People keep comparing what we're seeing now to Nazi Germany. They're not wrong. The resemblance is undeniable. (cdn.social.linux.pizza)

If you look at the denazification program the Soviets did in East Germany, and then look at the lack of such efforts by the Allies in West Germany, you get a better understanding of the different approach by each side to Nazis.

Exactly, Soviets wanted to wipe them out, while Allies took them in. Soviets are by far the real heroes.

Did you miss the part where operation paper clip was a race against the Soviets to take the most intellectual talent? They were giving the right people passes too. The ideological war was long over and the existential war around nukes was just getting going. Everyone wanted those scientists.

Yeah except the Soviets already were AHEAD in the science department, remember ??

They were the ones that started the space-race. Oh & those "scientists" were Nazis.
