I should say that I don’t know the situation in Germany in 1945, but if, say, Khrushchev had only allowed people to serve in official positions who had not participated in the Purges, there would have been no one to serve.
Sometimes practicality is the better part of valor.
I don’t think that was the issue - I think rather that the US liked

excellent files on the Commies.
