This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Sorry but west germany will be forever stained
Luckily east germany refused to be stained, and instead deposited all the blame and collective guilt with west germany.
"The war? That was their fault... over there" says the former nazi member pointing westward while biting into a Spreewalder Gurke during his lunchbreak from a cigarette factory, where he serves as Cultural Officer.
Yeah eastern germany wasn't great either but atleast they were limited to cultural officer at a cigarette factory instead of government office or a fucking seat of authority in NATO yk? The whole country is tainted in my eyes though. Denazification was an utter failure, it was barely even attempted.
Didn't the USSR actually punish Nazis in Eest Germany though?
Unlike the allies who just imported them to their own countries
Some, sure, and those typically harshly. Similar to the USSR & GDR, many party members were just ordinary people, where party membership was necessary or useful for their work life, and supporting the wrong party could cost you everything.
