His position was almost compromised by his brother Oswald, who committed suicide after being expelled from the party for opposing Hitler's plans, but this failed to directly impact Freisler, although Hitler did reject [[Joseph Goebbels|Joseph Goebbels']] proposal to make Freisler the justice minister due to allegations that he was a communist sympathizer. | His position was almost compromised by his brother Oswald, who committed suicide after being expelled from the party for opposing Hitler's plans, but this failed to directly impact Freisler, although Hitler did reject [[Joseph Goebbels|Joseph Goebbels']] proposal to make Freisler the justice minister due to allegations that he was a communist sympathizer. | ||

His racism and support for the Nazi ideology was so great that he even stated the [[Jim Crow laws]] in place in the USA at the time were "primitive" as he felt they didn't do enough to oppress black people. He was also present at the 1942 Wannsee Conference which started the Holocaust in order to provide legal advice on the destruction of Jewry throughout the world. | ||
When Hitler made [[Otto Georg Thierack]] the justice minister, Freisler replaced him as president of the people's court, a position he used to try and utterly destroy crime with almost no chance of acquittal to the point where just being charged in Freisler's court was pretty much a death sentence, particularly as Freisler acted as judge and jury, meaning the person being prosecuted would almost always be found guilty. In fact, 90% of defendants in his court were sentenced to death, including members of the White Rose Movement (a group that organised protests against the Nazi regime), who were executed by beheading, and several men who attempted to kill Hitler during The July Plot, who he personally attacked and sentenced to hang. He once ordered the torture and execution of Helmuth Hübener for writing anti-Nazi leaflets, even though Hübener was only seventeen and the [[Gestapo]] had recommended he be spared. Freisler was also known to alter the transcripts of trials to make people seem more guilty. | When Hitler made [[Otto Georg Thierack]] the justice minister, Freisler replaced him as president of the people's court, a position he used to try and utterly destroy crime with almost no chance of acquittal to the point where just being charged in Freisler's court was pretty much a death sentence, particularly as Freisler acted as judge and jury, meaning the person being prosecuted would almost always be found guilty.
