Law for Restoration of the Professional Civil Service 
 The Law, promulgated on April 7, 1933, aimed at converting the civil service into a “national” apparatus and to facilitate the retirement of all persons whom the regime deemed undesirable. It permitted the dismissal of functionaries who had entered service during the Weimar days (after November 9, 1918) and required the dismissal or retirement of all civil servants who were of non-Aryan origin. The first regulation under the new statute defined a non-Aryan as anyone who had at least one non-Aryan grandparent.
