二战结束后针对纳粹法合法性问题的反思与论战，对于现代法理学发展的推动作用是毋庸置疑的。纳粹统治期间的德国法治几乎沦为独裁与屠杀的工具，在法西斯主义的统治下，恶法亦法和恶法非法的争论不仅是理论上学派观点的争锋，更是现实中所要面临的行为选择。纽伦堡审判和德国法院对“告密者案件”的裁决，引发了关于“恶法是否仍属法律”的激烈争论，这一争论进而推动了一场具有历史意义的论战。

There is no doubt that the reflection and debate on the legality of Nazi law after the end of the Second World War contributed to the development of modern jurisprudence. The rule of law in Germany during the Nazi rule was almost reduced to a tool of dictatorship and massacre, under the rule of fascism, the argument that bad law is also law and bad law is illegal is not only a theoretical dispute between the schools of thought, but also the reality of the behavioral choices to be faced. The Nuremberg Trials and the German court's decision on the Whistleblower Case triggered a heated debate on whether evil law is still law, which in turn drove a polemic of historical significance.
