Is being labelled a Nazi in 2023 when one doesn't identify with the Nazi party or it's ideologies similar to dead-naming people who have changed their names?

In reference to the Yaroslav Hunka, who fought for Nazi Germany in WW2, then fought for Ukrainian independence afterwards. Canada recently had him in House of Commons to pay respect for Ukraine, which caused an uproar.

On one hand, a man fought for an evil power. Wether he had choice in that participation is up for debate. Does it make a difference what actions he took for the rest of his life or should he always be labelled a Nazi? Is he more of a Nazi than skin head, swastika tattoos nazis of today? I guess the question is, is it fair to judge someone this way? Looking for your thoughts.

    Hubert Aiwanger, deputy governor of Bavaria for the Free Voters has recently been accused of having had a school past as a violent Nazi.

    He blamed his brother.

    Regardless of the veracity of the claims, it only skyrocketed the polling results of the FW to almost 20%.

    The average opinion of the westerner about Nazi politics (seemingly including explicitly NSDAP supporting Nazis)? "They had a point!"
