* One episode of ''Series/{{Community}}'' ended with [[TyrantTakesTheHelm Chang]] holding a meeting with his EnfantTerrible army, managing to act like [[UsefulNotes/GeorgeSPatton Patton]] and [[UsefulNotes/BenitoMussolini Mussolini]] at the same time.
* In the ''Series/CornerGas'' episode "Dark Circles", Brent gets a new black shirt that inspires Wanda to do her job much more quickly and nervously. Entirely accidental on Brent's part.

* The Media Police in 1990 cyberpunk obscurity Film/Megaville wear what seems to be a variety of German military surplus in an attempt to evoke this.

*** In Film/RogueOne and ''[[Film/Solo Solo]]'' the Nazi comparisons are heightened, as now Imperial officers wear German-style greatcoats, and their immigration officers wear early SS-style brown shirts and black caps and skirts.
** Several sequences in the movies had a definite [[Film/TriumphOfTheWill Riefenstahl]] flair; [[Film/ThePhantomMenace the Trade Federation droids marching through an arch on Naboo]] (inspired by actual footage of Nazis marching through the Arc de Triomphe in Paris), [[Film/AttackOfTheClones Palpatine watching the Clone Troopers marching into their transports]] (closely resembling Hitler watching Nazi marches), [[Film/ANewHope' the Rebel Alliance awards ceremony]] being modeled directly from a scene in ''Triumph''. The one exception was the Imperial inspection parade in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' as it was inspired by the Soviet Union's May Day Parades.

** The Death Eaters in Film/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire, Lord Voldemort's following of [[FantasticRacism magical blood purists]], wear robes similar to the Ku Klux Klan, not helped that they also organize torchlit riots.

** : The Commandant and his cronies in "[[Recap/TheOuterLimits1995S3E7TheCamp The Camp]]" wear black uniforms evoking old Prussian uniforms, and are, well, guarding a concentration camp.
** : In "[[Recap/TheOuterLimits1995S5E21StarCrossed Star Crossed]]", the Hing evoke the Nazis with their Prussian-inspired red uniforms and attitude, which is unsurprising considering that the episode is a WholePlotReference to ''Film/{{Casablanca}}''.

* In the {{dieselpunk}}ish 1995 film version of ''Film/RichardIII'' (starring Creator/IanMcKellen), the titular character's outfit is based off of a SS-''Oberstgruppenfuhrer'''s uniform. Additionally, his government's flag is basically the Nazi flag, but with his personal heraldic figure, a boar, in place of the swastika. This Richard is similar in appearance to Oswald Mosley, the leader of Britain's home-grown Fascist movement during the 1930s. There are also many visual {{ShoutOut}}s to ''Literature/NineteenEightyFour'' in the film.
* ''Franchise/RoboCop'' has this quite a bit. Clarence Boddicker from [[Film/RoboCop1987 the first movie]] wears glasses resembling those worn by Heinrich Himmler and OCP evokes this quite a bit with corporate logo being white circle on a red background with a stylized O, C and P in black on the circle instead of a swastika. The company's private army in ''Film/RoboCop2'' wear totalitarian longcoats and caps. The Rehabs in ''Film/RoboCop3'' wear grey uniforms, and their oppressive tactics are reminiscent of Nazis; Bertha even outright calls them "Nazi sons of bitches!"

* ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness'': The new Starfleet dress uniforms seem to hint at the undercurrent of increased militarism in the alternate timeline, some of them look like something straight out of the [[Franchise/StarWars Imperial Navy]].
** Although, strangely enough, they're now made of denim. The Gap must still exist in the future.
** Though they do also strongly resemble the uniforms from ''Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture'', with the shoulder pips denoting rank in a similar fashion to those on the [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration 24th-century uniforms]].
** Also, the brown uniforms (presumably Marines/ground forces or enlisted) evoke an image of World War 2 British and US Army uniforms.
* ''Franchise/StarWars'': The Galactic Empire, in spades.
** Their soldiers are called "Stormtroopers" (an ambiguous term in English, used to translate both ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stormtrooper Stosstruppen]]'' and ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturmabteilung Sturmabteilung]]''). And Darth Vader's helmet vaguely resembles a ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stahlhelm Stahlhelm]]'' (It's also based on the samurai ''kabuto''; the concept art made this vastly more obvious). The crew members on the Walkers appear to be wearing ''Wehrmacht'' uniforms down to the helmets, only with goggles added. Even some of their weapons are modified versions of [=WW2=] German Army equipment. For example, the DLT-19 Heavy Blaster Rifle used by the stormtroopers is a modified MG-34 machine gun and the A-280 was made using casts of the Sturmgewehr 44.
** Most blatant of all are the ExpandedUniverse's description of [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Commission_for_the_Preservation_of_the_New_Order COMPNOR]], a SA-SS hybrid. There's even a "[[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sub-Adult_Group Sub-Adult Group]]"; [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitler_Youth real subtle]].
** Several sequences in the movies had a definite [[Film/TriumphOfTheWill Riefenstahl]] flair:
*** In ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', there is a shot of Trade Federation droids marching through an arch on Naboo that was almost certainly inspired by actual footage of Nazis marching through the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
*** In ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'', there was a scene of Palpatine watching the Clone Troopers goosestepping as they prepare to be deployed for war to kick some Separatist ass in such a way that very closely resembles Hitler's watching the Nazi soldiers.
*** ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' was by far the most blatant use of the trope, as a lot of the film depicts things that are unmistakably similar to how UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler came to power. In the novelization, Palpatine even says that his empire will last for ten thousand years in what is unmistakably a reference to Hitler's vow of a Thousand Year Reich.
*** ''Film/ANewHope'': The Rebel Alliance awards ceremony at the end of the movie is modeled directly from a scene in ''Triumph of the Will''.
*** ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' has the shot of thousands of troops lined up to welcome the Emperor. Ironically, Creator/GeorgeLucas stated in the commentary that that scene in particular was actually intended to reference the May Day Parades of what was at the time the Soviet Union.
** In ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'', the Empire's [[https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Galactic_Empire?file=Imperial_Emblem.svg black emblem]] is now displayed in a white circle on the center of bright red banners.
** By ''Film/TheForceAwakens'', the remnants of the Empire (since christened the First Order) manage to take this '''further''', down to the Riefenstahl imagery (''example pictured''). Tellingly, they take more after the infamous [[StateSec SS]] than the ''Wehrmacht'' influences in the original trilogy, with Abrams even directly comparing them to [[ArgentinaIsNaziLand Nazis who fled to South America after the war]].

* In "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E4MirrorMirror Mirror, Mirror]]", the military of the Terran Empire uses the Roman salute (aka the Nazi salute) to greet one another. When we see the Terran Empire again in the ''Enterprise'' episode 'In a Mirror, Darkly', their universe's equivalent to Starfleet's MACO has a skull logo evoking the infamous totenkopf.

* In ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows'', the Ministry of Magic becomes this after Voldemort takes over. The {{Mooks}} wear gray versions of the standard SA uniform, higher officials like Runcorn wear longcoats similar to those of the SS, and the Ministry starts issuing anti-muggle-born propaganda very similar to the antisemitic tracts issued by the Third Reich. Similarly, Voldemort's own Death Eaters wear hooded robes very similar to those of the Ku Klux Klan, but in black instead of white. When the regular Ministry of Magic temporarily become bad guys in ''[[Film/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix Order of the Phoenix]]'', they go for a Stalin-era Soviet look.

* The logo of the evil 'Omega' regime in ''Film/WarriorOfTheLostWorld'' is [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything an inverted red triangle, with a white disc and a black omega]], seen on the black jumpsuits of its soldiers. Oddly though, one of the wasteland gangs helping the [[LaResistance freedom fighters struggling against Omega]] wear ''actual Nazi uniforms'', presumably leftovers from Italian war movies.

** The Ekosians in ''[[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries The Original Series]]'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E21PatternsOfForce Patterns of Force]]", a society deliberately modeled after Nazi Germany. Aliens cosplaying as Nazis would appear again, like the Hirogen in the ''[[Series/StarTrekVoyager Voyager]]'' episode 'The Killing Game' playing Nazis in a simulation of occupied France, or the Na'kuhl in the ''[[Series/StarTrekEnterprise Enterprise]]'' episode 'Storm Front' travelling back in time to ally with the actual Nazis and wear their uniforms.
*** In "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E4MirrorMirror Mirror, Mirror]]", the military of the Terran Empire uses the Roman salute (aka the Nazi salute) to greet one another. When we see the Terran Empire again in the ''Enterprise'' episode 'In a Mirror, Darkly', their universe's equivalent to Starfleet's MACO has a skull logo evoking the infamous totenkopf.
** Mirror-Odo's uniform in the ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' episode "Crossover" evokes this. Though still recognizably Bajoran, it is all-black and fitted with a high collar and a belt.

** ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'':
*** There's an overt example, with a society (at the instruction of a Federation observer) copying Nazi Germany ''exactly'' in "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E21PatternsOfForce Patterns of Force]]".
*** In "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E4MirrorMirror Mirror, Mirror]]", the MirrorUniverse Starfleet uses the Roman salute (aka the Nazi salute) to greet one another.

** The ''[[Series/StarTrekVoyager Voyager]]'' episode "The Killing Game" featured hunter-race the Hirogen capturing the Voyager crew and forcing them to re-enact a [=WW2=] holoprogram, with the Hirogen taking the part of the Nazis in occupied France. They wore their Nazi uniforms when outside the holodeck too. However, only one of them [[ANaziByAnyOtherName actually believes in the Nazi philosophy]] - the leader is ready to strike a deal with Janeway in exchange for the holodeck technology.
** ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'' goes all the way in the episode "Storm Front", which has aliens with a Nazi-like ideology going back in time, ''allying with the actual Nazis'', and wearing ''actual Nazi uniforms''. And then there's the Imperial Starfleet uniforms from "In A Mirror, Darkly", which are generally like their prime universe counterparts, but now include Sam Browne belts and black and silver rank epaulettes. As well, the MACO insignia is now a Totenkopf-like skull rather than the Mako Shark.

** The Master sports a SS uniform when meeting the Doctor in the second part of [[Recap/DoctorWhoS38E1E2Spyfall Spyfall]]''.
* The Peacekeepers from ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' slightly follow this; they have a predilection for imagery involving red, white and black, though their logo was actually taken from El Lissitzky's pro-Bolshevik propaganda poster, 'Beat the Whites with the Red Wedge', but when it comes to uniforms the nearest they get is Bialar Crais' uniform. Otherwise they're in futuristic jumpsuits or borderline BDSM gear.

* Kommander Nuveen Kroll in Series/Otherworld is almost always sporting a futuristic riff on a Nazi-era German uniform.

* ''Series/BabylonFive'': The black uniforms of the Psi Cops. And the black armbands of the Nightwatch (some of whom wore brown shirts to boot). Also a man witnessed in the future trying to slander Babylon 5 personnel for propaganda purposes, and the pin on his jacket bears a symbol very much like the SS double lightning bolts.

* The Peacekeepers from ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' are Space Nazis. Fascism, racial purity, the uniforms, color scheme, everything. [[CommieNazis Although their emblem actually comes from a 1920s Bolshevik army.]]

** Mirror-Odo's uniform in the ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' episode "Crossover" evokes this. Though still recognizably Bajoran, it is all-black and fitted with a high collar and a belt. Then there's Gul [[strike:Hitler]] Dukat, plus the Section 31 uniforms.

* ''Film/ThingsToCome:'' "Wings Over the World" wear black uniforms, and intend to absorb all independent countries into their new world order. Filmed in 1936, so they are the good guys.

* The future dystopia's police in Film/TheNewGladiators wear black uniforms, and is run by a sadistic officer sporting a skull and crossbones badge on his peaked cap

* The human forces in ''Film/ConquestOfThePlanetOfTheApes''. They all have either black S.S.-like umiforms or in some cases, gray unforms resembling other Nazi soldiers.

* Also subverted by the San Angeles P.D. in ''Film/DemolitionMan''. Their leather jackets, jodhpur breeches and jackboots look appropriately authoritarian, but they're just as ineffectual and wimpy as the regime they maintain, having no further strategy for an uncooperative suspect beyond adding "Or else!" to their verbal commands.

* In ''Film/LandOfTheDead'', which has the subtlety of a sledgehammer even by the standards of the previous Creator/GeorgeARomero zombie films, has the bigoted BigBad whose security forces dress up in grey uniforms that look quite similar to the of the Nazi.

* In the movie''Film/TopSecret'', East Germany is parodied as a bootleg Third Reich, with everyone wearing Nazi-era uniforms and gags such as a novelty clock in the malt shop portraying a cartoon Adolf Hitler whose arms are the clock hands, and General Streck passing the time by reading 'Hermann Goering's Workout Book'.

* ''Film/SuperMarioBros1993'' provides fascist undertones to Koopa's regime, particularly in regards to the Goombas' "Storm Trooper" inspired uniforms. Additionally, early scripts indicate "lizarddom" and racial superiority as chief motivations for Koopa; he feels that mammals are inferior and need to be kept in check while eating plants (herbivores) is a sign of a race's decline.

* In the movie''Film/TopSecret'',East Germany is parodied as a bootleg Third Reich, with everyone wearing Nazi-era uniforms and gags such as a novelty clock in the malt shop portraying a cartoon Adolf Hitler whose arms are the clock hands, and General Streck passing the time by reading 'Hermann Goering's Workout Book'.

* The Genii in ''Series/StargateAtlantis'' have uniforms that bear a fair resemblance to some German uniforms from ''UsefulNotes/WorldWarI''.

* ''Series/StrangerThings'': A variant. Eleven's serial number is tattooed on her left forearm, right where the Nazis put it on people in the camps. She's also essentially a government slave and used as a human test subject in completely unethical, illegal ways, which the Nazis did as well. And her "owners"' tactics in trying to retrieve Eleven once she escapes easily put them into Nazi territory.

** : In "[[Recap/TheOuterLimits1995S5E21StarCrossed Star Crossed]]", the Hing evoke the Nazis with their slightly Prussian-inspired red uniforms and attitude, which is unsurprising considering that the episode is a WholePlotReference to ''Film/{{Casablanca}}''.
* The episode 'Usher II' in ''The Ray Bradbury Theater'' has a future where the SS-like 'Moral Climates' bands all art and imagination deemed repugnant, and natch their members wear black Prussian-inspired uniforms and their logo is inspired by the SS lightning bolts

* The uniforms of the Visitors in ''Series/{{V 1983}}'' are more in the realm of [[SpaceClothes]], but their logo is pretty much a broken-up swastika to show they're still fascists.
** Averted by the remake, which takes a different tack. The enigmatic but charismatic Vs suddenly arrive with messages of hope, change, and universal health care.

* ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad'' gives us a rather unconventional example in the War Boys, who look like ''Neo''-Nazi skinheads. Given that their leader is obsessed with eugenically breeding the perfect son and has indoctrinated them into believing in a twisted interpretation of Norse paganism not unlike some real Neo-Nazis practice, this is almost certainly intentional.

* In the movie''Film/TopSecret'',East Germany is portrayed, in a parody tone, as a miniature of the Third Reich, with frequent direct references to nazi era in the sight gags, such as a novelty clock in the malt shop portraying a cartoon Adolf Hitler whose arms are the clock hands, and General Streck passing the time by reading "Hermann Goering's Workout Book. Also, in the film the soldiers of the Nationale Volksarmee are shown wearing the traditional Stahlhelm, rather than the M56 helmet used in real life, which was more similar to that of the Soviet army.

* The logo of the evil 'Omega' regime in ''Film/WarriorOfTheLostWorld'' is [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything an inverted red triangle, with a white disc and a black omega]], seen on the black jumpsuits of its soldiers. Oddly though, one of the wasteland gangs making up the [[LaResistance freedom fighters struggling against Omega]] have people dressed ''in actual Nazi uniforms'', presumably wardrobe leftovers from Italian war movies.

* ''Series/TheOuterLimits1995'': In "[[Recap/TheOuterLimits1995S5E21StarCrossed Star Crossed]]", the Hing evoke the Nazis, which is unsurprising considering that the episode is a WholePlotReference to ''Film/{{Casablanca}}''.

* The sci-fi television miniseries ''Series/{{V 1983}}'', which is hardly surprising as it was adapted from a script about the rise of a fascist movement in the United States. Notably such aspects as the swastika-like Visitor's flag, the Friends of the Visitors (Hitler Youth), the persecution of scientists (Jews), [[LesCollaborateurs collaborators]], the creation of fake 'incidents' to justify Visitor policies, the Great Leader (Fuhrer) and Diana's Mengele-like experiments.

** The Scientific Reform Society in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS12E1Robot "Robot"]] seeks to overthrow democracy and replace it with a society ruled by a scientific elite; natch, their uniforms are {{palette swap}}s of Nazi uniforms, and their organization's logo is inspired by fascist symbolism.
** The Kaled Military Elite in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS12E4GenesisOfTheDaleks "Genesis of the Daleks"]] wear black uniforms consisting of breeches, jackboots and armbands. Their symbol is an eye with lightning bolts behind it, and their own bespectacled Himmler allegory, Nyder, an Iron Cross in earlier episodes (it was removed partway through due to the show's staff finding it a bit ''too'' on the nose). No wonder the Kaleds became [[ScaryDogmaticAliens the Daleks]].
** The 'Caretaker' police force that guards the titiular [[Recap/DoctorWhoS24E2ParadiseTowers "Paradise Towers"]] all wear grey uniforms with peaked caps. The Chief Caretaker having has a Hitler moustache and his underling, the Deputy Chief Caretaker, wears a pantomime SS uniform. This is a mild subversion, as the Caretakers are more just inept bureacratic than evil.
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS24E4Dragonfire "Dragonfire"]] also has another odd example of this in the form of intergalactic shopping centre Iceworld's security force, who all wear stark-white Prussian style uniforms that are even worn with white pickelhaubes. Iceworld's villainous owner, Kane, was originally named 'Hess' (after Rudolph Hess) in the original script, and [[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk he naturally dies by his face melting too]].
** A rare example of this in the 2005 series was the [[StateSec Memory Police]] in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS36E8TheLieOfTheLand 'The Lie of the Land']], whose logo is [[https://www.yourprops.com/movieprops/original/yp618c39d0110579.07338806/Doctor-Who-2017-Memory-Police-Medal-The-Lie-of-the-Land-5.jpg a pair of lightning bolts and their officers wear black SS-like uniforms]].

* ''The logo of the evil 'Omega' regime in ''Film/WarriorOfTheLostWorld'' is [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything an inverted red triangle, with a white disc and a black omega]], seen on the black jumpsuits of its soldiers. Oddly though, one of the wasteland gangs making up the [[LaResistance freedom fighters struggling against Omega]] have people dressed ''in actual Nazi uniforms'', presumably wardrobe leftovers from Italian war movies.

* In ''Film/BankShot'', the guards in Streiger's prison wear uniforms that make them look like Brownshirts.

* In the 1987 Hindi film ''Mr. India'', everyone in the EvilOverlord Mogambo's organisation greets each other with 'Hail Mogambo', and his soldiers wear uniforms that look like SS uniforms.

** The Scientific Reform Society in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS12E1Robot "Robot"]] seeks to overthrow democracy and replace it with a society ruled by a scientific elite; natch, their uniforms are {{palette swap}}s of Nazi uniforms, and their organization's logo is heavy inspired by fascist symbolism.

* The Eastern Alliance in ''Series/BattlestarGalactica1978'' is a xenophobic, militaristic regime on [[PlanetTerra Terra]], whose officers wear black uniforms evoking the SS, with the one officer we see even being named 'Leiter'.

* ''Series/BattlestarGalactica1978'' has the Eastern Alliance, one of the factions on planet Terra (despite the name, it's [[PlanetTerra not Earth]]). Their uniforms, symbolism, and ideology is clearly based on fascism. Their primary belief is that they are destined to be the rulers of the universe, and anyone who disagrees or does not bow down is to be exterminated. They're even willing to let millions of their own people be killed by retaliatory nuclear strikes in order to solve their overpopulation problems. A glaring example: they broker a secret peace treaty with the Nationalists... only to break it when it's convenient. Sound familiar? Their officer claims that they are the greatest military power in the universe... until they see the ''Galactica''. Initially shocked by her size, he resumes his rhetoric after finding out that she's the last of her kind.

* The uniforms of the Alliance Navy in ''Series/{{Firefly}}''. It doesn't help that many Alliance uniforms were left over from the Starship Troopers movie, which definitely ''did'' have ''slight'' fascistic overtones.

* ''Series/StargateAtlantis'':
** The Genii have uniforms that bear a fair resemblance to some German uniforms from ''UsefulNotes/WorldWarI''.
** A downplayed version occurs in "The Condemned", which features a society that deports its prisoners to the vicinity of the planet's Stargate so the Wraith will feed only on them, where the Magistrate's uniform bears some fascistic overtones.

** The 'Military Elite' that rules the Kaleds in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS12E4GenesisOfTheDaleks "Genesis of the Daleks"]] wear black uniforms consisting of breeches, jackboots and armbands. Their symbol is an eye with lightning bolts behind it, and their own bespectacled Himmler allegory, Nyder even wears an Iron Cross in earlier episodes (it was removed partway through due to the show's staff finding it a bit ''too'' on the nose). No wonder the Kaleds became [[ScaryDogmaticAliens the Daleks]].

** The 'Military Elite' that rules the Kaleds in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS12E4GenesisOfTheDaleks "Genesis of the Daleks"]] wear black jackets, breeches and jackboots, with their bodyguards being Blackshirts in all but name. Their symbol is an eye with lightning bolts behind it, and their own de-spectacled Himmler allegory, Nyder, even wears the Iron Cross in earlier episodes (it was removed partway through due to the show's staff finding it a bit ''too'' on the nose). It's no wonder the Kaleds became [[ScaryDogmaticAliens the Daleks]].

** The main antagonists of [[Recap/DoctorWhoS12E1Robot "Robot"]] are the Scientific Reform Society, which presents itself as an altruistic organization that seeks to improve the world with science, but in reality is a neofascist organization who makes no effort to hide their beliefs (especially their faith in eugenics) when pressed. Their uniforms are {{palette swap}}s of Nazi uniforms, and their rallies are even modeled after Hitler's speeches.
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS12E4GenesisOfTheDaleks "Genesis of the Daleks"]] shows us the backstory of the [[ScaryDogmaticAliens Daleks]], who Creator/TerryNation deliberately modeled after the Nazis, and no wonder they turned out the way they did. The Kaleds (the species they evolved from) are equally as xenophobic, with their soldiers dressed in black uniforms and the "Military Elite" wearing black jackets, breeches and jackboots, their bodyguards being Blackshirts in all but name. Their symbol is an eye with lightning bolts behind it, and their own de-spectacled Himmler allegory, Nyder, even wears the Iron Cross in earlier episodes (it was removed partway through due to the show's staff finding it a bit ''too'' on the nose).
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS24E2ParadiseTowers "Paradise Towers"]] has the future resort of its title guarded by the 'Caretaker' police force, who all wear grey uniforms with peaked caps. The Chief Caretaker having has a Hitler moustache and his underling, the Deputy Chief Caretaker, wears a pantomime SS uniform. This is a mild subversion, as while the Caretakers are officious bureaucrats, they're not really evil.
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS24E4Dragonfire "Dragonfire"]] also has another odd example of this in the form of intergalactic shopping centre Iceworld's security force, who all wear stark-white Prussian style uniforms that are even worn with white pickelhaubes. This is due to Iceworld's villainous owner, Kane, being named 'Hess' (after Rudolph Hess) in the original script, and [[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk he naturally dies by his face melting too]].

** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS7E4Inferno "Inferno"]] is set in a parallel universe where the UK is a fascist regime called the [[PeoplesRepublicOfTyranny "Republic of Great Britain"]], with UNIT replaced by the "Republican Security Force" who wear brown shirts, black caps and whose ranks are English translations of Nazi ones. It is heavily implied that the regime is the [[DayOfTheJackboot result of Britain losing WWII]]

** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS7E4Inferno "Inferno"]] is set in a parallel universe where the UK is a Nazi-style dystopia called the [[PeoplesRepublicOfTyranny "Republic of Great Britain"]]. Instead of UNIT, it's the "Republican Security Force", with UNIT's beige uniforms being replaced with brown shirts, black caps and SS rank insignia. Even the ranks are English translations of Nazi Party ranks. It's heavily implied that the regime is the [[DayOfTheJackboot result of Britain losing WWII]]

** A weird inversion: The [[TheNthDoctor Ninth Doctor]]'s leather jacket was patterned after a German submariner's jacket ([[http://www.thebadwolf.com/vintage.htm source]]). This is probably to reflect the fact that the Doctor has attempted (and from the audience's perspective, ''succeeded in'') an actual, intentional genocide by this point. Commented on by Captain Jack in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E9TheEmptyChild "The Empty Child"]], set in [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII 1941 London]]:
--->'''Jack:''' The way you guys are blending in with the local colour – I mean [[WearingAFlagOnYourHead Flag Girl]] is bad enough, but ''U-Boat Captain''?
** A more subtle example can be seen in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E7TheIdiotsLantern "The Idiot's Lantern"]], in which the TV antennae are shaped like swastikas.
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E11TurnLeft "Turn Left"]]: In the {{crapsack|World}} alternate timeline, the '''British government''' goes this route, if Wilf's comment when the Colasantos are taken away is any indication:
--->'''Wilf:''' "Labour camps". That's what they called them last time.\\
'''Donna:''' ...what d'you mean?\\
'''Wilf:''' It's happening again.\\
'''Donna:''' What is?\\
''[cut to the perpetually optimistic Mr. Colasanto, who's breaking down and sobbing as he hugs his wife as they are hauled away]''
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E9ColdBlood "Cold Blood"]]: Silurian military commander Restac, a GeneralRipper consumed by her FantasticRacism against humans, has red, white and black epaulettes like the old German flags, and also sports a nasty [[GoodScarsEvilScars facial scar]] reminiscent of Nazi commando leader Otto Skorzeny.

* ''Series/DoctorWho'' has several examples, mostly from the Classic Series, when many of its staff members had living memories of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII:

** The [[Recap/DoctorWhoS1E2TheDaleks very first Dalek serial]] includes Daleks doing Nazi salutes ([[SpecialEffectFailure with their plungers]]) while talking about how they are superior beings. It all goes downhill from there.
** In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS2E2TheDalekInvasionOfEarth "The Dalek Invasion of Earth"]], the Daleks refer to the genocide of all Earth life with the extremely loaded term of a "FinalSolution".
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS7E4Inferno "Inferno"]] is set in a parallel universe where its implied the UK was taken over by the British Union of Fascists (exemplified by a poster of an Oswald Mosley lookalike) in the mid-20th century, and is now the [[PeoplesRepublicOfTyranny "Republic of Great Britain"]]. Instead of UNIT, it's the "Republican Security Force", with UNIT's beige uniforms being replaced with brownshirts and jackboots. Even the ranks are English translations of Nazi Party ranks.
