It still happens from time to time. Didn't one member of the british
royal house dress as a nazi at a masquerade? I also know that a few
politicians here and there from the sweden democrats have been kicked
out for having nazi tattoos that at one time or other were caught on
camera.

There is a lot of history that some would like to forget. The Norwegians
executed Quisling as their sacrificial lamb and to hear them tell everyone
was in the resistance. France, Sweden, Finland and most other European
countries developed amnesia without the need to shoot anyone although some
rehabilitation might have been necessary. The US wasn't occupied so it was
difficult to 'colloborate'.

This is the truth! Sweden most definitely collaborated under the flag of neutrality. Not a very honorable way, but I am convinced it saved a lot of swedes, at the cost of a lot of other people. This is a fun topic to start if you ever meet any swedes! ;)

Somewhere there is an interesting account by John le Carré of experiences in British intelligence post WWII. They simply left the Nazis in place in government to get their pensions eventually.

The Pigeon Tunnel. Good read.

 I really like le Carré, especially his earlier books, but haven't heard about this one. Must have a look!
 I think they also managed to convert the Nightmanager and the little drummer girls to quite good TV-shows as well!
 

Little drummer girls was appalling. Gave up after first episode.
I've got em downloaded if you want.
Best TV was tinker tailor and smileys people - epic shows.
