Do you have any sources about this?

I had suspected stuff like this happened at the end of WW2 but I've never heard any concrete stories

I recall two instances. Brno death march and the deliberate bombing of Berlin civilians. Many died in the expulsions. However this probably doesn't begin to cover the topic.

There was the famous Der Sturmer (original stormfront before reddit), Julius Streicher: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Streicher

There was also William Joyce, executed by the British, and collaborator Philippe Henriot, killed by resistance members.

I've also heard of lynched propagandists but was only aware of these guys.
