Yeah, I think a lot of people would say that one's actions post-war are worth some weight in the equation, and culturally this person was positioned so as to not only make a big positive contribution in that quite separate context as far as values go, but a contribution which was also part of "our side" of a pitched cultural battle which is still raging. So like, how Nazi could you still be, in that actions-speaking sense. Plus, people-controversy is a topic that's actively avoided in writing for a lot of audiences, especially if it invites fault-spreading, like if it's going to end up as a big whataboutism-fest. Difficult topic in its way. Including of course the WW2-and-prior way involving terrible aspects like forced labor working under him, etc. So, less of a defense of a person here and more of a guess about rationale in authorship.
