West Germany barred Nazi-regime victims from the civil service while preferring ex-officials.

Evidence

Since university professors are also civil servants in Germany, a check had to be made against a list supplied by the Ministry of the Interior whenever an appointment to a professorial post was made, to see whether there was not a suitable candidate with a preferential claim to the post among these article 131' professors. The Loyalty Law’ (Treuepflichtgesetz) of 1952 ensured in addition that members of the Association of Victims of the Nazi Regime were excluded from the Civil Service. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 468
