Seeing as some left to Argentina or were recruited by the US and the USSR for NASA, no they never were de-Nazified, they just wiped the blood off their name tags.
Yep, prominent Nazis were even given leadership of NATO, such as Adolf Heusinger. The Soviets ended up being far harsher to the Nazis, hence why so many fled to Latin America to get away. Makes sense, considering the absolute devastation the Nazis wrought on the Soviets and the 20 million Soviet lives the Nazis took, and how comparatively little the US saw, as the 2 major powers emerging from World War II.
"No you can't bring up that NATO had actual Nazis with blood on their hands as leaders! Especially ones that tried to make a new Waffen-SS in the 50s! That's unfair!"
When are you moving to russia? It is one of the most denazified countries in the world right now, after all.
Surely they don't have a Neo-Nazi party office right now, right? No party called the AfD that does that?
Surely.
Yes. The exact same that cozies up to russia and praises United Russia politics.
The same one.
Avert your eyes to all evidence of taking russian blood money as well.
Deploy another argument!
So AfD is a good party that isn't practicing the xenophobic and hateful policies of Neo-Nazis? Musk doesn't love them?
I was told by a German person on this very site that they'd never go right wing again because of a unique type of centrism in the country that's hugely popular and that my tiny American brain couldn't comprehend. Oh well, guess that's just another common centrist L.
To be fair, Germany is still far better off than the US or some other European countries. In the national election that just happened, the far right party won about 20% of the votes and the (traditionally) centre-right party won while moving further to the right. That said they're still about as far right as the Democrats in the US.
It's just that Germans are on alert about the rise of fascism and are raising the alarm bells now, before the fascist actually take over control.
"Centrists stand for the status quo, they would never change for the worse."
"What if the worse is the status quo and normalized with decades of propaganda and brainwashing?"
"That could never happen!"
Average centrist L.
