I seem to recall a statement from somewhere saying that one of the greatest 
tricks the Nazi's pulled after the war was to instill a feeling of national 
shame about the war crimes and so forth. This was done deliberately to 
elude persecution after the war for their horrendous crimes against 
humanity. The German people rarely wanted to talk or drag out these cases 
into the public eye due to this feeling of shame.

But I can't remember where I read this (maybe the Odessa file?) so I can't 
confirm that. And I have very little historical knowledge.
