The transition from the normal status of National Socialist legal thinking to thinking in terms of the law of war is being accomplished without grave upheavals. . . .

The double-edged case for them has often been stated: that they have proven their abilities as teachers and scholars, and that they are urgently needed by their departments at the present time.
