Nazi supporters march through downtown Nashville

The group of more than a dozen masked individuals marched wearing red shirts and black pants, waving flags with swastikas on them. It is not clear at this time who the group is or affiliated with, though many of the shirts said "Blood Tribe."

If this was 1945, these people would be shot on the streets.

Nazi’s did not stop becoming the enemy just because the war ended. The Nazi party being abolished was a condition of surrender.

As far as I’m concerned, a Nazi on US soil is an invading enemy soldier and should be shot on site.

There was a Nazi Party of America which was quite popular before the US entered WWII and there are still millions of them today (based upon Trump voters).

Doubt

Canada was mass importing Nazis after ww2 to counter communism, I imagine the US did the same considering they imported their scientists

Patton wanted to push onward and take the fight to the Soviets after the defeat of the Reich, and iirc he was amenable to joining forces with the Nazis. Or I could be thinking of Churchill and Operation Unthinkable, I don’t know. Either way, people were a-okay to cozy up with right-wing authoritarians to fight left-wing authoritarians (or just the left in general, I guess), and that continued all throughout the Cold War, from Latin America to Central Asia, so you can’t be far off, if not just right.

They did, and along with the Catholic Church, also facilitated the escape of numerous war criminals to South America for the same reasons. Not only Nazis, but their allies from other occupied countries.
