It's a byproduct of the way the GDR was dissolved. The west Germans went through a rough time when they attempted to de-nazify themselves.
East Germany completely skipped that part. Thanks to the weird GDR indoctrination we know have a weird blob of underlying extremism. Fucking sucks and the right wing party gets an unfortunate amount of support because of it and the current politicians.
That is absolutely not true, the de-nazification in east Germany, was much more thoroughly than in the west.
I beg to differ. It stopped shortly after the war in east and west. But the west had 1968 and in the GDR the older generation was never asked what they did in the war. All the nazis had gone to the west by definition.
