The first was the purging of National Socialist elements from Germany. After the war, thousands of Nazis escaped capture by the allies, with many returning to their lives as civilians. The occupying forces were attempting to ensure that these individuals would not exert major influence, and that Nazism would not rise again in post-war Germany.
