Principle of leadership


Führerprinzip principle - the principle of exercising power in the Third Reich.

The principle of leadership was characterized by a strictly hierarchical structure of power, the principle of full obedience to a leader who was identified with the state, absolute obedience to commandments of superiors and conviction of their infallibility, dependence and responsibility towards the lords, and the paranoid cult of the leader.

In Nazi Germany, the application of the principle of leadership led to the fact that the oral orders and decisions of Hitler or Himmler were of equal power to the written law. Such decisions did not require confirmation in the documents and were a further basis for further executive orders. The "legal power" was also obtained by the draft executive regulations developed by the relevant executive bodies after the oral approval of the Nazi leaders of the Third Reich. After 1945, many of the Nazi criminals were explaining their crimes to obedience to the principle of leadership.
