How one judge pursued Nazi Germany's worst murderers, from inside the SS.

In the Third Reich, the SS ran the Gestapo, the police and the concentration camps where millions of people were killed. However Nazi Germany still had laws and a legal system which outlawed murder and other criminal acts and SS Investigating Judge and Police Official SS, Major Konrad Morgen, used these laws to investigate and bring individual members of the SS to justice for their crimes against innocent victims.

He was a fearless judge and investigator, and when he crossed swords with more powerful forces inside the SS he was demoted and sent by the Reichsfhrer Heinrich Himmler himself to the Eastern Front as an ordinary soldier in the Waffen SS.

But his investigative skills were still needed and he returned to launch a series of criminal investigations in concentration camps. As a direct result of his investigations two concentration camp commandants were shot before the end of the War and he arrested three others.

This book describes the cases he investigated and how he was able to pursue some of Nazi Germany's worst murderers from inside the SS.
