Many cultures have decades of pop-culture anti-nazi media. What are some of your favorite video games, movies, music, tv shows, books, and other media that are anti-nazi?

    Call me basic, but Captain America has been beating up Nazis for a long time.

    Not explicitly Nazi, but good enough. There was an episode of Sliders where there’s a world where those with immigrant blood or who don’t fit a certain type of white if I remember correctly get taken away to prison camps essentially. The twist is that they are essentially turned into slaves through some surgery. Also, apparently there was no Hitler on that parallel Earth. A single person (can’t remember if he was alone or with a group/party) was responsible for it all to be allowed.

    The idea of those deemed impure/undesirable in society being medically turned into slaves probably sounded like nothing but sci-fi back then but now under the current US president, it doesn’t sound too far fetched (aside from what they were turned into of course).

    The Babylon 5 subplot about president Clarke and his regime comes to mind. The scene with the woman of the Ministry of Truth visits Babylon 5 and claims to have sollved problems by rewriting the dictionary does rhyme with certain events in my country.

    Probably not what you had in mind, but Eat the Reich is a ttrpg in which you, a vampire commando, infiltrate occupied Paris to drink all of Adolf Hitler’s blood.

    Jojo Rabbit. Telling a story from the perspective of a child who has only known propaganda for his whole life makes the film an important reminder of how this all happened, how real human beings can end up going along with horrible things.

    Not sure if this counts, but:

    The TV series The Man in the High Castle depicts an alt-universe where the nazi won WW2 (and obviously nazis are the antagonists). It isn’t historically plausiable (just like most works of fiction), but it is interesting to see just how fucked up that world looks like.

    Hard to beat the Wolfenstein games and the Indiana Jones movies.

    I’m an Australian, but I have watched ‘don’t be a sucker’ so many times.

    Such solid GOOD propaganda. Easy to find for those who have not seen it

    I wanna say The Producers. So many works trying to demonise Nazis falls into the trap that demons are kinda cool, but Springtime for Hitler is so ridiculous that no matter how pro-Nazi the lyrics are, you can only laugh at them. And watching Hitler throw it back is just peak theatre.

    Downfall.

    Anti-Nazi is not supposed to be funny, not in today’s politics. Seeing Nazism for what it is and how Nazis saw themselves is best IMO.

    Not exactly Nazis (in a strict aesthetic point of view; ideologically no different), but I’ve been having fun seeking out Klansmen in RDR2 and disrupting their gatherings.

      That was one thing I always did too! Been thinking about replaying that one. The violence in that game was a bit hard for me to deal with in a lot of cases, but I never had any personal conflicts deciding how to deal with klansmen.

      • I don’t like Micah or Strauss, personally. Most of the other fights you have in the game are against racists, rapists or criminal underlords. But those two have missions where you’re killing or beating up regular townspeople because Micah is a psychopath and Strauss is a heartless loan shark. I’ve yet to finish the story mode, but I’ve been wanting to put a bullet in Micah since I had to break him out of jail in Strawberry. Already kicked Strauss out of camp and that felt really good.

          I seriously sat there in Strawberry thinking “I can’t believe I’m breaking this guy out. I’d rather just let him die.” I think I restarted that mission several times looking for an alternate story.
