East Germany completely skipped that part.

That is absolutely not true, the de-nazification in east Germany, was much more thoroughly than in the west.

I beg to differ. It stopped shortly after the war in east and west. But the west had 1968 and in the GDR the older generation was never asked what they did in the war. All the nazis had gone to the west by definition.
