Some more thoughts: Where have all the Nazis gone? long time ago ...

Even the people failing the denazification returned after a while to average civil life, forgetting everything. With anger, fury and rage I think of a higher military judge who wrote the commentary to the anti-semitic laws in 1935, sentencing young desperate soldiers to death in the last days of the war, and ending as a respected secretary of state in the young republic. Argument: those were the days, and those were the laws. Such guys having mislead an entire young generation earned a lot of money afterwards, and the sufferers got nearly nothing!

Others started in big business, like the Support Organization of Former SS Men.

But locally their deeds were not forgotten. I heard a lot about Nazis in my home town, and I never did business with them afterwards. A gentleman keeps silent and retains himself.

Others repented sincerely; so I knew a teacher who organized meetings for students and other young people of all races and nations. His aim was that we got to know each other in all our heterogeneousness and to learn to live together in peace. So he made good for the sins of his youth "in the party."
