Yeah, you actually couldn't call people Nazis during the post-war period. Nazis were so viscerally hated in the US by the 50's that it would have been understood to be fighting words. You'd actually get physically beaten up for it. The early (post-war) American National Socialists would get attacked pretty regularly for showing swastikas or the like off in public.
Calling Dwight D. Eisenhower a Nazi? Someone's probably gonna stab you. You literally can't talk shit about the president like that as a social taboo.
