In the 1930s, Forsthoff was among the jurists such as Carl Schmitt, Karl Larenz, Theodor Maunz and Herbert Krüger who endeavoured to legitimise the Nazi regime through their writings.
Forsthoff was a leading author of the Constitution of Cyprus and was president of the Supreme Constitutional Court of Cyprus from 1960 to 1963.

Well, if you can legitimize the Nazi regime, you can legitimize a "democratic" Constitution that denies majority rule. Did the GC press ever make an issue of this ?
