THATS THE NEAT PART
THEY DIDN’T
Reminder that there were just as many — in some cases more — nazis in west Germany's government after WW2 than during the third reich.
More Nazis in West Germany’s justice department after WWII than during Third Reich
Fully 77 percent of senior ministry officials in 1957 were former members of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi party, a higher proportion even than during the 1933-45 Third Reich, the study found.
Nazis in post-WW2 Germany’s government
From 1949 to 1973, 90 of the 170 leading lawyers and judges in the then-West German Justice Ministry had been members of the Nazi Party.
Of those 90 officials, 34 had been members of the Sturmabteilung (SA), Nazi Party paramilitaries who aided Hitler’s rise and took part in Kristallnacht, a night of violence that is believed to have left 91 Jewish people dead.
One of my former coworkers married the daughter of one of nazi Wehrmacht generals. The dude literally was “rehabilitated” in whats basically an American citizenship class course then set free after he could name like 20 presidents and went on to become one of the high judges of West germany.
Oh no we’re going camp…very camp (cw campy )

I’m so sick of seeing these fake news/info producing twats/dorks with that same exact facial expression that these type of youtubers always make for some reason.
Probably a widespread cultural belief among youtoobers that the algo will promote the most extreme facial expressions.
Isn’t the English human wojack reading the script for two South American libertarians?
Hot take: Germany instantly chilling out post-WW2 should be treated as a form of Holocaust denial.
I mean, part of it did
Shout out to the Stasi
“Oh nah, these guys aren’t Nazis, they’re Not-zis! Look, ask them: Are you guys Nazis?”
‘Jawohl!’
“See, no more Nazis!”
