Part of the trouble is that Nazism had co-opted so many people by then that to literally murder them all would be another Holocaust. At the end of hostilities, nobody had the stomach to murder like 10% of all Germans.
The third reich did have its fifth columnists however, and people too often give them short shrift in their recollections. If there were a few more in the right place, I like to think a lot of lives could have been saved, maybe the whole thing stopped earlier.
