The party headed by Hitler from 1921-1945 was disbanded by the Allies in 1945.

___

Unfortunately it is still very much in existence. It goes through periods of growth and shrinking...and from recent reports, may well be becoming more popular again.

The American Nazi party has many branches aound the country, and occasionaly has public rallies or tries running a candidate for office someplace. It is also a major gang type group among inmates in the Prision system.

The Nazis may have been defeated in WW2 in Germany, etc., but that does not mean all those supporting it changed their ways by any means. In fact, many of those who led the most terrible aspects of the WW2 era Nazi, were given help and hiding and even an esteemed place, by others throughout the world. It's fair to say those that supported them and helped them, while maybe not war criminals, still believed in what the goals were.

In my own travels through Germany/Austria/etc., I would frequently meet people, (owners and patrons of little B&B type places, restaurants, bars, etc.) who were still happy and fervant in expressing their being a Nazi, and if they were older generation, still upset that the war was lost. While not all follow along, its reasonable these people would teach their children the beliefs too.

No, the idea(s) didn't end with the war...and those with the belief are still ready to force it upon us all again....as soon as we forget and look away.

Answer 2

It began as a few dozen in the 1930s, grew to several hundred by the time Hitler took power, and then grew to millions in the 1940s (due to Propaganda and the implicit message that if you did not join you were considered a potential "troublemaker").
