*** In ''Archer Dereamland'', set in 1940's Los Angeles, Krieger was a scientist who worked for the nazis... [[spoiler:in order to sabotage the war effort by wasting precious resources on his robotics program, and he was actually Jewish and working under a stolen identity]]

* ''Series/MissMarple'': Exploited in the (heavily changed) adaptation of "At Bertram's Hotel". Two characters have obvious German accents and act like this, but it turns out both are Jewish concentration camp survivors [[ExploitedTrope playing up this stereotype]] to draw out the actual Nazi war criminal hiding at the hotel [[spoiler: who is disguised as the bumbling old British priest Canon Pennyfather, not falling into the stereotype at all until he goes on a tirade in GratuitousGerman [[VillainousBreakdown once exposed.]]]]

* ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'': In ''Asterix and the Goths'', the Goths are depicted as villains. They kidnap Getafix and bring him to Germania. When they are kept waiting at the border, their chieftain starts swearing, one of the swear words being a swastika. In later Asterix albums, the Goths are depicted in a more sympathetic light, as artist Albert Uderzo regretted depicting them as being evil. He apologized to his readers and explained that ''Asterix and The Goths'' was made a mere 20 years after the end of World War Two. Even in ''Asterix and the Goths'', the Goths wear helmets that look like picklehaubs, deliberately to suggest the ''First'' World War rather than the Second.

The ideology of National socialism doesn't begin or end with the person of Adolf Hitler, as much as this simplistic idea holds sway over modern pop culture. Also Look Whos Back ends with Hitler starting a new political career in modern-day Germany, making rather the opposite point of the one implied here.


Should be noted that Modern Germany is actually ''nothing'' like Nazi Germany however, as the country is basically now a prosperous social democratic country, filled with many ethnic minorities from across the world leaving the country not as homogenous as it once was, as well as a significant left wing voice in parliament. They are very conscious of the horrible past under the Nazis and are one of the few countries to outright ban denial of The Holocaust; [[Film/LookWhosBack It goes without saying that if Adolf Hitler was still alive, he'd no doubt]] [[ImproperlyParanoid be horrified by it]].
