A somewhat common statement that I see made by internet leftists is that the denazification of Germany didn't go far enough. What is the history behind this assertion? Where can I read more about it?

    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

      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.
