    Yes, that thing was particular to West Germany.

    East Germany had lots of the same in its bureaucratic and generally not very “political” parts. Its politicians, yes, didn’t include that kind of people. But unlike mother USSR it had a facade of pluralism, where one of the allowed parties was, again, very close to moderate Nazis.

      Interesting. I could only imagine this as a kind of controlled opposition, but I’d be interested in learning more about it.
