Once fascism had been defeated, lot of people did stop to ask why it had happened, and how to prevent it from happening again.

The goal was to prevent another world war. That meant rooting out fascism in Axis countries for sure.

But it also meant looking at what happened after WWI, how treatment of Germany created conditions under which
angry young men could form mass death cults based on ideologies rooted in ethnic them/us distinctions--as well as
some soul-searching among the victorious Allies.

That was, to a degree, trying "to find reason in Hitler's actions." To prevent another Hitler.

I would not be surprised if some, at the time, thought such efforts were "apologizing" for Hitler, 

but if so, they lost the argument. That's likely why we've had no WW since then. 

But increasingly people worldwide are forgetting lessons learned.

Nobody was discussing that shit in 1944.
