“Nazis”, as THE only acceptable definition of the WWII bad guys, was the invention of the Soviet propaganda when they established their client state DDR, and wanted to distinguish between the “good” and the “bad” Germans. (The bad ones, the Nazis, were all in the Western sectors, needless to say. In face the East had its share of unrepentant National Socialists.) It’s caught up nicely in the West, just as the idea of “Racism”, also a Soviet propaganda anti-clonialist, anti-imperialist invention.
I understand your premise and I know how the history was changed after 1945 in East Germany, to make it almost appear as if east Germans were communist comrades waiting for liberation. The reverse was very different. Racism in and of itself certainly isn’t Russian communist creation, it’s served it’s purpose through out history any time the charge has been thrown around. I just meant “the Nazis’’, where ever they hailed from in Germany, not something that fell out of the clouds one day. It’s a kind of ‘’third-person’’ view of the history, as if to say ‘’That wasn’t us, it was those ‘’Nazis’’.
