- PROBLEMS OF DENAZIFICATION
- Germans who had lived through the Third Reich, were defensive over their participation in the Nazi state.
- Many tried to disassociate themselves from the Nazi regime, and resented the 'prying' investigations into their past.
- There were difficulties to find PROOF, of identifying the GUILTY and determine their punishments
- This is because many had thrown their Nazi membership cards away.
- The original plan of disallowing important jobs to former Nazis, was ignored
- This was due to the need of EXPERTS, such as engineers and administrators to REBUILD German Society.
- Continuing historical debate
- Historian Daniel Goldhagen argued that anti-Semitism was deeply rooted in German mentality
- This responded to Christopher Browning's Ordinary Men book.
- Browning concluded that many of the perpetrators of the Holocaust were acting out of obedience to authority, rather than german characteristic
