The problem post war was that many thousands of erstwhile NAZI war criminals were spirited into the US under the program called PAPERCLIP. SS officers like Werner von Braun, & others who committed serious war crimes, were brought to the US to aid in the Cold War vs USSR.https://twitter.com/marksmall1973/status/1320140264959299585 …

I think you are absolutely right. It’s of course a gross miscarriage of justice that so many war criminals got off. Many to America, some to USSR, some just blending in. In the 1950’s it was a Cold War joke to wonder if their Germans were smarter than our Germans. But not funny
The point I was making earlier - in context of US today - is "every day" authoritarians, who take no responsibility for their conduct, will try to fade into the background after (one hopes) trump is tossed. Definitely none of it is funny.
