Rules for SS-Fahnenflucht -- Nazi laws for SS desertion

  • Hello dear friends,

    I would like to know if anyone can help me understand the nazi laws on SS desertion. My soldier was executed in 1945 for "Fahnenflucht" but he was caught already in 1936 for desertion.

    Why didn't they execute him the first time? He was sent to concentration camps and then we was re-integrated into the army.

    I would appreciate any insight you could offer!

    Danke Schon!!!
