Until well into the 1970s, the entire Bundeswehr and NATO's West Germany leadership were Nazis. I don't mean they were nationalists voting for whatever the proto AfD was, I mean that they were all actual card carrying Nazis who, prior to gaining their posts in 1945, had been shooting Allied troops and committing genocide, yet somehow avoided Nuremberg
For 30 years post war, the Bundeswehr was essentially just the Wehrmacht all over again in all but name
..Eleven? Is that fucking it? 73 million dead, 17 million mass murdered, as enabled and enacted by hundreds of thousands of willing Nazi officers - 24 put on trial, and only 11 got the death penalty? THAT'S IT??
I was always taught the Nuremberg Trials were a big thing where they really dealt out justice. It should instead be renowned as the most useless pitiful pretense of an event pretending to deal out even the minorest amount of justice. I see there were subsequent trials, but the amount of people convicted is still utterly pitiful.
I pointed out to the lib i work with that NATO's head had been an actual Nazi and his response was "he says he was forced into it"; ah well then that settles it.
