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

Shit like this is why I shake my heads at dumbasses going “Just you wait ICE agents! Things didn’t work out too well for all the former Nazi’s who tried to say they were ‘just following orders’!”

Yes things actually did turn out just fine for the overwhelming majority of Nazi’s. Only like a couple dozen faced any sort of consequences. The rest quietly returned to their lives as machinists, butchers, office workers, farmers, etc.
