There's a video I just saw posted on youtube about East Germans being sent to Africa to help train communist revolutionaries, and the whole video I was thinking about what it must have been like for these kids to have grown up with the supremacy of the white race going to Africa to train Africans to fight back against white colonizers. How exactly could these kids cope with spending the most formative years of their life being taught to be Nazis then whiplashing to being Communists?
In addition, many activities like the training of Congolese troops in East Germany (1977) happened even later, strengthening the effect of age.
So, to summarize: Younger officers carrying out the training were mostly too young to be heavily influenced by nazi propaganda, especially during the late operations. The senior officers overseeing the operations were meticulously screened to ensure their 100% communist / 0% nazi ideology.
