This is somewhat false. Not everything was legal, such as the beer hall psuch. And the bad things that were legal were only legal in the German legal system. International law still made them illegal.
only illegal because germany lost the war
Fair. But [the actions were] still illegal under different contexts. I think that a lot of liberals tend to assume that "the law" is consistent in more ways than it is (~0 ways).
if germany won the war. international law would not be the same as it is now. laws only work if people agree they should work.
Exactly.
A lot of what has been prosecuted in the Nuremberg trials has been made illegal after the war by the London Charter. So in theory it wasn't illegal to invade neutral countries.
