De-Nazification Document

Here's 3 documents of Herrn Wilhelm Wille of Wittenwater born in 1895, a Agricultural worker I think the

area is lower saxony.?

 

Document one is from the military registration office, it's notification he's been put on reserve status to Landwehr 1.

 

Document two is a wehrpas/note asking for records they need at the registration office, ( from the labour office ).

 

Document three is from the denazification committee of the main district of Uelzen. It's a written decision/procedure

by the committee to release Wilhelm Wille of the category v status, signed by the registrator 21 jan 1949.

 

My question is who had to go through this procedure, was it only party members and the military, and how long did

it take to denazify a person.?

Here is a very good general explanation:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denazification

 

Entnazifierung was more of a trial to determine how involved a person was, and whether he was "fit" for future office, the individual length is difficult to say. The method was generally very unpopular in Germany and Austria, and was soon dropped due to the Cold War. A consequent implementation of the process would have meant that there were no more qualified persons to fill important positions in the future, the idea was futile as such. There were over 8 million members of the NSDAP, due to which led to a freeze of new entries in the early 40s. Military persons were generally barred from membership by the Wehrmacht, the tradition being also previously that soldiers were not permitted to vote, or to take part in any political activities, this applied to all ranks, officers and men, it was a simple military principle.
