This is inspired by the recent mod post regarding example seeking questions. Are there any particularly prominent examples of these officers? I mean both those who were prominent in the Wehrmacht and also those who started out in the Wehrmacht and later became prominent in the Bundeswehr. Also, how were these officers perceived by German society and by foreign countries? Was the presence of these officers exploited by Eastern Bloc propaganda (I think I recall that the idea that West Germany was a continuation of the Nazi regime was popular in communist propaganda). What were relations like with NATO allies? Was there any tension? A sense of respect, perhaps? (If I recall correctly, the Western Front was "cleaner") Finally, how did the presence of these officers contribute to the myth of the "clean Wehrmacht"? I apologise if this question is somewhat long-winded.
