It occurred to me that Nazi ideology was entrenched in the German people from as early as the 1920s and officially since 1933 to 1945. You’d think that such a systemic worldview would be difficult to eradicate but it would seem Nazism was quickly removed after the Allies and Russians conquered them.

On the flip side, the Taliban have an entrenched ideology, but despite being occupied for over 20 years they returned to power overnight.

So, I guess two questions: Why didn’t the Nazis wage a guerrilla campaign to retake power? And why were we unable to destroy the Taliban the way we did Nazism?

    I think OP means why didn’t the Nazis retake power after the allies left Germany at the end of world war II. To which I would respond, the nukes we dropped on Japan probably.
