Stasi und DDR-Militärjustiz: Der Einfluss des Ministeriums für Staatssicherheit auf Strafverfahren und Strafvollzug in der Militärjustiz der DDR

The Stasi played a far more extensive role in the judiciary, legislation, and judicial cadre policy than previously recognized. This work describes the conspiratorial aspect of the Stasi's investigations, its scripted preparations for the penal process in military tribunals, and its verbal and written arrangements with the Court and state prosecutors. It shows that the Stasi had full control of the penal system in military courts.
