Denazification (German: Entnazifizierung) was an Allied initiative to rid German and Austrian society, culture, press, economy, judiciary, and politics of the Nazi ideology following the Second World War. It was carried out by removing those who had been Nazi Party or SS members from positions of power and influence, by disbanding or rendering impotent the organizations associated with Nazism, and by trying prominent Nazis for war crimes in the Nuremberg trials of 1946. The program of denazification was launched after the end of the war and was solidified by the Potsdam Agreement in August 1945. The term, in the hyphenated form de-nazification, was first used in 1943 by the Pentagon, intended to be applied in a narrow sense with reference to the post-war German legal system. However, it later took on a broader meaning, according to historian Frederick Taylor.
I just wish they’d done a more thorough job of it.
I hope we last long enough to get to do this in the states. Asshole is putting himself fucking everywhere.
After the Civil War, if this kind of thing (not unlike rebuilding Japan, I guess) had been done in the States, then all kinds of tragedies might have been averted, including what’s happening today.
Instead we got… Johnson’ed.
Another way of denazifying is to identify the leaders and strip them of all assets and force them to live below the poverty line. Let their hell be living in the system that they made.
Let them sleep in the beds they made, see the ‘doctors’ they employed, and the ‘showers’ they installed.
Then hang them.
