You still have a big cultural divide in the former West and East. The West confronted its past with Nazism, while the East ignored it, under the mantra of being a socialist state that had nothing to do with the Nazi period. You saw much more of the traditional German military garb in the NationalVolksArmee than you did in the Bundeswehr.
Certainly in the late 90s there was some nostalgia for the DDR, and that can persist in the generation that lost their jobs after re-unification and never worked again.
