* ''GundamSEED'' spices it up by having Blue Cosmos, and LOGOS be the force behind the Atlantic Federation (the most powerful group within the Earth Alliance) when the Atlantic Federation begins control of the Earth Alliance, the war becomes a war to annihilate the Coordinators. Their opponent, Zaft is not much better as its leader Patrick Zala believes in the extermination of all Naturals, and both sides freely began massacring any surviving enemy. With the results being defections on both sides joining ORB.

* The Principality of Zeon and its successor movement Neo Zeon from UC ''{{Gundam}}'' timeline. The most famous instance is where Prince Gihren Zabi turns a state funeral into a political rally, with the audience shouting "Sieg Zeon" ([[http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=DZUt8BSs8Sw Hail Zeon]] in the dub). [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] when King Degwin Zabi compares his son, Gihren to Hitler and Gihren accepts it as a complement.

** On the other side of the war, the Titans in Zeta Gundam also have an SS vibe.
** [[MobileSuitGundamUnicorn The Sleeves]] have more nazi base mobile suits like The Geara Zulu that have Nazi Helmets even one of the soldiers shouts out All Hail Neo Zeon

* Sherman Alexie's short story "The Sin Eaters" provides an inversion of this trope: Rounding up minorities in concentration camps? Check. But why? To get bone marrow from them to fight a plague and, rather than wiping them out, ''[[MateOrDie forcibly breeding[['' them. The woman the narrator is forced to mate with points out that [[ShotaCon he's just twelve]] AndThatsTerrible.

* [[HeWhoFightsMonsters Ironically]], Israel. Ariel Sharon once said "Call Israel by any name you like, [[LampshadeHanging call it a Judeo-Nazi state]] as does Leibowitz. Why not? Better a live Judeo-Nazi than a dead saint."

*** On the other hand, many fans were disappointed by the fact that "Victory of the Daleks" (2010) completely failed to point up the parallels, despite having ''the Daleks taking part in World War II.''

* Breiking Boss and his Androkorps in ''ShinzoNingenCasshern'' are and evil android army that seek to eradicate the human race. Amongst their many Nazi-esque traits are a swasitka-like insignia and a faux(?)-German salute "Yartze Brakkin!"

** You might then be interested in Operation Rebirth from Evolution. Logan explains the super soldier program used to turn Steve Rogers into Captain America. Xavier's reply? "A master race?" Logan gets the hint and claims it was the good guys behind the project.

* The 1995 film adaptation of {{Shakespeare}}'s ''RichardIII'' (starring {{Ian McKellen}}) gives us a SettingUpdate, with ChristieTime Britain gradually PuttingOnTheReich and turning into a Nazi-esque/Orwellian state. Richard's heraldic boar is even incorporated into an exact copy of the Nazi flag ''in the place of a svastika''. Surprisingly, the movie works quite well - both as a Shakespeare adaptation and as a satire on the inter-war period's nonchalance toward the rise of authoritarian regimes.

* FrankHerbert has stated that he based House Harkonnen from the ''{{Dune}}'' novels on the Nazis.

* In RobertJordan's ''{{Wheel of Time}}'', the False Dragon Mazrim Taim creates ranks that the Nazi used. This is more of a KickTheDog moment to show that Taim is evil and cannot be trusted, rather than trying to portray Taim as Hitler. He also refers to himself as the "M'Hael", or "Leader", and General Bashere is uncertain he's the real Taim because he's shaved his mustache, which may be a subtle LampshadeHanging.

* In Wodehouse's ''{{Jeeves and Wooster}}'', Sir Roderick Spode is leader of the Black Shorts, obviously based on OswaldMoseley's {{Black Shirt}}s. His followers shout, 'Heil Spode!' In the TV series, the Black Shorts use the 'flash in the pan' symbol associated with the Black Shirts.

* [=~S. M. Stirling~=] has stated that his goal in creating {{the Draka}} was to imagine a Nazi-like country that actually [[{{The Bad Guy Wins}} knew what it was doing]]. The Draka are like the Nazis but {{darker and edgier}}. In fact, the first novel of the Draka tetralogy is set in the opening hours of [[{{Evil versus Evil}} a war between the Draka and Nazi Germany]], which eventually leads to the [[{{Curbstomp Battle}} fall of Europe]].

* {{The Underland Chronicles}} gives us [[{{EvilAlbino}} the Bane]], a scarily good orator who [[spoiler: wreaks Holocaust-esque genocide on a group of innocent mice ("nibblers"). [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything He tells them that he is only "relocating" them yet again; however, this is discovered to be false when he traps them under a volcano and gasses them to death.]] ]]

* ''TwilightZone'' used this a few times with various different groups and planets, sometimes Nazis, sometimes communists. The Best example is He's Alive, which has DennisHopper as a Neo-Nazi figure who's advised by Hitler (He's alive meaning SoLongAsThereIsEvil, Hitler lives on in tolerance).

* Parodied in {{Monty Pythons Flying Circus}} with "Mr. Hilter" and his cronies "Beinrich Bimmler" and "Ron Vibbentrop".

[[AC:MusicVideos]]
* The music video for the Pearl Jam song "Do the Evolution" (seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=copOYXvEsRs here]]has a scene with what are implied to be Nazi troops, but the Swastika is replaced by another symbol. However, the symbol is actually similar to the symbol used by the SS.

*** Also, mutation in 40k usually involve BodyHorror, PsychicPowers, NegativeSpaceWedgies and EldritchAbomination. They have a REASON to actually fear mutants.

* The Xylvanians from '' Battalion Wars'' are a theme park version of it and WWI Imperial Germany.All of its military are modeled off of Nazi infantry,vehicles,and aircraft and the same feeling of superiority and inferior races exists between Xylvania and other countries

* ''Suikoden'' has several Bazi groups.

** Ironically, a great deal of their more outright disturbing aspects come from where they BREAK with Nazi doctrine. You see, the Nazis had blind spots that the well-connected and cunning could take advantage of. They did not immediately kill every undesirable, and indeed many of their grotesquely corrupt members actually saved the lives of these unfortunates by blackmailing them for virtually anything they had. If they just didn't kill them anyway. This is where the Black Lance is even more terrifying, because the Black Lance does NOT descriminate , it does not wait, it does not accept bribes, and is very, VERY effective because [[KnightsTemplar they believe that the fate of the human race depends upon]] [[InferredHolocaust purging it of such "impurities" and subjecting what is left to massive continual warfare as a case of very drastic "survival of the Fittest" evolution]]. Which in manys ways makes them even WORSE because they do not kid around.

* Since ''ExoSquad'' is basically the European Theater of [[WorldWarII WWII]] [[RecycledInSpace IN SPACE!]], it's no suprise that Phaeton's Neosapien Order has Naziesque qualities in rhetoric and ideology, and somewhat in practice.

***** That's not actually true. Even though he was friendly towards the Nazis his policies were always significantly different. He had much more in common with Latin American dictatorships than either the Nazis or Italian Fascists. [[ThatWordYouKeepUsing Remember that fascism is a specific form of authoritarianism]], not just authoritarianism in of itself (otherwise we'd be perfectly justified calling the Soviets fascists!).

* ''Modern'' North Korea. Ever since Kim Jong Il succeded his father in the early 90'es, he was moving progressively from the communist and socialist roots of the regime into this. He instated an infamous "songun" (or "military first") policy, giving the military increasingly broad and sweeping powers and increasing its funding and support -- mostly bacause his own powerbase was first and foremost in the Army, not in the Workers' Party of Korea. The government later begun to deemphacise the communist rhetoric in its documents, ending up finally removing all mentions of the communism in the Constitution. The regime also heavily promotes Korean nationalism... -- you can see the direction. Plus, there's the whole cult of personality centered around the leader thing...

* ReBoot is very blatant about this. Megabyte is even called "mein fuhrer" by HerrDocktor and the bi-nomes loyal to him after Megabyte's fall are call neo-virals. The BadFuture where Megabyte took over had all of his subjects tattooed with bar codes.

* In ''{{Starcraft}}'', the United Powers League, forerunner to the United Earth Directorate, definitely invoked images of the Nazis, only more successful. Religion and unsanctioned languages were erased from existence to make way for the "divinity of mankind" while the "impure" members of humanity - 400 million cyborgs, mutants, and criminals - were exterminated.

* Since the movie ''StarshipTroopers'' is a parody of the novel, they use the Nazi-like symbolism to portray the humans as an [[HumansAreBastards evil invading race]] by PuttingOnTheReich, and occasionally showing a propaganda commercial. One [[FanWank fan theory]] is that the humans faked the asteroid attack to justify the invasion. Either that, or used the opportunity provided by the otherwise natural asteroid strike to start a war.

* The Khmer Rouge, a Maoist faction in Cambodia, established a [[PeoplesRepublicOfTyranny Khmer nationalist state]] and slaughtered half the Cambodian populace on the basis of their race, religion, beliefs, wealth and even those wearing glasses, claiming they were "evil intellectuals" and thus an enemy of the state, in their pursuit of an agrarian utopia. Sound pretty Nazi to me...

** Don't forget the {{Megacorp}}orations that are mentioned to have been dissolved by [[spoiler:Emperor Lelouch]]. They are most likely a combination of the Japanese ''Zaibatsu'' with the mercantilist corporations of the colonial era (ie. the East India Company, and so forth). It fits into a Fascist system due to Fascism usually being described as having strong corporate influence in the government (strongly seen in Mussollini's Italy and Nazi Germany).
** Even better, whenever anyone says "hail" in the Japanese version it's pronounced to sound like "heil". "ALL HEIL BRITANNIA" indeed.
** Don't forget the Purist Faction and what they stand for (i.e. Blood Purity and Pollution theories). At one point, Euphie is convinced to overlook an apparently talented painter's work due to his having a smidgeon of Eleven blood.

** On the other hand the ''good guys'' worshiped a messianic warlord, held traditional civilization in contempt, were arrogant about their physical prowess, had an arcane occultist religion which included the use of narcotics, and launched a holy war for the liberation of their race. DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything?
