Line 18:
== Anime and Manga ==
* The ''[[Hellsing]]: Ultimate'' [[OVA|OVAs]] and the original ''[[Hellsing]]'' manga feature Nazi vampires en masse, as well as the more specialized Nazi werewolf, [[Improbable Aiming Skills|magical flintlock]] [[The Gunslinger|sharpshooter]], [[Mad Scientist]]/[[Morally-Ambiguous Doctorate|Doktor]], mesmerist, and quantum catboy fighters. For extra points, they ''also'' get advanced technology and weaponry in the form of advanced attack zeppelins armed with V-1 bombs and V-2 rockets, heavy weapons and armor, and microchips which can be used to monitor the location and progress of their troops from afar, and remotely incinerate them.
* Pretty much the entire plot of Part 2 of ''[[Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure (Manga)|Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure]]''. Nazis resurrect four ancient vampires known as the Pillar Men, who begin to wreak havoc.
* The first season of ''[[Weiss Kreuz]]'' has a pack of enemies called the SS whose leaders are obvious Nazi analogues. Their evil plot revolves around the occult powers of black magic and the main character's sister.
* ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (Animeanime)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' had the Thule Society show up at the last second of the first Anime, with Nazi attempts to exploit Alchemy driving the plot of the first movie. Notable in how one character ends up helping the Thule Society...
* ''[[Urotsukidouji]]'' had a [[Mad Scientist]] working for the [[Those Wacky Nazis|Nazis]] on summoning the [[Naughty Tentacles|tentacled]] demons of Hell with the power of a [[Stupid Jetpack Hitler|high-tech]] rape machine.
* A zombified Hitler and his army appears in the ''[[Dragonball Z]]'' movie ''Fusion Reborn''.
Line 26:
 
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* ''[[Hellboy (Comic Bookcomics)|Hellboy]]''. The titular demon was summoned to Earth by Nazi occultists, and the plans of the Third Reich regularly play upon the plot, in both the comic books and the films. President Truman personally sent the [[BPRD]] to Berlin in 1946 to catalog all the data pertaining to the Nazis' obsession with the occult - on account of American soldiers uncovering scores of... ''bizarre'' things since the city fell.
** Hoo, ''Hellboy'': [[Jet Pack|Jet Packs]], [[Lego Genetics]], [[Cyborg|Cyborgs]], [[Brain In Aa Jar|heads in jars]], and quality occult advice from ''[[Historical Villain Upgrade|Rasputin]]''; You name it, the Nazis had it. In the Mignola-verse, [[World War II]] was simply the public face of the decades-long "Occult Wars" which began shortly after [[World War I]] and lasted until the Allies finally killed Hitler - ''in 1958.'' Only Mignola knows how [[America Saves the Day|America Saved The Day]].
** In a ''[[The Savage Dragon]]'' crossover with ''Hellboy'', it was discovered that the [[Brain In Aa Jar|brain]] used by Brainiape, a [[Everything's Better Withwith Monkeys|gorilla]] with a powerful [[Psychic Powers|psychic brain]], was none other than Hitler's.
** When the brain leaped up and started walking, that's when the heroes called it...
* [[The DCU]] retconned away "[http://superdickery.com/index.php?view=article&catid=35%3Apropaganda-index&id=846%3Asuperman-joins-the-army&option=com_content&Itemid=24 Why] didn't [[Superman]] [http://superdickery.com/index.php?view=article&catid=35%3Apropaganda-index&id=841%3Asuperman-on-top-of-the-world&option=com_content&Itemid=24 kick Hitler's ass]?" by [[Hand Wave|explaining that]] Hitler had [[Retcon|used the Spear of Destiny]] to brainwash any American hero who entered Germany's borders (In some stories, this extends to the entire Eastern Hemisphere) and send them off to attack the US.
** A [[Post-Crisis]] explanation says the Spear simply turns off super-human powers whenever a superhuman enters territory controlled by the Germans. So the JSA was just a bunch of normal guys if they got 'zapped'.
* In the [[Marvel Universe]], Hitler was [[Cloning Blues|cloned multiple times]] by a geneticist named Arnim Zola and repeatedly [[Body Surf|transferred his mind from body to body]]. In most of these bodies, he called himself the "Hate-Monger", wielded a "hate ray" that could [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|manipulate people's emotions]], and wore a costume that looked something like a purple version of the Klan's getup. Marvel eventually tried to distance themselves from the Hate-Monger by having him [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can|transfer his mind]] into a [[Artifact of Doom|Cosmic Cube]] that didn't actually work. [[Death Is Cheap|This being comics]], even Hitler couldn't stay dead forever, though.... Marvel has also raised the question of whether this is "really Hitler" or "just a mental copy of Hitler", which somehow never comes up when it's someone else using Zola's process (such as Zola himself).
* ''[[Danger Girl]]'' has The Hammer, a terrorist group led by a Nazi war criminal, who collect magical artifacts in order to revive an ancient [[Atlantis|Atlantean]] "Aryan superman". Of course, when said being actually appears, he kills most of them.
* In the [[Elseworld|Elseworlds]] story ''[[Justice Society of America|JSA]]: The Golden Age'', it's revealed that {{spoiler|an American super villain with a gimmick for switching his brains into other bodies replaced an American superhero and ran for Senate... and secretly transferred ''Hitler's'' brain into a [[Flying Brick]] to help him take over America.}}
Line 41:
* Captain Gravity And the Power of Vrill: {{spoiler|The Nazis are looking for Atlantis!}} It was actually pretty awesome.
* ''[[Atomic Robo]]'' fights lots of Nazis with supernatural and/or superscientific powers.
* The ''[[Two Thousand AD (Comic Book)|2000 AD]]'' strip ''Caballistics, Inc.'' makes mention of Nazi Germany's occult warfare division, Sonderkommando Thule, very frequently. When the titular Caballistics, Inc. was still functioning as a secret department in the British Government at its peak during [[World War II]], as Q Department, Sonderkommando Thule was their biggest enemy. {{spoiler|[[Token Evil Teammate|Solomon Ravne]]}} is revealed to have been a former member.
* The premise of ''[[The Life Eaters]]'' is that human sacrifice can summon ancient deities. The Nazis create their death camps and sacrifice millions of people to build an army of Nordic Gods. By the end of the series, every region on Earth has embraced the practice to summon their culture's ancient deities.
* Irish indie comic ''[[The League Of Volunteers]]'' has a group of Nazis summons an ancient Irish demon to serve them in issue 1. It doesn't go as planned.
* The recent ''Captain America: Hail HYDRA!'' miniseries does this, casting HYDRA as an ancient conspiracy who piggyback on the Nazis' conquests to take advantage of their sweeping across Europe and [[Did Do the Research|Himmler's and to a lesser extent Hitler's historical interest in the occult]] to ransack Europe of occult goodies to {{spoiler|create their own god}} and which uses resurrected dead SS troopers as indestructible immortal mooks.
* In ''[[The Secret History (Comic Bookcomics)|The Secret History]]'', the Nazis are secretly controlled by the immortal Fifth Archon, William de Lecce, who oversees most of their occult projects.
 
 
== Film ==
* For anyone who's seen ''[[Grindhouse (Film)|Grindhouse]]'', five words: ''[[Werewolf Women of the SS]]''.
* ''[[Indiana Jones (Franchise)|Indiana Jones]]'' of course. Not one, but two of the movies and the cinematic [[Indiana Jones and Thethe Fate of Atlantis (Video Game)|adventure game]] feature Nazis trying to recover an ancient artifact that will grant them untold magical power, including [[Raiders of the Lost Ark (Film)|The Ark Of The Covenant]], [[TheIndiana Jones and the Last Crusade (Film)|the Holy Grail]], and other stuff.
** One of the comic books features Indy searching for the Spear of Destiny and having to battle both Nazis and druids to get it. Ultimately, of course, it ends up with the US military, and since ''[[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|the destiny of the world lies with the Spear]]'' Hiroshima is nuked almost immediately afterward.
* The Norwegian movie ''[[Dead Snow (Film)|Dead Snow]]'' contains Zombie Nazis.
** ''[[Dead Snow (Film)|Dead Snow]]'' seems to be a [[Spiritual Successor]] to the 1977 film ''[[Shock Waves (Film)|Shock Waves]]''. Other films with Zombie Nazis include Jesse Franco's ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086486/ Oasis of the Zombies]'' (1983), Jean Rollins' ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081027/ Zombie Lake]'' (also 1983, and produced by the same folks who did ''Oasis''), and the obscure ''[http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0082815/ Night of the Zombies]'' (1981).
* ''[[Bullet ProofBulletproof Monk]]'s'' main villains are a bunch of Nazis trying to gain immortality through ancient magic.
* And of course, [[The Film of the Book|the movie adaptation of]] ''[[Hellboy (Filmfilm)|Hellboy]].'' See above. There's also Kroenen, previously a Nazi assassin and now the [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|undead servant of Rasputin]]--it's unclear whether he's still sentient enough to have party loyalties.
{{quote| '''Professor Broom:''' 1958, the Occult Wars finally come to an end with the death of Adolf Hitler.<br />
'''John Myers:''' 1945, you mean.<br />
Line 63:
* ''[[wikipedia:First Squad|The First Squad]]'', a joint Russo-Japanese [[Animesque|anime-style]] movie about the Eastern Front, features the knights of [[The Teutonic Knights|the Teutonic Order]], as lovingly resurrected by the SS.
* In ''Crimson Rivers II: Angels of the Apocalypse'', there are some French (Neo-)Nazi monks trying to find a medieval artifact to help them build a new, pure France.
* This may fall partially under tech rather than magic, but ''[[Outpost (Film)|Outpost]]'' has a mercenary team of ex-Royal Marines trying to hold off the seemingly immortal bodies of resurrected SS. There's a half-century old machine within the bunker they were originally hired to search, and it's revealed to have the power to negate the Nazis' immortality when activated. The mercenaries turn it on {{spoiler|only for it to promptly break down, the last of the mercenaries (the captain) to die holding the Nazis off, and the scientist to try and escape through the ventilation shafts only to be met by the Nazis' commanding officer and a cut-to-black death.}}
* This is how the HYDRA rises to power in ''[[Captain America: The First Avenger (Film)|Captain America the First Avenger]]''. Originally just a sort of black ops division for the Nazi forces, when they find the Tesseract (a.k.a. Cosmic Cube) in Norway things take a drastic turn as they develop [[Stupid Jetpack Hitler|hyper-advanced weapons systems]] like [[Fricking Laser Beams]] that can instantly vaporize their targets or all the [[Cool Plane|Cool Planes]] that the Nazis designed but never managed to build.
* Parodied in ''[[Night Train to Munich (Film)|Night Train to Munich]]:'' John Fredericks: Occultist and Ophthalmic Surgeon
 
 
Line 79:
* In ''[[Illuminatus]]!'', the Holocaust is part of a ritual whose purpose is to cause Hitler and his immediate circle to ascend to [[Physical God|Physical Godhood]]. Hitler also faked his death at the end of WWII, and lives in Israel. [[Mind Screw|Probably]].
** As part of the same plan, the heroes have to stop a squadron of zombie SS commandos from attacking a Woodstock-like music festival in Germany, which is part of the Illuminati's plan to trigger World War Three.
* The novel/ comic book series ''Fiends of the Western Front'' has Hitler cut a [[Deal Withwith the Devil|deal with Dracula]]; the vamps help Germany win the war, and they get all the commies, wounded, and POW's they can eat.
* ''Lammas Night'', by Katherine Kurtz. The book's primary focus is on Britain's heroic Wiccans (and other occultists) and their [[Heroic Sacrifice|Heroic]] [[Human Sacrifice]] that shuts down Operation Sealion, but Hitler is portrayed as a scarily powerful Adept.
* In the [[Harry Potter]] series, the dark wizard Grindelwald is implied to have a connection to the Nazis.
Line 93:
== Live Action TV ==
* ''Reign Of The Gargoyles'' from the [[Sci Fi Channel]]: The Nazis make a pact with stone-winged killers.
* In the live-action adaptation of ''[[Witchblade (TV series)|Witchblade]]'', it is mentioned that not only was Hitler a collector of objects of power, including the titular Witchblade, but he was a wielder of the Lance of Longinus/Spear of Destiny, as well.
* [[The Burning Zone]]: “Midnight of the Carrier”: Neo-Nazis plan to use special lenses that can see energy signatures as a weapon. [http://www.tv.com/shows/burning-zone/midnight-of-the-carrier-713709/\], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Burning_Zone\]
* a Season 5 ''[[Angel (TV)|Angel]]'' episode had a flashback to the 1940s, where it is revealed that the Nazis have been experimenting with the creation of a vampire army.
** And as a [[Shout -Out]] to its predecessor ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', the method by which they were planning to accomplish this goal was very similar to the brain chip put in Spike by the Initiative in season 4.
*** This is because the 'Initiative' was most likely a renamed (Or was just short for) 'Demon Research Initiative', which was the US military group attempting steal the Nazi's research during WWII. They failed in the episode they appeared in, but presumably either succeeded later or just recreated the research.
*** Strangely, in 1940, they have no trouble talking about demons, it's even in their name, but in 2000, the ideas of demons and magic is insane. Either the higher-ups had started lying to the soldiers, or at some point the higher-ups decided all this 'demon' talk was nonsense, in a real-world attempt to [[Doing in Thethe Wizard|Do In The Wizard]], regardless of how stupid that is in the Buffyverse.
* In the Kamen Rider series, particularly in the Showa era, SHOCKER was founded by Nazis who had survived World War II. Among its officer is an ex-Nazi named Colonel Zol.
 
Line 117:
* In [[Hollow Earth Expedition]] the [[Hollow Earth]] is equated with Thule, so the Thule society, and therefore Nazis, are thoroughly interested in it, and trying to use the orichalcum found there as an energy source and/or extremely powerful explosives.
* The ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' [[Tabletop RPG]] supplement for the first season established that the Giza Stargate was used during WWII by Hitler, who, intrigued by its "occult possibilities", transported troops through it to literally "conquer Heaven", establishing an off-world Nazi colony that [[Lost Colony|presumably persists to this day]].
* Noticeably averted in the [[Old World of Darkness (Tabletop Game)|Old World of Darkness]]; after a few missteps in 1st Edition, White Wolf came to think that making World War II and the horrors of the Holocaust the master work of any one type of supernatural critter would undermine the utter inhumanity of it. So, if supernatural creatures were involved, they were just picking at the sides of the suffering or trying to stop it (Vampires need human "cattle" to survive, [[I Was Just Passing Through|so stopping them from being wiped out is in their best interests]]), and not the grand architects of genocide. This made it pretty much the only event in the WoD's history that ''wasn't'' entirely due to some NPC's master plan.
* The [[New World of Darkness (Tabletop Game)|New World of Darkness]] game ''[[Hunter: The Vigil (Tabletop Game)|Hunter: the Vigil]]'' subverts this with the Loyalists of Thule, made up of the remnants of the aforementioned Thule Society. Not only were they driven out of Germany after the Nazi Party came to power, but they became so horrified by what happened thereafter that they swore to use their occult knowledge to protect mankind from other horrors.
** ''[[Vampire: The Requiem (Tabletop Game)|Vampire: The Requiem]]'' has another subversion with the Dragolescu [[Prestige Class|bloodline]], a group of vampires capable of control over ghosts. Their founder was a... bit ''too'' enamored with Hitler, but never had any direct interaction with the guy -- if anything, he was a raving fanboy. When the Reich collapsed, he lost his mind and tried to find a way to harness the necromantic potential of the Holocaust, and that's when the rest of his order said, "Fuck that guy" and destroyed him. Since then, the Dragolescu name has a rather bad rep -- partially because of belief that they're beholden to strange spirits, and partially because of the Nazi thing.
* In the ''[[GURPS (Tabletop Game)|GURPS]] Infinite Worlds'' setting, "SS Raven Division" are amongst the major villains, using psychic/mystic world-jumping to infiltrate other worlds, from Reich-5, an [[Alternate Universe]] where the Nazis won the war.
** ''[[GURPS (Tabletop Game)|GURPS]]'' also published ''Weird War II'', which discusses and goes into detail ''everything discussed under this trope'' and how to use, mix, and blend them together to make a customized Weird Alternate [[WW 2]] for your role playing pleasure.
*** Weird War II is also the name of a setting by Savage Worlds, originally for the D20 rule set, about a world where the mass slaughter and evil of the war had awoken all manner of monsters, old and new. This meant that a player would not only face things like Nazi programs to create zombie or werewolf soldiers, but also haunted tanks and planes, apes with human brain transplants, djinn harassing the troops in Africa, onis fighting on behalf of the Japanese, and more.
* In the setting of ''[[Deadlands]]'', the trope is taken to its logical (?) extreme. One of the [[Ho E]] rulebooks explains (from the future perspective) that the Nazis used their own brand of [[Mad Scientist|Mad Science]], {{spoiler|creating devices powered, among other things, by souls of war prisoners.}} Furthermore, {{spoiler|Hitler actually intends to raise the Fear Level all over Europe to such levels that he can bring [[Big Bad|the Reckoners]] to Earth. And then control them.}}
* The ''[[Witch CraftWitchcraft]]'' setting uses this trope where the Nazis tried to use Cosmic Horrors to win the War.
* The ''[[Scion (Tabletop Game)|Scion]]'' companion has a setting where you can play as a scion involved in WWII. Hitler is a titan sponsored Scion but much of the war is Loki's fault, although exactly how much is not entirely clear.
* ''[[Delta Green]]'' features the Karotechia, the bare remnants of Hitler's occult program hiding out in South America. They have a perfect example of the Ubermensch (thanks to his discovery of a cannibal tribe's immortality rituals) and Hitler's third book, ''Mein Triumph'' -- dictated by the spirit of an "ascended" Hitler himself ( {{spoiler|who's actually Nyarlathotep being a dick as usual}}).
* In the ''Nephilim'' RPG series, Thule Society still exists and is a prominent faction generally hostile to the eponymous Nephilim. The Society is a mix of real-life Thule Gesselschaft and Ahnenerbe with magicians and alchemists added for a good measure.
Line 135:
== Video Games ==
* The video game ''[[Return to Castle Wolfenstein]]'' has you trying to prevent the Nazis of the SS Paranormal Division from {{spoiler|resurrecting an ancient Germanic warrior as an [[Super Soldier|invincible superweapon]]}}, while fighting off [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|cybernetic zombie Super-Soldiers animated by dark magic]]. You actually fail. The {{spoiler|supposedly invincible demigod}}, however, reveals himself surprisingly weak to [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|minigun bullets]]...
** In the 2009 sequel ''[[Wolfenstein (Video2009 Gamevideo game)|Wolfenstein]]'', the Paranormal Division is back, and takes this trope even further with extra-dimensional travel, Nazi mages, energy guns and yes, Nazis with jetpacks.
** In 1992's ''[[Wolfenstein 3D (Video Game)|Wolfenstein 3D]]'', the player also encounters fireball-throwing Hitler "ghosts" as minibosses leading up to the final encounter with MechaHitler. Furthermore, in the prequel, ''Spear Of Destiny'', the player must recover the titular Spear from Hitler's grasp, and encounters a supernatural protector called the Angel of Death.
*** The "Hitler Ghosts" are puppets that move around on strings, with Hitler's face on them. They're entirely mechanical, so only ''Spear of Destiny'' has the real deal (the suspiciously [[Satan]]-like Angel of Death and ''literal'' ghosts).
* In the iPhone Wolfenstien RPG, the Nazi's attempt to stop BJ's assault by summoning the final boss The Guardian Of Doom. After BJ blows his arm and leg off, the demon vows to get revenge on his descendants. Flash forward a few centuries, and Doomguy is fighting the Cyber Demon!
* ''[[Indiana Jones and Thethe Fate of Atlantis]]'' features [[Herr Doktor]] [[Meaningful Name|Hans]] [[Ubermensch|Ubermann]] and Klaus Kerner, a Gestapo member of the Thule society himself. They are trying to find the source of [[Orichalcum]], a mystic radioactive substance capable of powering [[Forgotten Superweapon|Forgotten Superweapons]] left behind by the [[Neglectful Precursors|Atlanteans]], not to mention [[I Love Nuclear Power|other stuff]] which is less important than, say, [[A God Am I|the God machine]].
* The first ''[[Blood Rayne]]'' game is loaded with Nazi occultists, [[Punk Punk|dieselpunk]] mecha, and [[The Baroness|leather-clad Aryan temptresses armed with sharp objects]]. Yes, there were [[Stupid Jetpack Hitler|jetpack-using Nazis]].
* The Fifth Column, one of the original villain groups in ''[[City of Heroes]]'', were Nazis who'd been underground in the US since being sent there to strike from within during World War II. A mid-level story arc had the Fifth Column as modern allies for a Nazi soldier who time-traveled to 21st century [[No Communities Were Harmed|Paragon City]] to learn about Allied plans during World War II and bring the information back to ensure the victory of the Axis. At the higher levels, there were [[Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke|genetically-engineered]] [[Our Vampires Are Different|vampires]] and [[Our Werewolves Are Different|werewolves]] among their ranks, complete with a vampiric archvillain named Nosferatu.
* ''[[Bionic Commando (Video Game)|Bionic Commando]]''/''Top Secret''. Don't [[No Swastikas|lie]]. You all know [[It Was His Sled|who "Master-D" really is]].
** The remake, ''[[Bionic Commando (Video Game)|Bionic Commando]] Rearmed'', makes no attempt to hide "The Leader's" identity, but they still don't come right out and say "Nazi" or "Hitler". It makes the whole remade game, which is essentially a retconned prequel for the new, very serious and dark [[Bionic Commando (Video Game)|Bionic Commando]], very surreal. {{spoiler|And then you make [[Your Head Asplode|his head explode]].}}
* In the Japanese only first part of [[Persona 2]], Hitler is somehow still alive, wielding the Spear of Destiny, and attempting to summon [[Cthulhu Mythos|Nyarlathotep]]. {{spoiler|It's actually Nyarlathotep himself, materializing the rumor that Hitler is back and alive.}}
* The [[Lucas Arts]] inspired [[Adventure Game]] ''Flight Of The Amazon Queen'' featured a [[Mad Scientist]] planning to [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|transform Amazon women into dinosaurs]]. All fronted by the [[Sdrawkcab Name|Flöda lederhosen company]], of course.
* Another little known adventure ''Call of Cthulhu: Prisoner of Ice'' had Nazis attempting to use [[HPH.P. Lovecraft|Lovecraftian]] [[Eldritch Abomination|horrors]] as a secret weapon in war.
* In [[Uncharted|Uncharted 2: Among Thieves]] Hitler is on the list of powerful men theorized to have gained their power by holding a tiny fraction of the Cintamani Stone, {{spoiler|and then subverted. Late in the game, it turns out that the stone doesn't exist, it's a metaphor for the unusual but not supernatural sap from the Tree of Life that gives those who drink it [[Nigh Invulnerability]] and, eventually, [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity|madness]]. Though not stated in-game, one might assume that in this version of events, drinking the sap didn't give Hitler any advantages in World War II because he wasn't a front line soldier, and may have caused his eventual mental collapse.}}
** [[Fridge Brilliance|Although it does provide a sound explanation for why he survived his assassination attempt]].
** In the original, Nathan discovers a German U-Boat and base that discovered El Dorado, only to learn it was cursed. You find a ''lot'' of dead Nazis. {{spoiler|And the things that killed them.}}
* In [[Hellboy (Comic Bookcomics)|Hellboy]]: The Science of Evil, you fight clockwork Nazis, cyborg Nazis, and, in one late-game area, [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|clock-work-cyborg-Nazi-zombies being animated by a Lovecraftian alien worm.]] Makes for the [[Acceptable Targets|single most okay-to-beat-up mook ever.]]
* Continuing in the films' tradition, ''[[Indiana Jones and Thethe Fate of Atlantis]]'' is centered around lost Atlantean technology and preventing the Third Reich from getting their hands on it.
* Japanese [[Turn -Based Strategy]] ''[[Operation Darkness]]'' has Nazi Zombies, [[Our Vampires Are Different|vampire SS officer]] Alexander Vlado and, on the playable side, a squad of [[Our Werewolves Are Different|British werewolf commandos]].
* ''[[Call of Duty]]: World at War'' adds a Nazi zombies mode. It is resurrected in ''Black Ops'', but moved to the 1960's.
* In ''[[The Last Resurrection]]'' Hitler is actually the right-hand man to Jesus himself, and teams up with his angels. Could count as a subversion depending on metaphysical semantics.
Line 158:
 
== Webcomics ==
* ''[[Irregular Webcomic]]'' plays with this trope for all its worth, as indicated by the quote above. In one storyline, Montana Jones and his father try to stop the Nazis from getting their hands on all the world's major occult artifacts. The Nazis, in turn, are being ordered around by Hitler's [[Brain In Aa Jar]].
** The really strange thing is that the Montana Jones storyline takes place ''before'' World War II.
*** "Nazi science sneers at historical accuracy!"
*** They explained this [http://irregularwebcomic.net/2263.html here]. [[Alternate Universe]], big time.
* The ''[http://www.goats.com/archive/050315.html Good Hitler vs. Space Hitler]'' arc of the webcomic ''[[Goats]]''.
* In ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja (Webcomic)|The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]'', Hitler inexplicably appears in [[Dracula]]'s moon base. Though that might just be because Dracula apparently collects historical figures.
* ''[http://www.comics.aha.ru/rus/stalin/1.html Stalin vs. Hitler]'' does this a great deal both for both Hitler and Stalin.
* In ''[[The Specialists (Webcomic)|The Specialists]]'', this is how the first ''ubermenschen'' were made.
* ''[http://strangeaeons.comicdish.com Strange Aeons]'' is a [[Diesel Punk]] themed webcomic where the Nazi villains are planning to use the Necronomicon for some yet-unknown evil purpose.
* ''[[Spinnerette]]'' has Kugelblitz, a former member of the "Third Reich's Sorcery Batallion" who planned to infuse a [[You Cloned Hitler|Hitler clone]] with the soul of the real deal.
