Denazification

The April 1945 Directive to Commander-in-Chief of the United States Forces of Occupation in Germany, General Eisenhower (JCS 1067) set forth the principal policies of denazification, aimed at "restoring Germany's political life on democratic basis":

• Abrogation of all laws purporting to establish the political structure of National Socialism, and all laws, decrees and regulations which establish discriminations on grounds of race, nationality, political opinions, or creed.
