Mitläufer
The German term ''Mitläufer'' (plural: ''Mitläufer'') was used after World War II by the denazification hearings in West Germany to refer to people who were not charged with Nazi crimes but whose involvement with the Nazis was considered significant to an extent that they could not be exonerated for the crimes of the Nazi regime. ==Etymology==
The German word ''Mitläufer'' means literally "with-runner", akin to "lemming-like", a person who gives into peer pressure (this word is for instance used in German to describe a teenager smoking cigarettes to imitate friends). A ''Mitläufer'' is one who is not convinced by the ideology of the group they follow—they merely offer no resistance, because of a lack of courage, for instance, or opportunism. The term is usually translated in English as "fellow traveler" or "hanger-on", but it is not equivalent to either.
