During World War II, ThoseWackyNazis created [[NaziZombies the Death Corps]], nigh-invincible troopers made from the dead German soldiers. After carrying out few missions, they disappeared into the sea at the end of the war. An undersea quake years later awakens them from their rest, and they go after shipwrecked holiday-goers who are stranded on an island nearby.
