While actively funding and supporting a genocide too.

::: spoiler West Germany was never denazified.

Fully 77 percent of senior ministry officials in 1957 were former members of Adolf Hitler's Nazi party, a higher proportion even than during the 1933-45 Third Reich, the study found.

From 1949 to 1973, 90 of the 170 leading lawyers and judges in the then-West German Justice Ministry had been members of the Nazi Party.

Of those 90 officials, 34 had been members of the Sturmabteilung (SA), Nazi Party paramilitaries who aided Hitler's rise and took part in Kristallnacht, a night of violence that is believed to have left 91 Jewish people dead.

I dunno man, Germany just can't help itself from committing or supporting genocide throughout their history. Are Nazi's flying flags in Germany? No. Is Germany passing laws and carrying out foreign policy as if they were still run by Nazi's? Most definitely yes.
