Meaning of "end up in somewhere"
Does "ended up in the West" here mean "fled to the West" or "originated from the West"?
Context:
It should not be forgotten that considerable ideological discrepancies existed in the Germanys of East and West regarding perceptions of the legacy of national socialism. In essence West Germany saw itself as willing to confront and work through the Nazi past whilst East German officialdom denied there was anything with which it had to deal as a state, since all the unreconstructed ex-Nazis had ended up in the West. Hence, the GDR’s official designation of the Wall as an
‘anti-fascist protection barrier’.
