    It has a lot to do with failed denazification, because largely (minus a handful of very vile high profile individuals) the very same “justice” system that was administering Nazi injustices during the 3rd Reich did continue to operate just as if nothing had happened afterwards. It is no coincidence that it took until the 1960s for the first German war crimes trial to take place, because by then, a sufficiently high number of old Nazis in the justice system had retired to even make this possible.
