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?

        There’s a lot more that really indicates the nazi nature of both West Germany and the USA, like many Jews in concentration camps were kept in them for months and even more than a year for some after the end of the war. This was because West Germany didn’t want them and neither did any other European countries or the USA. The Nazi POWs were also put in those camps… And put in charge of the Jews left there. Many Jews died in those camps long after the war ended.

        Just real dark Fourth Reich shit.

          I’ve seen many liberals claim that “the Soviets didn’t really liberate the concentration camps in their territory, they just put them under new management.”

          Amazing how they manage to project every single time.

            Somebody dropped this YT video into the megathread yesterday with a timestamp to a very relevant Scott Ritter story: https://youtu.be/eTNxOgm1zc4?t=2429

            The story is about growing up in postwar West Germany and encountering work gangs made up of orphans from the war who had been used as slave labor by the Nazis, nobody in Europe wanted them and nobody in West Germany wanted them, the USA didn’t want them… so West Germany kept them in work camps and kept using them as basically slave labor.
