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?

Porco Rosso is an excellent Ghibli film with anti-fascist themes.
Iron Sky is ridiculous and good for a laugh if you need a break from the real Nazis.
hogan’s heroes (no I don’t follow controversy that happened decades ago)
Y’all need to see the OG anti-nazi movie, Charlie Chaplin’s The Great Dictator, which he made in 1939.
A great movie called “Look who’s back” goes into the danger of letting Nazism flourish. In this world Hitler shoots himself at the end of ww2 and then magicaly wakes up in modern times. So he goes back to his old shenanigans and people think it’s satire.
Anyone mentioned “Allo allo!” already?
American History X ?
Propagandhi - The Only Good Fascist Is a Very Dead Fascist. Especially the line “You can wear my nuts on Your nazi chin”.
Many Italian songs, especially Modena City Ramblers
Wolfenstein, the orginal.
And Doom2
Now do you mean the actual original, or do you mean Wolfenstein 3D?
The Saboteur. A somewhat forgotten but excellent game from the PS3/X360 era, still available on Steam I think.
You play an Irishman in Paris punching nazis and blowing up their shit. The world is black & white and becomes colorful as you capture things.
The racing part sucks, but otherwise the concept and style was just a ton of fun. It had memorable and unique sights and sounds and was just overall a satisfying play.
Call me basic, but Captain America has been beating up Nazis for a long time.
I’m partial to Nazi Punks, Fuck Off, originally by the Dead Kennedys. Napalm Death does a great version, too, if you’re more into grindcore
This song is featured in the horror movie Green Room, which is also an excellent answer to this question.
Inglourious Basterds is pretty good
The opening scene is probably the best part of cinema I have ever seen. Hans Landa is exceptionally well played
I can’t say enough good things about the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare:
Mind blowing aspects:
-
It’s a true story.
-
Ian Fleming was there for it and used it as the inspiration for James Bond.
-
In the two real missions dramatized for the film, nobody got killed, but where’s the fun in that?
-
“you know how you get to Carnegie Hall?”
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.
Plus, getting to see Taika Watiti(sp?) play Hitler as an imaginary best friend is a real treat. This is a great movie, although it’s still a dark comedy and likes to remind you, suddenly at times, of the dark realities of that war.
