Easy Germany wasn ' t the ussr , and the ussr wasnt saying this about other countries . West Germany was not part of nato for a decade after the war . I ' m telling you as a person who has relatives who remember it , and who has lived there some time , Imperialist , capitalist , even corporate , other things like that were the names they called the west , and nlpretty much universally they reserved fascist to refer to actual Nazis . Most of the propaganda around the time of the war was proallies , as the Russians were allies . East Germany had a specific bone to pick with its opponents on the other side of the divided Germany and most remaining Nazi officials and so on joined west Germany . . they were referring to actual nazis .
