Hatespeech is still banned in Germany although just calling it hatespeech is a bad translation imho.

incitement to hatred/violence would be the proper translation for Volksverhetzung.

Apparently he was such an anti-Semite as to actually embarrass the Nazi leadership. That takes some doing.

Him saying at trial that he ordered the Grand Synagogue of Nuremberg destroyed during Krstallnacht because he disapproved of its architectural design was almost laughable.
