It wasn’t only the conspirators - their families were also treated as traitors.

My father-in-law became a judge in Berlin after WWII and was able to restore von Stauffenberg’s widow’s pension for her husband’s service. It wasn’t popular.

Oskar Schindler said when he returned to Germany after the war, that the Germans openly scorned him for what he did, he couldn’t live in Germany because of it.
