no, the soviets did that, after years of brits appeasing them and hoping to use them as a genocidal cudgel against the USSR :)
Brits and Americans simply took credit for what soviets did and immediately began the process of rehabilitating West Germany and integrating "former" nazis into prominent positions in NATO, the EU, various national intelligence agencies, the IMF, the world bank, and the UN.
The term "ex-nazi" is widely misused. Sure, people like Oskar Schindler who realised the errors of their way and did their best to stop Nazism are deserving of the term but Nazis who saw they had lost the war and realised that wearing a swastika armband would be bad for their careers were still as Nazi as before, they were just less in your face about it.
Remember when we beat the Nazis?
Now let's destroy our country to support them
