Seriously though, the USA is virtually always bad.

    But as I understand it,

    you have demonstrated over and over again that your understanding is woefully incomplete, almost cartoonishly shallow

      Since Nazi Germany had conscription, I’d image it’d be hard to find anyone in Germany who wasn’t a Nazi. But as I understand it, there was actual systematic denazification that kept the government on track.

      Seems like you didn’t have a good response to this point, would you like to try again?

        It’s not worth responding to blatant lies, West Germany did not have “actual systematic denazification”, their government was staffed with Nazis and they literally had a Nazi general as head of NATO. This is akin to burying your head in the sand and complaining that people aren’t helping you see.

        There was no “systemic denazification”. We killed a few figureheads, then put the rest back into power, and into NATO leadership. West Germany was a Nazi country.

          The soviets did a much more thorough job of denazification. How did that work out for the people of east Germany?

          Is Germany still a nazi country now? If not, when did it stop being a nazi country?

            Are you asking about the political implications of denazification for East Germany?

            I’d say that the fact that Nazis were effectively eradicated in East Germany is proof enough that it turned out well for them.

            Or are you concern-trolling about the Berlin Wall or the economic underdevelopment of east Germany comparative to West Germany devoid of any historical context or something like that?

            Yes.

            How did that work out for the people of east Germany?

            Good, GDR was a much better place to live for the non-wealthy. Far better education, quality of life, women’s rights, transportation, etc.

            Are you just a Nazi? What is even your implication here? That nazis in power make things better and removing them is bad?
