It didn't seem to be the case when I was there last summer, and my brother were there for four years. He never had any problems with people being supportive of the Nazis in the 30's and 40's.
Although, I cannot argue with your experiences. There always is a small proportion of idiots though in all societys - a la BNP members and supporters in this country.
