Those Wacky Nazis: Difference between revisions

** The Neo-Nazis are also portrayed as [[Joke Character|comically inept and fanatical]]. Their hamminess doesn't help. The ''real'' Neo-Nazi, the man who funded the operation, is a [[Retired Monster]] who still very much holds on to his Nazi ideals, but is [[Affably Evil|polite enough to have a conversation with a black man before calling him degenerate.]]

** The U-Boat crew were more "loyal to a country that just happened to be Nazi Germany" than Nazis themselves. The Captain even stated that if their U-Boat sinking meant that his children would never have to see a Swastika again he would be glad to make that sacrifice.

** There may also be a hint of [[My Country, Right or Wrong]] too as he often complains his [[Adolf Hitler|Boss]] is insane.

* ''[[The Legend of Koizumi]]'' has Nazis as the main villains. It turns out they all survived, including Hitler, Mengele, and ''[[Mad Artist|Wagner]]''. They live on their moon base, travel to Earth in classic UFOs, and have a giant cannon capable of launching meteor-bullets that hit with the force of a nuclear weapon. Earth's only hope? [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|Beat them in a]] [[Serious Business|mahjong tournament]].

** The similarities between Nazis and Daleks are lampshaded in the novel ''Timewyrm: Exodus'', which implies that the aliens who helped Hitler forge the Third Reich modelled it on the Dalek civilization.

** The Cybermen also have certain Nazi parallels. The serial ''Silver Nemesis'' has Neo-Nazis admiring and allying with the Cybermen (before inevitably being betrayed by them).

** A meta comparison is invoked by the Sixth Doctor in the radio play ''Jubilee''. On an alternate 20th Century Earth that barely survived a Dalek invasion at the turn of the century, the Daleks came to be portrayed in the popular culture as buffoonish, incompetent, ineffectual villains that were the go-to guilt-free enemy in any scenario. The Doctor complains about the human tendency to defang historical evils, resulting in ignorance of the larger applicable truths about them (like racism and cruelty), and directly compares how that Earth treats the Dalek to how the non-alternate Earth treats the Nazis. Incidentally, that alternate Earth is dominated by a inhumane, fascist British Empire wielding Dalek-derived tech. So they basically became the very thing they once fought against.

* ''Made in Britain'' for the neo-Nazi "disaffected youth" version.
