What kinds of anti-Hitler measures were taken during the denazification period, and how did these differ by country?

Denazification was largely limited to Germany in terms of proper intensive procedures given that both Czechoslovakia and Austria argued they were, and were seen by the Allies as, victims of the Nazi regime.

The denazification procedures and practices were largely similar across the four zones of Germany, in that they involved the idea of removing and/or scrutinising identified groups. However, they differed in terms of how intensively they were conducted and on what terms - the British were ambivalent about the procedures as a whole, and quickly shifted their focus to economic reconstruction. The Soviet process was beholden to political objectives above all, while the French approach was perhaps the most 'normal' in that it was like normal prosecutions whereby individuals were investigated on the basis of evidence.

The American denazification procedures were the most intensive and elaborate, and I have previously discussed these and how they changed here
