YSK: Denazification in West Germany was lenient and ultimately abandoned, with many Nazis remaining in positions of power.

Denazification - Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org

Very soon after the program started, due to the emergence of the Cold War, the western powers and the United States in particular began to lose interest in the program, somewhat mirroring the Reverse Course in American-occupied Japan. Denazification was carried out in an increasingly lenient and lukewarm way until being officially abolished in 1951. The American government soon came to view the program as ineffective and counterproductive. Additionally, the program was highly unpopular in West Germany, where many Nazis maintained positions of power. Denazification was opposed by the new West German government of Konrad Adenauer, who declared that ending the process was necessary for West German rearmament.

A Post-#Trump #USA will need #Detrumpization and proper #investigation of the #EpsteinFiles.

• As the very first step everyone appearing in the #Epstein Files as someone associated With #JeffreyEpstein and his #HumanTrafficking and #SexualExploitation business need to be banned fir life from owning, running, managing any business in any capacity and being a pulic servant or in public office.

  • Both retroactively!

Just like being a former Stasi officer bars people from public office in Germany!

On how Ben-Gurion helped Germany rebrand (the political history of the term “Nazi Germany”)

The 1930s have never been more relevant when considering the rise of #fascism in the United States under #Trump. While “Nazi Germany” serves as convenient shorthand, this terminology is misleading. #Hitler’s government was popular with most Germans, collaboration was widespread [the #Gestapo (today’s #ICE if you will) relying on voluntary informants since it had only one officer per 10,000 citizens], and meaningful resistance was virtually absent. After 1945, two-thirds of those hired to work in Adenauer’s Chancellery had previously belonged to the Nazi party, and #denazification officially ended in 1951 with former #Nazis returning to positions of influence.

The term “Nazi Germany” itself became a political tool. Originally popularized by German exiles in the 1930s, it was not used within #Germany and was only brought back after World War II . During the 1961 #Eichmann trial, Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion strategically weaponized this linguistic distinction. Fearing the trial would “ignite a wave of hatred of Germany among the Israeli public” and become “an obstacle to receiving economic aid from Germany,” Ben-Gurion insisted that accusations focus on “Nazi Germany, and not on the entire German nation or the Germany of 1961” .

In a March 28, 1961 letter to prosecutor Gideon Hausner, Ben-Gurion explicitly demanded the use of “Nazi Germany” rather than “Germany” alone “in order to distinguish between Germany in the past and that of the present”. This semantic sleight of hand served both Israeli economic interests and West Germany’s rehabilitation, allowing Adenauer’s government, filled with former Nazis, to claim a clean break from the past.

D'après les commentateurs "avisés" et autorisés, Trump et Zelensky aurait fait 90% du chemin vers un accord de paix...
Deux remarques :
- ce n'est pas l'Allemagne nazie vaincue qui a imposé le traité de capitulation;
- il reste 10% du chemin sur le traité voulu par les vaincus. Je ne crois pas que la Russie fera ce chemin-là et encore moins que ce traité sera le bon.
