Ah, this way. There was no thread, I took up an old piece. I meant 'motherland' instead of 'fatherland', but not in the language game sense. It is correct to say 'fatherland' for 'patria' in German.
No, I was playing on the often-made assertion that in post-war Western Germany the impact of women, and among those especially, mothers on society was much bigger than before. In the 80s there was a distinct revival of the post-war revival of civil life by female 'reconstructors from rubble'. I don't know of Kieffers age and personal history, but roughly estimated him born 1944-8.
The motherland assumption was definitely dead after incorporation of the GDR worker's women self-concept.

And still another jump (please forgive), concerning 'given there had been no denazification in the GDR': from the socialist point of view 'denazification' meant:
removal of multiacre landownership,
removal of privately owned industry,
and, somewhat lesser profile, removal of fascists from their state offices, and, much higher profile, inthronation of the (antifascist) worker's party's social and political rule.
All those concepts had been adressed and consistently put to practice in the early GDR time.

reeducation of the individuals on the human rights agenda wasn't done in a day or a few years hereabouts - anything else, but the Nuremberg processes, was quite inconsistent.
