Point #1: Defeat in WW2 smashed the Party's power in Germany and Austria, it never "got rid of all the Nazis".

Point #2: You can ban a party but you can't "get rid" of an ideology, unless you can control everything that people read, think, and say. The best you can do is to try to keep its hands away from anywhere near the levers of power ever again.

Point #3: Not every genocidal regime waves swastika flags. Don't sit and munch popcorn while watching a genocide unfold just because the perpetrators aren't led by a man with a toothbrush moustache. Have the balls to try to prevent, halt, and punish it while you have the power in your hands to actually do something, instead of agonizing over what earlier generations failed to do.
