How much were members of the SS subjects to the same law enforcement and administration as comparable german citizens during the 3rd Reich?
Looking at the papers of an individual SS-member, I was surprised about some letters concerning a trial. He was accused of dangerous negligence while driving, leading to serious injuries and monetary damage. But this crime seems to have been handled entirely inside the party organization (verdict was by der H-Richter beim Reichsführer SS), or at least subject to SS-leadership's approval. Which is surprising for a traffic incident, even if it's a SS-man on the way to his SS-subdivision job. So how much of law enforcement and administration was different for SS-members (or NSDAP members)? Could they be tried at normal courts, or would special SS-courts prosecute any crimes they committed?
