For a fascinating read, check chapter 7 of
Claus Bundgard Christensen,
Niels Bo Poulsen and
Peter Scharff Smith,
Genocide and Cultural Memory: The Waffen-SS, 1933 to Today. It's titled
Punishment and Discipline in the Waffen-SS: Law and Legal Practice in the Racial State. Of particular interest is the disparity in punishment policies as between the SS and the Wehrmacht. The increase in the number of executions from World War I to World War II is also startling.
