Nazi zombies
Nazi zombies are a horror trope found in films, video games, and comic books. Nazi zombie narratives usually feature undead Nazi soldiers resurrected to fight for the Third Reich. The book Nazisploitation!: The Nazi Image in Low-Brow Cinema and Culture described the theme as a small subgenre of horror films.[1]
The first Nazi zombie-themed films King of the Zombies and Revenge of the Zombies were produced during World War II.[2] Nazisploitation began to appear concurrently in other film subgenres.[3] These include a trend of films in the 1970s and 1980s such as Shock Waves, Night of the Zombies, Zombie Lake and Oasis of the Zombies.[3][4] The increased popularity of the zombie film genre in the 2000s increased interest in the Nazi zombie subgenre, with films such as Horrors of War, Dead Snow, and Frankenstein's Army.[5] More modern films such as Overlord continue the Nazi zombie film genre.[6]
Nazi Zombies have appeared outside of film as well, featuring in video games such as the Wolfenstein series, Call of Duty series, the Sniper Elite series,[7] and South Park.[8]
