1946 Denazification Questionnaire
editI would like to add in some details about the 1946 denazification questionnaire. An image of the document as well as the origins, purpose, and the controversy of how Nazis should be reintegrated/rehabilitated. I chose this topic for a class assignment because of my interest in the denazification process. This is my first time adding to/editing a wikipedia article, so any input would be much appreciated. I plan to discuss OMGUS and there involvement with the creation of the questionnaire. General Lucius Clay and John J. McCloy's different approach on denazification, as well as there influence on the OMGUS. I also want to discuss the five different categories of Nazi's (highlighting major offenders). Lastly, mention the goal of reintegration and how certain denazification methods were softened over the years. Skylermurphy (talk) 22:52, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
New "background"/"origin" section?
editCurrently the article does not have a section about the origins of and planning for denazification. But since it is mentioned in the lead I think it should be expanded upon in the body. Perhaps the contents of the "overview" section should be split up and integrated into the lead and the new section. Veryspecific (talk) 19:30, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
Posthumous Denazification?
editSomething could be said if there were cases of posthumous denazification and what its mechanics were. In the German wiki article on the Berlin Invalid's Cemetery, it mentions a lawsuit (during early decade 2000s) brought by the daughter of Nazi engineer Fritz Todt, head of labour Organization Todt which used forced labour as well as volunteers, who was killed in 1942 and given burial there by Hitler. Post WWII his gravestone was removed for political reasons but his daughter applied for a 'restitution stone' to re-mark his grave which was granted in 2004, on grounds she claimed he had been 'posthumously denazified' - although by 2007 the stone was re-removed.Cloptonson (talk) 09:32, 7 August 2025 (UTC)
the source listed does not appear to have this claim on the page provided
edit"whilst 13.6% of senior SED officials in Thuringia were former members of the Nazi Party"
I am not sure if it is somewhere else in the book but when I looked at the book on open library it does not have this particular statistic on the page listed on the citation I tried searching for it elsewhere in the book but I could not find it so I am not sure if it is just somewhere else in the book or not in that source at all.
