Are the ideas they spread harmless?

  First of all, there is something called freedom of thought. In countries that respect human rights, you generally can't convict let alone kill people for ideas, including harmful ones. What Nazis were tried for are the actual crimes they committed, the people they killed or ordered to be killed. And what justice needs to do, in addition to the punishment aspect is no make sure they don't kill any more people, and this can be achieved by surveillance in or out of prison. Nazis don't have wololo powers, they can't instantly turn people into Nazis like a psychopath can stab you. And ex-Nazis are burnt anyways people will not follow them like they did when they were in power. We all have seen what they done. In fact, extremists who want to push genocidal idea will do everything they can to avoid ex-Nazis if they expect any kind of influence. I still don't see why we should execute ex-Nazis if the only reason is a last resort to protect society from danger.
