It was so bad that the American Army was actually burning books that the Frankfurt School and their advisers had identified could lead to a resurgence of Nazism; or were "too ideological".

iirc they even burned just normal run of the mill training regimen manuals because they feared any actual bodily discipline might also lead to a resurgence of national socialism - they didn't even attempt to copy the stuff and just remove the german references

fun little tidbit there
