Best Answer

No. In 1933 when a number of SS men were charged with murder for killing the inmates of concentration camps, Himmler intervened. He not only had all the charges dropped but established the principle that SS men were immune from prosecution for killings of concentration camp inmates.

No, the Holocaust had no legal basis whatsoever. It was simply based on the well known psychopathic principle of "We do what we can get away with". (In the very early days of Nazi rule some SS men were charged with murder, but Himmler had the charges dropped and obtained immunity from prosecution for concentration camp staff under ordinary German laws. Coroners were also prevented from investigating deaths in camps).
