There's a reason why everyone who wasn't hanged during the trials ended up getting out of prison in just a couple of years. Nato and West Germany needed buerocrats, and what's a couple genocides between friends?
Am skeptical of this concept. bureaucrats abound. Fash not required.
and let me tell you how to remember spelling of this word: it has "eau" like "beauty". Remember there is beauty in bureauracy and the rest of the letters fall in place.
Sorry if this wasn't clear, but i was being facetious, obviously there was no material reason why West Germany or NATO needed a bunch of allegedly former Nazis staffing the bureaucracy, i think the more immediately causal factor was just political apathy among the western powers for keeping all of the middle managers in prison compared to the east, and when they got out they went back to what they were doing before, managing in the middle and climbing the social ladder, the exception being a few Nazis with very specific skills or knowledge like Von Braun and Heusinger.
