Those people were quietly disappeared as their purpose was served, the US’ West German puppet state had more Nazi party members in many agencies, notably the “Justice” agency responsible for prosecuting or protecting them.
From 1949 to 1973, 90 of the 170 leading lawyers and judges in the then-West German Justice Ministry had been members of the Nazi Party.
Of those 90 officials, 34 had been members of the Sturmabteilung (SA), Nazi Party paramilitaries who aided Hitler’s rise and took part in Kristallnacht, a night of violence that is believed to have left 91 Jewish people dead.
Fully 77 percent of senior ministry officials in 1957 were former members of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi party, a higher proportion even than during the 1933-45 Third Reich, the study found.
I know I’ve read some Parenti that gets into it a bit, I’ll take a look. Most were not literally executed, but the Soviets denied scientists acknowledgement for work, often they had as little knowledge of what they were really working on as possible (which may have hindered their contributions). But the only allegations attributing specific individuals their contributions that I’ve found before the collapse of the USSR appear in Western language sources, usually of those who were seemingly useful long enough or non-ideological enough to be sent home, and of those really just those that made their way to West Germany (and often ultimately the US) or were close to those that did.
I have my critiques of Operation Osoaviakhim, but the crucial differences still remains that with the Soviets those monsters were used and discarded, in the west they were used and then elevated to positions of power

The Soviets didn’t excute enough nazis, but they never messed up this bad
Let’s not pretend that Operation Osoaviakhim didn’t exist either though.

Know of any sources on that specifically? Don’t doubt it but it would be useful
