Y'all are we certain West Germany actually de-nazified, or did they just claim that they did?

I know the east was denazified
A polisci guy i know claims that all the gdr nazis went right back in to power and then gets mad at me when i say that polsci is not a reputable field. Also talks about "soviet imperialism" a lot.
Poli Sci is as reputable as econ is
"We added the word 'science' to it therefore its scientific."
Computer Science moment (it's just math)
Stalin shouldn't have stopped at Berlin
Not nearly enough
Plenty enough to have a socialist government. They just weren't strong enough to violently resist the nazi invasion from the west
I don't think they claimed they did.
A bit of both. The Allies started denazification. Then the western allies and Germans who got into power (including Nazis) became less and less strict as they realized they needed some of them to build up structures of society, especially with the cold war beginning. And of course Nazis protecting Nazis.
The allies even gave some groups of Nazis weapons to prepare for a guerilla war in case Stalin invaded West Germany (see Gladio and other stay behind groups).
Not punishing Nazis for their crimes was so common that there is a word created for this specific meaning: A Nazi or collaborator basically getting pardoned or even getting the authorities formally void their offenses/atrocities: Persilschein. The word refers to a popular brand of laundry detergent, similar to the phrase"whitewashing".
When you bring receipts for the Nazi allignment of terror organizations but libs reject you. : (
What book is this pic taken from? I don’t doubt it’s true, I just want confirmation
In 1962, the Democratic German Report, an English-language journal based in the DDR, published a map listing the countries in which former members of the Nazi party were working as ambassadors for the Federal Republic of Germany. Despite the end of the Third Reich’s reign of terror, the ‘old elites’ quickly re-emerged in the young Federal Republic. Functionaries of the Hitler regime were appointed to influential positions in the judiciary, universities, the army, and corporations.
Snowballs chance in hell I’m finding something called Democratic German Report, but will update if I do.
Don’t go to 
though, they’re just doing Nazi defense
I'll dig around later too
