In West Germany there never was an actually working redistribution of wealth after WW2. The rich families of the Nazi Germany kept their wealth and still have it today. Yes taxes were higher for them, but not even close to high enough. The Lastenausgleichsgesetz really did hit the middle class, who owned property. It did not hit the real capitalist class.
