->[sobbing] ''"Labour camps... That's what they called them last time..."''
-->-- '''Wilfred "Wilf" Mott''' (as he watches an army truck full of foreigners drive off to a "labour camp"), ''Series/DoctorWho'', "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E11TurnLeft Turn Left]]"

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* ''Series/AlienNation'': Although they don't wear [[PuttingOnTheReich Nazi-style paramilitary uniforms]], Purist rhetoric is very reminiscent of Nazism. They express fear of being outbred by the Newcomers (given their far shorter reproductive cycle), start with "only" demanding they be kept separate from humans and denied all civil rights (as the Nuremberg laws had done to Jews, although it invoked Jim Crow legislation as well, which inspired them) before soon graduating into attempting genocide by creating a bioweapon. In one episode when George goes to a Purist group's headquarters, they have flags hanging in a very similar manner to the Nazis'.
* The Scourge from ''Series/{{Angel}}'' episode "[[Recap/AngelS01E09Hero Hero]]" are demons whose ideas about racial purity drive them to destroy all [[HalfHumanHybrid creatures that are part demon and part human]], a description that fits two of the show's heroes at that point, Angel and Doyle. The Scourge wear well-fitted grey uniforms of a cut fashionable in 1940's Europe, and [[AnachronismStew drive trucks and motorcycles from the same era]]. Ironically it had already been established in ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' that pure-blood demons were actually giant monster creatures, so the Scourge [[YouAreWhatYouHate would have been half-breed demons themselves]].
** It has been debated among the fandom and some have speculate that the Scourge understand "pure demons" not as the EldritchAbomination in what the Mayor turn or as Ilyria was but as simply non-vampires, non-humans and non-halfdemon half human hybrid. Possibly not every demon is aware of the existence of the "pure demons".
* ''Series/BabylonFive'':
** The Night Watch have a number of Nazi/Brownshirt parallels (notably pro-Earth jingoism and anti-alien xenophobia), with Zack Allan as an example of a sympathetic character who gets swept up in it. [[spoiler:He turns against Night Watch when the chips are down.]] Lampshaded in one episode when a shopkeeper asks members of the Nightwatch if they were "late for their Bund meeting", invoking the Nazi collaborationist German/American Bund.
** William Edgars states that, thanks to the anti-telepath virus he developed, "The telepath problem... will finally be over". The pause suggests that he realizes what he sounds like... but he doesn't back away from his plan.
** Similar to the Magneto example, some in the targeted minority aren't that different. The Psi-Cop uniforms have definite Nazi connotations. The fact that telepaths all wear gloves only adds to the look.
* ''Series/BattlestarGalactica1978'' has the Eastern Alliance on planet Terra (surprisingly, an aversion to the PlanetTerra trope in that it's not Earth), which serves as a [[CommieNazis fusion of sorts]] between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. The uniforms appear to include elements of both, as well as their attitude towards others. They view the Western Coalition (the democratic bloc) as inferiors and are perfectly willing to make peace with them and then attack. (DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything) When launching their nukes, the Commandant even tells his subordinates to only put the most "critical and loyal" citizens into bomb shelters, citing the projected casualties from the Western Coalition's nuclear retaliation as "acceptable".
* Averted in ''Series/BlakesSeven'' despite Creator/TerryNation's fondness for this trope (he created the Daleks after all). The sterile and [[UsedFuture shoddy]] appearance of the NoBudget sets, [[PunchClockVillain lackluster functionaries]], brainwashing of dissidents, and [[BigBrotherIsWatchingYou ubiquitous camera surveillance]] draw more from the socialist dystopia of ''Literature/NineteenEightyFour'' than ThoseWackyNazis.
* ''Series/TheBoys2019'': Stormfront's more FantasticRacism comes from [[SuperSupremacist her view of Supes]] and creating more of them with Compound V (she's also a regular racist toward Black and East Asian people). Of course, she turns out to be an actual Nazi from Hitler's time, made ageless in appearance thanks to early experiments by the Nazi scientist who invented Compound V (and then defected to the United States when she saw which way the wind was blowing).
* The season 2 [[BigBad villain]] of ''Series/{{Chuck}}'', [[NebulousEvilOrganisation Fulcrum]], uses a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:FulcrumSymbol2.JPG symbol]] that greatly resembles the Iron Eagle used by the Nazis. It also uses the Nazi colors of red, white, and black. However, the show offers no insight into Fulcrum's motivations except for a desire to preserve America's "rightful place" in the world.
* ''Series/{{Continuum}}'': The terrorists from the future constantly refer to the main character, a cop from that same future, as a fascist. It initially appears to be an example of UsefulNotes/CommonlyMisusedWords, as "fascist" is overused quite often in real life, but as the show wears on and we see more flashbacks to that future, it becomes clear that she really is a fascist. She was a decorated officer in a corporate police state that would make Big Brother proud, and she initially has no problems with the modern world stomping on freedoms and increasing security as a result of her fight with the terrorists, although she amends her views as she spends more time in the past.
* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
** [[AbsoluteXenophobe The Daleks]], of course. They're very fond of [[NoIndoorVoice shouting]], violent threats and talk about racial purity and "[[OmnicidalManiac extermination]]". More overt Nazi references come in 1965's "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS2E2TheDalekInvasionOfEarth The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]", where the Daleks refer to the destruction of the human race as "the FinalSolution" and greet each other by jerking their plungers upwards. It's nicely {{lampshade|Hanging}}d in the 2008 episode "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E13JourneysEnd Journey's End]]" when Martha teleports to Germany (on-screen text specifies 60 miles away from ''Nuremberg'' no less) to play her part in activating the [[DoomsdayDevice Osterhagen]] [[GodzillaThreshold Key]], and Daleks can be heard shouting in German: "[[AC:Exterminieren!]]"
** "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS12E1Robot Robot]]": Despite advertising themselves as using scientific principles to make the world a better place, the Scientific Reform Society is in actuality a blatantly fascist organization, right down to wearing blackshirt uniforms and armbands with stylized sigils. The receptionist for the group casually tells Sarah about the group's eugenicist desire to have "superior" people control "inferior" ones in all aspects of their lives, and the one meeting of theirs that gets shown on-screen deliberately mirrors one of UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler's rallies.
** "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS12E4GenesisOfTheDaleks Genesis of the Daleks]]": The Kaleds, {{Human Alien|s}} ancestors of the Daleks, wear [[PuttingOnTheReich black military uniforms very close to the standard Nazi uniform]], complete with faux-Iron Crosses at the neck and give Roman salutes with heel clicking.
** Then there's the new British government that shows up in the ButterflyOfDoom timeline of "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E11TurnLeft Turn Left]]". By the time the immigrants are being shipped off to "labour camps", WWII survivor Wilf knows ''exactly'' where it's going.
** The Saxon incarnation of TheMaster, who already displayed some PoliticallyIncorrectVillain tendencies, shows even more shades of this in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E17E18TheEndOfTime The End of Time]]" when he becomes blonde, [[AssimilationPlot turns every human on the planet into himself]], and calls this new race "[[{{Pun}} the Master Race]]".
** "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E11TheCrimsonHorror The Crimson Horror]]": [[EvilOldFolks Mrs. Gillyflower]]'s plan to wipe out everyone except the few who meet her rigorous standards in order to create a MasterRace and obsession with complete blind obedience from her subjects is quite reminiscent of Nazi dogma, especially since, while it's not commented on, [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything all of her perfect master race are white]]. She's also explicitly TheSocialDarwinist, planning to [[BuryYourDisabled kill off all disabled and deformed people]] along with the others she deems imperfect, including [[OffingTheOffspring her own daughter]] simply for being blind.
* ''Franchise/{{Dragnet}}'': The 1967 episode "[[Recap/Dragnet1967S1E02TheBigExplosion The Big Explosion]]" features a Neo-Nazi named Donald Chapman who tries to blow up a racially integrated school.
* ''Series/{{Farscape}}'':
** The Peacekeepers are basically Nazis [[JustForFun/RecycledInSpace IN SPACE!]], being fascist overlords who keep the peace through usually violent means with [[PuttingOnTheReich uniforms heavily inspired by Nazi attire]]. There's also the zealous obsession with keeping [[HumanAliens Sebacean]] bloodlines "pure". Any cross-breeding between Sebaceans and non-Sebacean aliens is viewed as an abomination and usually destroyed. That said, they are willing to make exceptions for [[YouAreACreditToYourRace non-Sebaceans who show particular talent at weapons development]]. Scorpius, who is the result of MedicalRapeAndImpregnate between a Sebacean woman and a Scarran (the Sebaceans' arch-enemies) male, is made a high-ranking commander due to his utter ''hatred'' of the Scarrans and his extreme intelligence.
** One-off villain [[MadScientist NamTar]] from "[[Recap/FarscapeS01E09DNAMadScientist DNA Mad Scientist]]" is explicitly compared to Dr. UsefulNotes/JosefMengele by [[FishOutOfWater John Crichton]]. When Crichton explains Mengele's ForScience motivations, [=NamTar=] [[InsultBackfire responds]] that the man sounds like a ''visionary''.
* The Wesenrein in ''Series/{{Grimm}}'', a centuries-old group of extremist Wesen that oppose "race-mixing" (a Wesen marrying a Wesen from another bloodline) and befriending Grimms (traditional enemies of the Wesen in general). Even their flags look disturbingly similar to the Third Reich's flag.
* ''Series/{{Heroes}}'':
** When Hiro travels to the future aftermath of the destruction of New York City, the future depicts Nathan Petrelli [[spoiler:(actually Sylar, who had killed Nathan far earlier)]] as president, as well as a hunting down of evolved humans in a very similar manner to UsefulNotes/NaziGermany. Mohinder even mentions sarcastically leading evolved humans into gas chambers when expressing disgust towards "Nathan's" request to test a serum that would kill evolved humans.
** Nathan is responsible for starting a similar initiative in Volume 4, where Evolved Humans are rounded up into camps to either suppress their powers or be experimented on... leading to the question, how much of what happened in the BadFuture from Volume 1 [[spoiler:was actually Nathan's doing ''before'' Sylar [[KillAndReplace stole his identity]]]]?
** Volume 5 reveals this had also briefly happened once before in secret during the 60's. Ironically, most of the former inmates went onto found The Company, who did pretty much the very same thing.
* ''Series/HighwayToHeaven'': Jonathan and Mark are sent to a Midwestern small town, where a Jewish man named Everett Solomon (a Nazi war camp survivor, whose parents were killed) is set to speak ... and the organizer of a Neo Nazi-type organization is planning to assassinate him as they make their own hate-mongering speeches. The episode's main driver -- racism, as many of Michael Landon's scripts did so eloquently -- set up the episode's [[AnAesop Aesop]]: During a planning meeting in the Neo-Nazi group's basement, the leader's son accidentally triggers a machine gun, mortally wounding the leader and two others. The Jewish man (whose son was killed by the goons) has a heart attack and needs a transplant ... and only the Nazi leader's blood type is available. Jonathan visits with the Neo-Nazi leader's wife, urging her to consent to the operation (as her husband's hateful "heart" is not the same as the biological functions of a heart, and that Solomom is a good person), which she does. After Solomom learns that he had received his sworn enemy's heart, he wants to die ... but has a renewed purpose after having a dream where his beloved son and his parents urge him to tell their story to counteract the Nazi group (before it has a chance to re-form).
* ''Series/{{Inazuman}}'': The Despar Army believe in the superiority of neo-humans and seek to totally exterminate humanity and mutants. The similarity is punctuated by how the Neo-Humans [[PuttingOnTheReich incorporate a lot of thinly-veiled Nazi imagery]] and their leader Geisel having the title of Führer, alongside being shown burning books.
* ''Series/KamenRider'': [[NebulousEvilOrganisation Shocker]] are an underground terrorist organization which seeks to convert selected humans into {{transhuman}} monsters called "kaijin", then take over the world and subjugate the rest of humankind. In a double subversion, they originally ''were'' Nazis who sought to create a literal MasterRace, but expanded to the point of recruiting people non-Nazi believers who instead took interest in the other aspects of Shocker's ideology.
** ''Series/KamenRiderOutsiders'': [[TheComputerIsYourFriend Zein]] is a tyrannical {{AI|IsACrapshoot}} that seeks to extinguish malice from humans and concluded that the extinction of humanity is the necessary step to establish new world order. Originally introduced as a BenevolentAI, but at the end of the first season, Zein is outed as the true BigBad of the spinoff, with its goal taken to a darker context to the point it plans to turn a certain video game that kills people in real time as its own personal Auschwitz by creating a cannon fodder of unsuspecting players to be sacrificed against the villains, tricking mankind into speeding up their own self-destruction.
* In ''Series/{{Lexx}}'', the Divine Order are a fascist empire who often wear leather, greet each other with salutes, and [[HumanResources repurpose the flesh of executed prisoners]]. One scene in the pilot movie even has a group of Hitler Youth-esque brainwashed kids who subsequently get [[BlackComedy eaten by giant worms]].
* In the ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' short "Mr. Hilter and the North Minehead Bi-election", Hitler flees to England and tries to become the mayor of North Minehead by [[PaperThinDisguise disguising himself as "Mr. Hilter"]]. He is joined by Ron Vibbentrop and Heinrick Bimmler.
-->'''[[VoxPops Man on the street]]:''' I don't think I like the sound of these "boncentration bamps".
* ''Series/TheOrville'': The Regorians in "[[Recap/TheOrvilleS2E5AllTheWorldIsABirthdayCake All the World is a Birthday Cake]]" are an advanced society who dress like fascists and seclude a section of their population to concentration camps. Being a sci-fi series, the spin is that their target group is based on ''astrology'', with all people who are born under a bad sign from their own history (Gilia, which collapsed into a black hole millennia ago) considered subhuman. By the same token, children born to Giliacs under a different sign are considered normal citizens.
* ''Series/{{Pennyworth}}'' has the Raven Society, a fascist organization which seeks to overthrow the British government and purge the country of all "undesirables".
* In ''Series/RobinOfSherwood'', the Sons of Fenris are a (relatively) subtle Middle Ages example. They greet Gulnar by shouting "Hail Gulnar" and punching the air, they use a sun cross as their symbol (which is not necessarily Nazi in nature, but is a banned Nazi emblem in Germany when used in an overt right-wing political context), and Adolf Hitler had a personal near-totemic fascination with wolves.
* ''Series/{{Sliders}}'':
** The Kromaggs are changed to this after the show was moved to Sci Fi Channel. They start wearing Nazi-like uniforms, having breeding programs, and claiming to be the master race. They also perform cruel experiments on humans in order to further their scientific knowledge.
** There's one episode in which the sliders visit an alternate U.S. that is turning into a Nazi-like state under a rising demagogue, Gov. Schick (presumably an allusion to Schicklgruber, the surname of Hitler's father). The episode suggests that in this alternate reality there was no Third Reich or Holocaust, making the U.S. unprepared for that type of occurrence in their own country.
* The ''Series/SpaceAboveAndBeyond'' episode "Eyes" tries to paint Nicholas Chaput, one of two candidates for UN Secretary-General, as this. The emblem of his political party is four "E"s placed in a [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything vaguely swastika-like arrangement]], he is [[InformedAttribute described as "far-right"]], and [[spoiler:his thwarted assassin asks West "what if someone had got to Hitler before he rose to power?"]] Ends up being a bit of [[spoiler:BaitAndSwitchTyrant]] -- Chaput [[spoiler:tells West that his political rival's [[MegaCorp corporation]] may have instigated war with the Chiggs]].
* ''Series/StargateSG1'' gives us the [[spoiler:Eurondans]], who are a white supremacist nation locked in a bunker with most of the planet occupied by their enemies (called "Breeders", because they [[FelonyMisdemeanor had children without regard for race]]) who they try to kill with poison gas. They also [[PuttingOnTheReich put on the Reich]]. There's a moment when Adar, the leader, expresses that he does not wish for Teal'c to return to his world. Initially it seems that he is uncomfortable because Teal'c is [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Jaffa]], but it's soon made apparent that the reason he states Teal'c is "not like us" is because he is black.
* ''Franchise/StarTrek'':
** ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'':
*** Colonel Green, the WorldWarIII leader recreated in the episode "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E22TheSavageCurtain The Savage Curtain]]" as a symbol of evil, was portrayed this way in the ExpandedUniverse novel ''Literature/StarTrekFederation'', where he's the leader of the "Optimum Movement", and his symbols include geometric shapes (interlocked triangles, rather than the swastika) and black eagles. This portrayal was continued in the ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'' episodes dealing with Terra Prime, with the hate-group's admiration of Green reflecting the neo-Nazi attitude to Hitler. (The Terra Prime arc was partly written by Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens, who also wrote ''Federation''.) A loud thudding sound accompanied ''Federation'' making its [[BigBad villain]], [[AsLongAsItSoundsForeign Adrik Thorsen]] (presumably intended to be a German name, but it ended up more Scandinavian...still Middle-to-Upper Europe, though), be blonde and blue-eyed.
*** The episode "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E21PatternsOfForce Patterns of Force]]" avoids this by not having [[SpaceRomans an alien culture coincidentally resembling Nazi Germany]], but an alien culture who are [[FourthReich consciously imitating Nazi Germany]] under the influence of a misguided human infiltrator who thought that he could culturally uplift them by replicating the, he thought, [[RepressiveButEfficient admirable social cohesion of Nazi Germany]] without the whole "racist, ableist and homophobic genocide" bit. Unfortunately, his second-in-command sympathizes with Nazi racial ideals and quickly disposes of him before introducing the Nazi racial ideology and appointing himself as a Hitler-like dictator. Not unnaturally, this led to the episode being [[BannedInChina banned in Germany]] for almost thirty years.
*** The whole concept of [[BioAugmentation genetic augmentation]] is [[NoTranshumanismAllowed presented to reflect this trope]]. In the first Eugenics Wars, a bunch of [[BewareTheSuperman superpowered dictators]] (i.e., a MasterRace) conquered the Earth until they were deposed. Afterward came the Augments, who fancied themselves a master race.
*** "[[Recap/StarTrekS1E13TheConscienceOfTheKing The Conscience of the King]]" gives us Kodos the Executioner, who culled people based on his eugenics theories, and has lived under an assumed name to escape punishment for his crimes decades later. The comparisons to the Nazis (especially in the 1960s, when knowledge of the many fugitives living underground became prominent after the capture of Adolf Eichmann) are probably intended.
** In ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'', the Cardassians are a clear analogue to a Fascist dictatorship, but as a whole, they're a mix of most of the major Fascist powers. Their actions during the Occupation of Bajor, however, have clear and distinct parallels to the Nazi regime -- right down to the forced-labor camps and their treatment of prisoners. This is alluded to throughout the first season and then put clearly on display in its second-to-last episode, "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS01E19Duet Duet]]", which deals with the labor camp Gallitep and Kira's reaction to one of its [[spoiler:supposed]] former officers -- the parallels to Auschwitz are undeniable. The parallel is never more clear than during this chilling monologue showing the Cardassian attitude toward Bajorans:
--->'''Darhe'el [[spoiler:(actually Marritza)]]:''' Oh, no, no, Major, you can't dismiss me that easily. I did what had to be done. My men understood that, and that's why they loved me. I would order them to go out and kill Bajoran scum, and they'd do it! They'd murder them! They'd come back covered in blood, but they felt clean! Now why did they feel that way, Major? Because they ''were'' clean!
** ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'':
*** The episode "[[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS5E8NothingHuman Nothing Human]]" has the Doctor consulting a holographic recreation of the Cardassian Dr. Crell Moset, before being informed by a Bajoran crewmember that Moset was a war criminal who conducted "experiments" on Bajoran force-labor camp workers, not unlike those done on concentration camp prisoners during WWII.
*** The two-parter "[[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS4E17TheKillingGame The Killing Game]]" features the Hirogen taking over Voyager and forcing the crew to participate in a World War II recreation on the holodeck, with the Hirogen [[PuttingOnTheReich roleplaying as the Nazis]]. The Alpha Hirogen is dismissive of the Nazis' claims of superiority, warning an upstart SS officer hologram never to underestimate his "prey", but his [[NumberTwo Beta]] actually adopts the ideology ''for real'' after listening to a speech given by the same SS officer, seeing many similarities between his own [[HuntingTheMostDangerousGame Hunter]]-[[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Warrior]] culture and Nazi [[TheSocialDarwinist Social Darwinist]] ideals.
*** "[[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS5E10Counterpoint Counterpoint]]" shows an authoritarian nazi-like Devore Imperium bent on eliminating every single telepath species, even children, which forces the Voyager to secretly smug refugees. The Devore military not only uses black uniforms and Nazi-like symbology, the alien commander is AffablyEvil and enjoys [[MusicToInvadePolandTo Tchaikovsky]].
** A significant portion of ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'''s first season revolves around the Terran Empire of the MirrorUniverse, the Federation's EvilCounterpart. The Terrans are fascist, rabidly xenophobic human supremacists with spiffy uniforms, a very Hitleresque salute, and a CultOfPersonality centered on their supreme leader, the Emperor. Anything nonhuman is mercilessly hunted down and either enslaved, killed or ''[[SapientEatSapient eaten]]''.
** ''Series/StarTrekPicard'': In an alternate timeline, Earth government is a fascist xenophobic dictatorship named the Confederation that has ravaged the Ferengi, Cardassians, Romulans, Klingon, Borg, etc.
* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'' used this a few times with various different groups and planets, sometimes Nazis, sometimes communists.
** The best example is "[[Recap/TheTwilightZone1959S4E4HesAlive He's Alive]]", which has Creator/DennisHopper as a Neo-Nazi figure who's advised by Hitler (He's alive meaning AsLongAsThereIsEvil; Hitler lives on intolerance).
** In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZone1959S2E6EyeOfTheBeholder Eye of the Beholder]]", the Leader is based on UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler. In his speech, he continually stresses the importance of ensuring "glorious conformity" and abiding by a single norm. He says that all that is different must be cut out like a cancerous filth as differences weaken the state.
** In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZone1959S2E29TheObsoleteMan The Obsolete Man]]", the State is based on various totalitarian regimes. In his opening narration, Rod Serling says that "it has patterned itself after every dictator who has ever planted the ripping imprint of a boot on the pages of history since the beginning of time." The Chancellor himself says that the State had predecessors who had the right idea such as UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler and UsefulNotes/JosefStalin but they did not go far enough in eliminating the undesirables such as the elderly, the sick, the maimed and the deformed.
* The Visitors of ''Series/{{V 1983}}'' and [[Series/{{V2009}} its 2009 remake]] are thinly veiled Nazi stand-ins, complete with extermination camps (meat-processing plants) and an almost-swastika logo (the show was even originally conceived as a straight adaptation of the above mentioned ''Literature/ItCantHappenHere'' before being changed to be more clearly sci-fi). In the original miniseries, a Jewish Holocaust survivor acknowledges the parallels.
* ''Series/WalkerTexasRanger'': Season 6's "[[Recap/WalkerTexasRangerS6E22TheSoulOfWinter The Soul of Winter]]" has Walker dealing with a neo-Nazi group known as the Sons of the Reich. Its leader, Stan Gorman, used to be stationed at Ford Hood with the pastor of a church the former was terrorizing, and tried to kill his son, but ended up [[MurderByMistake killing the wrong kid]].
[[/folder]]

* ''Film/DunePartTwo'': Some of the visuals outright depict the army of House Arkonnen in very similar fashion to the Wehrmacht of Nazi Germany. Also, the them trying to invade a foreign culture and Rabban Arkonnen calling people of said culture "rats" drives the Nazi similarities home.

** [[ComicBook/UltimateXMen Ultimate Magneto]], however, [[AdaptationalVillainy is another story]]. He is a clear mutant supremacist who has attempted genocide many times. Since this is an alternate Magneto, this was far better received.

* [[Characters/TheOwlHouseEmperorBelos Emperor Belos]] of ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' is a ''perfect'' example of this. Belos has some extremely heavy Nazi undertones to his characters. For starters, he is the absolute authoritarian dictator of the Boiling Isles with his own secret police in the form of the Emperor's Coven, who lock away anyone who doesn't subscribe to his plans and or beliefs, primarily Wild Witches into the Conformitorium, not unlike the Gestapo arresting dissidents primarily Jews, and throwing them into concentration camps. Secondly, he makes sure to ban any sort of knowledge that he doesn't approve of so as to keep his rule unquestioned, all the while making sure to use this lack of knowledge to create a false image of himself. [[spoiler:To top it all off, Belos is even planning his very own Holocaust in the form of [[FinalSolution the Day of Unity]], which is meant to erase all of the witches and demons of the Boiling Isles, species that [[FantasticRacism he doesn't like]], purely because he holds beliefs that said species are inherently sinful and must be eradicated.]]

* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': [[GodEmperor Yhwach]], TheEmperor of the [[PuttingOnTheReich Vandenreich]], an empire of Quincies with a German aesthetic. His Sternritter wear uniforms that bear resemblance to the apparel worn by SS personnel. The four Sternritter chosen to serve as his elite guard are called the Schutzstaffel, sharing the name of the paramilitary organization that served under Adolf Hitler. Six years prior to the start of the series, Yhwach enacted a purge on all Quincies of mixed blood, or Quincies he deemed "impure" in order to empower himself.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongebobSquarepantsMovie'': When [[BigBad Plankton]] enslaves all the citizens of Bikini Bottom, he turns Bikini Bottom into a totalitarian dystopia that appears to be eerily reminiscent of UsefulNotes/NaziGermany.

** The Daleks, of course. They're very fond of shouting, violent threats and talk about racial purity and "extermination". More overt Nazi references come in 1965's "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS2E2TheDalekInvasionOfEarth The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]", where the Daleks refer to the destruction of the human race as "the FinalSolution" and greet each other by jerking their plungers upwards. It's nicely {{lampshade|Hanging}}d in the 2008 episode "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E13JourneysEnd Journey's End]]" when Martha teleports to Germany (on-screen text specifies 60 miles away from ''Nuremberg'' no less) to play her part in activating the [[DoomsdayDevice Osterhagen]] [[GodzillaThreshold Key]], and Daleks can be heard shouting in German: "[[AC:Exterminieren!]]"

** The Daleks, of course. They're very fond of shouting, violent threats and talk about racial purity and "extermination". More overt Nazi references come in 1965's [[Recap/DoctorWhoS2E2TheDalekInvasionOfEarth "The Dalek Invasion of Earth"]], where the Daleks refer to the destruction of the human race as "the Final Solution" and greet each other by jerking their plungers upwards. It's nicely {{lampshade|Hanging}}d in the 2008 episode "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E13JourneysEnd Journey's End]]" when Martha teleports to Germany (on-screen text specifies 60 miles away from ''Nuremberg'' no less) to play her part in activating the Osterhagen Key, and Daleks can be heard shouting in German: "Exterminieren!"

** "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS12E4GenesisOfTheDaleks Genesis of the Daleks]]": The Kaleds, ancestors of the Daleks, wear [[PuttingOnTheReich black military uniforms very close to the standard Nazi uniform]], complete with faux-Iron Crosses at the neck and give Roman salutes with heel clicking.

** The Saxon incarnation of the Master, who already displayed some PoliticallyIncorrectVillain tendencies, shows even more shades of this in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E17E18TheEndOfTime The End of Time]]" when he becomes blonde, [[AssimilationPlot turns every human on the planet into himself]], and calls this new race "the Master Race".
** "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E11TheCrimsonHorror The Crimson Horror]]": A debatable example, but Mrs. Gillyflower's plan to wipe out everyone except the few who meet her rigorous standards in order to create a MasterRace and obsession with complete blind obedience from her subjects is quite reminiscent of Nazi dogma, especially since, while it's not commented on, [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything all of her perfect master race are white]]. She's also explicitly TheSocialDarwinist, planning to kill off all disabled and deformed people along with the others she deems imperfect, including her own daughter simply for being blind.

Of course, since the Nazis themselves stole symbolism, slogans, and rituals from other historical sources (and racism ''looooong'' predates their existence), much of what is associated with them today is actually far OlderThanTheyThink. (In some cases such as the UsefulNotes/NonNaziSwastika, the symbols may even have had a perfectly innocent connotation before the Nazis got their dirty hands on it.) So a few examples commonly given merely reflect generic totalitarian, cult-of-personality, and/or dictatorship elements. {{Manga}}, {{Anime}}, and other forms of Japanese entertainment will also borrow from UsefulNotes/ImperialJapan: for example, the killing of surrendering soldiers, or attempts to stamp out culture. Further justification for this trope in more recent years has been the [[NoSwastikas outlawing of Nazi swastikas]] and related imagery in Germany and other places, leading to the use of [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute similar-looking symbols]] that were not previously associated with fascism.

* Amestris, the country in which ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' takes place (probably the best anime example of this trope), is a military nation where the standard -- or you might say, the ''preferred'' look is blonde hair and blue eyes, ruled by a "Führer" who in the past sought to exterminate an ethnic group living within the borders, distinguishable by their facial features and monotheistic religion. Amestris is, however, rather more like post-UsefulNotes/WorldWarII Germany, what with the aforementioned "Ishval Civil War" having been a horrible PR catastrophe and most modern Amestrians behaving extremely apologetically towards surviving Ishvalans. The leader who initiated the genocide is somehow still seated in power and continues to uphold a destructive Lebensraum policy, [[spoiler:but it helps when you're a superpowered ArtificialHuman backed by a truly ancient and sinister GovernmentConspiracy]]. This is a somewhat unusual example in that Amestris is mainly [[WordOfGod inspired by industrial revolution era Britain, and the Ishvalans are based on the Ainu people]], but it manages to look like a parallel to Nazi Germany anyway.

** World Government despite presenting itself as a federation like organization composed of kingdoms across the globe, in reality it is more of a [[TheEmpire totalitarian regime]] controlled by an oligarch of nobles who see everyone who isn’t one of them as insects including other humans and are [[spoiler: lead by a single ruler]]. FantasticRacism is common and encourages towards other species especially towards Fishmen who have a long history of being slaves to the World Nobility, and have many assassination groups and death squads to keep them in power and maintain the status quo. Many of their high ranking Marines follow the idea of absolute justice who are willing to commit genocide against any group or nation that opposes them or deemed a potential threat, to the point that they would even erase it from existence.

** [[ComicBook/UltimateXMen Ultimate Magneto]], however, is another story. He is a clear mutant supremacist who has attempted genocide many times. Since this is an alternate Magneto, this was far better received.

* ''Film/VForVendetta'': Norsefire is essentially the British version of the Nazi Party, complete with a Hitler-esque leader (he even has a very similar mustache plus last name), a swastika-like cross symbol, genocidal persecution of LGBT people and religious minorities (in their case Muslims instead of Jews, at least that we see), concentration camps and brutal feared secret police. They also came into power as the result of a crisis which they'd engineered, not unlike some claims about the real Reichstag Fire, which helped the Nazi Party take over.

* Music/PinkFloyd's Music/TheWall has Pink become a pseudo-neo nazi leader running his Hammer army from ''[[DarkReprise In The Flesh]]'' to ''Waiting For The Worms'', after which he has a heel realization. The nazi themes are prevalent throughout, with a symbol that seems inspired by the swastika

* In the Dutch series ''WesternAnimation/AlfredJKwak'', which features humanized animals, the main character's nemesis is named Dolf. He founds a party called ''National Crows'', he takes power by staging a fascist-style coup, and while he proclaims himself Emperor and dresses in Napoleonic style, he's obviously a satire of Hitler. Oh, and he grows a ''characteristic'' mustache. Dolf also tries to enforce "racial purity" while he himself, like Hitler, is hardly up such standard - he's the son of a crow and a blackbird. Calling Dolf, well, ''Dolf'' was considered too much in Germany, in fact, where the character went by the name Kraa instead.

* [[Characters/TheOwlHouseEmperorBelos Emperor Belos]] of ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' is a ''perfect'' example of this. Belos has some extremely heavy Nazi undertones to his characters. For starters, he is the absolute authoritarian dictator of the Boiling Isles with his own secret police in the form of the Emperor's Coven, who lock away anyone who doesn't subscribe to his plans and or beliefs, primarily Wild Witches into the Conformitorium, not unlike the Gestapo arresting dissidents primarily Jews, and throwing them into concentration camps. Secondly, he makes sure to ban any sort of knowledge that he doesn't approve of so as to keep his rule unquestioned, all the while making sure to use this lack of knowledge to create a false image of himself. [[spoiler:To top it all off, Belos is even planning his very own Holocaust in the form of [[FinalSolution the Day of Unity]], which is meant to erase all of the witches and demons of the Boiling Isles, species that [[FantasticRacism he doesn't like]], purely because he holds beliefs that said species is inherently sinful and must be eradicated.]]

* Music/PinkFloyd's Music/TheWall has Pink become a pseudo-neo nazi leader running his Hammer army from [[DarkReprise In The Flesh]] to Waiting For The Worms, after which he has a heel realization. The nazi themes are prevalent throughout, with a symbol that seems inspired by the swastika

** A better received example is an alternate future/dream where Magneto wipes out humanity only to have the dead rise from their graves, including zombie Hitler who [[YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame compliments him on being such an apt pupil]]. The look on Magneto's face is priceless. That probably has something to do with this three-page sequence being the only X-Men-related material ever penned by Creator/AlanMoore.

Common elements include a [[PuttingOnTheReich black- or brown-uniformed paramilitary political force with simple geometric emblems on their arms]], centering on one person as the supreme leader heavily guarded by [[BlackShirt black-shirted longcoat-wearing minions]]. Their ideology typically consists of the leader constantly shrieking, "[[TheSocialDarwinist We are the Master Race/Species! We will reign supreme! We will crush all who oppose us! All inferiors shall submit or/and die! Hail Victory!]]" To that end, they will commit the most hideous of crimes in a heartbeat, and [[ViolenceIsTheOnlyOption the only thing that will get them to stop is unyielding force]].

* In ''ComicBook/{{Tomahawk}}'' #112, Tomahawk battles a Hessian officer named Van Grote: a TortureTechnician who is rounding civilians sympathetic to the rebel cause and imprisoning them in them is prison camps (surrounded by anachronistic barbed wire). To further drive the point home he has adopted a good luck symbol stolen from a local Indian chief as his personal symbol: the swastika[[note]]Never mind that the swastika was a symbol of luck for the Navajo: a tribe located nowhere the original 13 colonies.[[/note]] His personal troops wear the symbol on an armband.
