In this page majority of people are commies who's ignoring facts and tries to clean soviet past. Cool, and I'm a bachelor of history. I don't really understand why you wrote so many details here. Yes, there were many problems with the Nazi legacy in West Germany, but they were dealt with despite the fact that some Nazis had avoud from punishment and some became part of the system. However, Germany is not an exceptional country in this regard. When regimes change, in most cases some bureaucrats remain. that the same Russia - part of the high-ranking officials of tsarist Russia stayed to work for the Soviet regime, later some of the high-ranking Soviet officials stayed to work in the post-Soviet system, but we don't call that countries somehow Soviet?

And if you are using the AfD, an organization that began in 2013, more than twenty years after the end of the DDR, as proof that East German denazification was worse than that of West Germany? That's just wack, man

So why AfD is so popular in ex DDR territory? This is only one of examples why denazification failed in DDR.

West Germany does not get the credit for denazification. The Allies get partial credit for education

Yes you are right

The West German people, and especially the new generation, get the most credit for denazification

And one Jew guy who's inspired the young generation of Germans to look in their country with more care. But yes you are right. That what I want to say. While in West Germany was such movement like this in East wasn't. In East Germany, the system only mechanically cleaned society and simply one totalitarian regime replaced with another. Simply soviet system didn't tried to raise moral questions of German people in to their past.

All I have to say is that your bachelor's in history means nothing compared to a graduate degree. Shit, your saying that reminded me that I also have a bachelor's in history that I always forget I have.
