  • To what extent was the failure of denazification in Germany 1945-48 a result of the apathy of the allies?

      Historian article
    To blame the failure of the denazification process in postwar Germany entirely on a vague and generalised concept such as apathy is simplistic and does not stand up to serious scrutiny. Denazification was one of the most ambitious attempts ever at provoking an artificial revolution; it is reasonable to assume...
