Um what?! You seem to know very little about post-war bureaurcats in West Germany. They failed completely at de-nazifying then country.

Example, the first secret service (Organisation Gehlen, precursor to BND) was headed by a Wehrmacht general. The CIA put him there and didn't care. He was useful against the Soviets.

Even the first chancellor (Adenauer) eas basically blind on the right eye.

The East was much more effective in de-nazifying, sometimes a little too eager even. (And Adenauer refused to accept even the existence of the East German state. Surprise.)
