My dad fought the Nazi's they lost. The world knows it. What is the deal with their recent resurgence?

They didn't lose. You're probably talking about Nazi Germany. Yes, that country lost. Doesn't mean Nazis in Germany magically disappeared. Doesn't mean Nazis anywhere else disappeared. Your dad never won over Nazis, just one particular Nazi country.

Even though he fought all across Europe?

The Nazi party fled to many corners of the globe. Fascism exists outside of the Nazi party. Between those two things, fascism never really died. The Nazi party was shut down, made illegal in much of Europe. The other fascists welcomed those that made it out. Most modern day fascists that use Nazi imagery are called neo-nazis. Not the same group from WW2. Neo-nazis have been around for decades. Until recently they were not nearly as organized.

Not promoting violence but can we do something against them to make them feel marginalized?

I'm honestly not sure. You could try doxing the lower ranks, they need jobs and employers don't usually love Nazis.

Just thought I would cash in on making fun of all the nazi bullshit if someone would sponsor me LOL.

That still doesn't mean that all Nazis just magically stopped existing. Sure, a lot of them were killed in the war, but way more of them weren't
