> There has never been a serious discussion in Germany about its failed post-WW2 denazification programme, history got in the way. I am quite skeptical as to „never“. The example you give is an infuriating one and there are too many of those. But that there has been no discussion about de-nazification is simply not true. In academia the topic definitely has been dealt with. See for example this article by the Centre for political education [0] which I consider an example of making this available to the public. Also these efforts didn’t happen in a vacuum, Europe and Germany was in ruins, the allies wanted to wrap them up as well. Ironically the Sowjets were more drastic than the Western allies with their efforts, and we’ve ended up with a second totalitarian regime in Eastern Germany. They’ve even re-used the concentration camps. Anyhow. I remember talking about this in school and critically discussing the History of Germany in the last century. We must not forget, we must not repeat.
