Same with West Germany.
How different was East Germany in your opinion?
Their 4 "allowed" political parties included 1 moderately Nazi.
Also USSR supported the so-called Socialist Imperial Party in West Germany, until it was banned there. Well, that's only few years, so.
I'm not familiar tbh. I just learned about how lots of Nazis remained or were placed in politically powerful positions by the west, often out of a desire to suppress communism.
Yes, that thing was particular to West Germany.
East Germany had lots of the same in its bureaucratic and generally not very "political" parts. Its politicians, yes, didn't include that kind of people. But unlike mother USSR it had a facade of pluralism, where one of the allowed parties was, again, very close to moderate Nazis.
Interesting. I could only imagine this as a kind of controlled opposition, but I'd be interested in learning more about it.
