Posting this tonight for no particular reason:

"Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.

That word is 'Nazi.' Nobody cares about their motives anymore."

@jik @JuliusGoat we did not punish the Nazis hard enough, I think we should have put all members of the Nazi Party and willing supporters of the Nazi War Effort to death

Interestingly each Allied sector ran its own denazification program; there were levels of Nazi long before Operation Paperclip .

One would imagine that the French and the Soviets were the most thorough.
