories, with particular attention to that singular ethnic-geographical variant represented by the GG.
