yes. a skilled prosecutor or persecutor could easily persuade an audience of either one, possibly both, at different points in time.
MANY nazis went on to become communists in east germany once the soviets moved in. they were, in fact, BOTH NAZIS AND COMMUNISTS.
i take it you've never really sat down and thought through some of your assumptions of the history of ww2 / europe / asia / america. i urge you to do so one day. it can be quite stimulating.
for example, did you know china was an ally in world war 2, while japan was an enemy?
crazy, i know.

I enjoy your condescension. It reminds me of why on Lesswrong, we say 'politics is the mindkiller'. Here we have a simple situation in which people with foreign ties often become spies and this justifies extra investigation, and people are going berserk and engaged in all sort of motivated reasoning. > for example, did you know china was an ally in world war 2, while japan was an enemy? Yes. I have more shocking information for you: Soviet Russia was an ally in WWII too.
