(1) Leaders either committed suicide/vanished to South America/stood in War Crimes trials (v few hung) or kidnapped by Mossad & tried in Israel
(2) Scientists gobbled up by USSR & USA (Space missions were largely based on Nazi technoly)
(3) Middle management - 're-education' camps & limited imprisonment
(4) Footsoldiers / civilians - public 're-education' & ban on Nazi symbols etc.
The Cold War 'stopped' other activities as the West was too busy checking up on the USSR & vice-versa.

In actuality, the US Government sanctioned the most bright of the intelligencia, scientists and medical doctors to positions IN the government. They also set up a dispersment camp in Houston Texas which housed thousands of Nazis and their families, governed by Nazis and slowly dispersed those in the camp into Houston and the surrounding areas over a short period of time.
Other more notorious Nazi's were welcomed into South America and DC and Nevada.
2 of the people who helped invent the Atomic bomb.....were Nazis.

Many ex-soldiers and ex-card carrying members of the Nazi party can be found all over Germany today.

It depends on who captured them or surrendered to. Many of them spent time in a POW camp and then released. Many of them were tried as war criminals. Most that were captured by the Soviets went to the gulag and never returned. All that were captured by the Western Allies went through a de-Nazification process in order to help rebuild the country into a liberal democracy.

Some were tried and convicted of war crimes. Some killed themselves. Some ran off to other countries and hid. For the most part the Nazi party died when Hitler pulled his own tigger.

Depends-some were tried as war criminals, some were "rehabilitated", some escaped to Argentina, some were lined up against a wall and shot, some laid low, some were taken to the Soviet Union as slave labour, etc. etc.

The leaders were rounded up, tried for various crimes, and punished; some of them were executed. As for the middle management ranks, I don't know. The foot soldiers of the movement mostly went back to routine business affairs.
