Fun fact: quite a lot of former nazis were assigned as leading officers for the Bundeswehr, when Germany joined the NATO in 1955.
To put it in Germany’s first chancellor’s words:
What else do you want me to do? Do you want me to send 15 years old kids as generals to the NATO?
There were a LOT of posts in Germany that were filled with former Nazis. Army officers, lawyers, judges, police officers, etc.
All those posts were required, and Germany didn’t have any other options to fill those spots.
