Thats a false comparison. When, in Western history post-1945, have we had to deal with the kind of civil strife as exists in Iraq because of Neo-Nazis? |
1945 after the surrender & early 1946 |
Yes, the situation was often very tense. However, because Germany was almost completely bombed out the Germans didn't have the time, energy and resources to embark on large scale civil unrest against the invaders/victors. Moreover, the military regime of the Allies (not just the Russians) was extremely harsh shortly after the defeat of Nazi Germany.

In fact almost every war in which the invader wins is followed by a period of civil strife.
