@muyakea to a lot of Germans the conquest of the allies came as a relief,
but not to all, especially not the card-carrying Nazi party members, who were hunted, so many either committed suicide, or quickly became card-carrying members of "Die Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands" SED (a forced combination of a socialist and communist party, engineered by the Russians) or in Austria "Die Kommunistische Partei Österreichs" = KPÖ - they began in Austria as a united government with the socialists after 1945, but the communists lost their last mandate to the parliament in the 1960s.
