Today, the AfD (Alternative für Deutschland) party seems to be Germany’s last chance not to repeat, once again, a path that, on this occasion, would surely lead to its definitive destruction.
Since the creation of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1949, the country has been governed by a two-party political system, which has de facto alternated in power through coalitions led by the Christian Democrats of the CDU and SDU (Christian Democratic Union and Christian Social Union) and the Social Democrats of the SPD (Social Democratic Party of Germany).

The truth is that, shortly after Germany’s defeat in World War II, efforts to denazify the western part of the country were losing momentum, due to the intentions of those who were still allies of the Soviet Union, to use the future Federal Republic of Germany as a battering ram against Moscow in an incipient Cold War.
Beyond the Nuremberg Trials, carried out by the Allied powers, where a large part of the military and political leadership of the Nazi regime was convicted and executed, in practice, the vast majority of the administrative, political, military and intelligence apparatus that had served Adolf Hitler was recycled, with the consent and complicity of the political leaders of the “New Germany”.
This can be easily verified with concrete data such as Article 131 of the German Constitution of 1949, which rehabilitated and reinstated in their jobs in the public administration, all those who had ceased their functions on May 8, 1945, for reasons unrelated to the regulations of the civil service. This article of the German Basic Law of 1949 de facto restored to their jobs all administrative, police and military officials who had been removed due to their close ties, participation and complicity with the Nazi regime, even going so far as to restore the rights to receive pensions to those who were of retirement age.
In this way, all levels of the “new” German state were once again filled with the same Nazi officials who had been displaced four years earlier as a result of their actions, in such sensitive sectors as the Judiciary, the Police and the Armed Forces.
Senior commanders of the Wehrmacht, very close collaborators of Hitler, went on to occupy the top of the Bundeswehr and then to form part of the supreme command of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Many of them were direct advisors to Konrad Adenauer, during whose government the Gehlen Organization operated, led by the Nazi military Reinhard Gehlen, who was the head of counter-intelligence of the Wehrmacht on the Eastern Front, during World War II, carrying out all kinds of war crimes against the Soviet population.
Reinhard Gehlen himself would be the first president of the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), West German Intelligence Service, created in 1956, remaining in command until 1968. In fact, the Ukrainian nationalist and war criminal, Stepan Bandera, lived in Munich, protected from the Soviet justice system that claimed him for his misdeeds, collaborating with the CIA and the BND in the organization of clandestine operations of terrorism and destabilization in the territory of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, until he was executed for his crimes, in a KGB operation, in the aforementioned German city, in October 1959. It is very clear that denazification in the FRG was little more than a declamation.
Today Germany is one of the countries that most supports Volodymir Zelensky’s Ukrainian regime in money and weapons, a situation that is strongly questioned and demands the urgent cessation of the Alternative für Deutschland party, characterized, especially in the West, as a far-right political force, even described as “neo-Nazi”.
This is a real paradox, since while the “democratic” German political establishment speaks of a “cordon sanitaire” to contain the “extremists” of the AfD, the Social Democrats and Christian Democrats unconditionally support the Kiev regime, destroying the German economy, while arguing that Ukraine is defending European freedom and the values of the old continent, while Zelensky orders the reburial, with state honors on Ukrainian soil, of nationalist criminals and Nazi collaborators such as Yevghen Konovalets or Andriy Melnyk, and gives the army unit the Northern Special Operations Center the name “Heroes of the UPA”, in honor of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, a terrorist, paramilitary group and collaborator of Nazism, which brutally murdered hundreds of thousands of Poles, among others, during World War II. Are these the European values that Chancellor Merz talks about so much?
On the other hand, AfD leaders, such as Alice Weidel, demand that all economic and arms aid to the Zelensky regime be cut off, advocate an end to the hostile policy towards Moscow, the resumption of energy ties with Russia, which had allowed the competitiveness of the Teutonic industry and the restoration of the good bilateral relations that the two nations maintained until the 2014 coup d’état, sponsored by the US and the European Union in Ukraine.
Faced with this situation and with a chancellor like Friedrich Merz, who as a nostalgic for Kaiser Wilhelm II and Adolf Hitler, claims that Germany must once again have the most powerful army in Europe; perhaps it is the conservative party, Alternative für Deutschland, the only hope that Berlin will not put all humanity in danger again, since, if this happens, this will undoubtedly be the last time for Germany, before it ceases to exist.
