Very soon after the program started, due to the emergence of the Cold War, the western powers and the United States in particular began to lose interest in the program, somewhat mirroring the Reverse Course in American-occupied Japan. Denazification was carried out in an increasingly lenient and lukewarm way until being officially abolished in 1951. The American government soon came to view the program as ineffective and counterproductive. Additionally, the program was highly unpopular in West Germany, where many Nazis maintained positions of power. Denazification was opposed by the new West German government of Konrad Adenauer, who declared that ending the process was necessary for West German rearmament.



Israel was a product of the British and French antisemites of WW1.
There were Zionist Jews who tried to join WW2 on the side of the Nazis, but the Nazis told them to fuck off.
That particular group, Lehi, then just adopted Nazi race science but swapped themselves in as “God’s Chosen People”.
This made the group especially murderous.
In the 1980s, a former Leader of Lehi became the Israeli Prime Minister and oversaw a fairly brutal period of oppression of the Palestinians.
That particular asshole was also Netanyahu’s political mentor.
But no, the Rat Line did not go to Israel, or Mandatory Palestine as it was known as before 1949.
