What are the main arguments of the Bavarian Hunting Association (BJV) against the government's decree?

The BJV argued the new decree was almost identical to the invalidated one, violating court orders. The court's suspension is pending a full review of the Federal Administrative Court's written ruling to determine if the same grounds for invalidity apply. The Upper Bavarian government maintained that a new regulation is essential for preserving protective forests, which shield settlements and infrastructure from natural hazards.

How did the Bavarian healthcare system adapt to post-war democratic norms, given its central role in Nazi medical atrocities?

After World War II, the Bavarian healthcare system, a key executor of Nazi racial policies, showed a troubling pattern of adaptation rather than genuine reform. Despite the atrocities committed under the Nazis—persecution of Jewish and political opponents, forced sterilizations and abortions, and participation in war crimes—the medical administration strategically maintained its power by subtly shifting justifications, avoiding direct confrontation with its past.
