I believe the answer is:

eliza

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'maybe miss' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'return of nazi-led demos' is the wordplay.
'return' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'azile' is hidden within 'nazi led demos'.
'azile' written backwards gives 'ELIZA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eliza that I've seen before include "Henry Higgins' protege (My Fair Lady)" , "- Doolittle (Pygmalion)" , "Miss Doolittle/s first name" , "girl" , "- Doolittle (My Fair Lady)" .)
