So why are World War II-era Germans so often depicted as shambling corpses? Well, this fantastical association between Nazis and zombies presumably flows forth from the Nazis' rather comprehensive FinalSolution policies in regards to racial and ideological enemies. There is also the ObviouslyEvil use of [[SkeletonMotif skull imagery]] on uniforms, and a history of occult societies in Germany that were supported by some members of the Nazi Party. If there's any faction in UsefulNotes/WorldWarII who are believable as undead monsters in fiction, it's the Nazis. Additionally, you have the historical association between Nazis and their horrific human experimentation.
