Question:

Did any ex-Nazi's hold government positions in postwar Germany?

I am writing an essay on the representation of the national past in European cinema (Germany and France) I am comparing and contrasting the two. I am finding postwar German politics slightly confusing, but am getting the hang of it slowly, I have a lot of information to take in. So any help with this would be very much appreciated thanks.

I know that many businesses still had ex-nazi's running them.Also that cinema was relient on Goebbels filmakers, scriptwriters and actors for a long time after the war (right up till the 60s) which affected how cinema was made and recieved, along with the occuping forces and an influx of American film.
