I've always wondered how "denazification" worked in Europe after WWII.

I guess the Nazis (and collaborators) were mostly driven underground, forced to lay low and not say much. At least not in public.

Yeah, pretty much right. The Freedom Party in Austria was founded by former members of the SS back in the 50s - persistence paid off for them last weekend when they became the biggest vote-getter in the elections. Then there's AfD in Germany.
