Reply to comment by UdderSuckage in Protest In Berlin Over Arming Ukraine Against Russia Draws Thousands by Neo2199

Eastern Germany was never properly de-nazified like the west was. So after the unification you had hundreds of thousands of fascism sympathizers who saw themselves as victims rather than collaborators metastasize the country.

That’s backward. Many Nazi party members stayed in their jobs in the west, as judges, police chiefs, and politicians. In the East they were shunned if they were lucky. The East was heavily propagandized by the soviets of course and that’s one of the main groups that is supporting the “peace movement”, are people who for whatever reason still seem to believe in the “brother state” Russia. If you are talking about the AfD or the riots in Rostock in 1992 then I don’t think looking to 1945-1950 is the right place personally.

They shipped people to Berlin from all over germany for this. It still pulled barely enough people to fill the second smallest 3rd leage football (soccer for us) Stadium (Ursapharm-Arena an der Kaiserlinde) from SV 07 Elversberg
