What happens when Those Wacky Nazis is too good a stereotype to be confined to period settings. Even though World War II is long past, the ugly shadow of Nazism endures, and inevitably colors perceptions of the German people. So, in many post-1945 settings (and Fantasy Counterpart Cultures), German characters will display gratuitous Nazi traits like goose-stepping or greeting their leader with a Roman salute, sometimes when they otherwise have nothing to do with Nazi Germany. Note that much of this is actually banned in Real Life modern Germany.
Can even apply in WWII-based works — a significant minority within the army's officer corps opposed Hitler throughout the war, with planned putsches in 1938 and 39, as well as the infamous 20th July 1944, while also playing a role in various resistance cells (it has been estimated that over 50% of the resistance was military). Given that the Army had had quite a difficult relationship with Hitler pre-1938, a lot of people going into 'inner exile' (seeking a place in society reasonably free from any interaction with Nazi ideology) had also wound up in the service. The record in the war was quite checkered, however, due to an overlap in what was acceptable and desirable for conservative German nationalists (like most of the officer corps) and the Nazis, especially as it pertained to actions against partisans (which the old establishment hated with a passion), scorched earth tactics in the East, and discipline within the Wehrmacht (20,000+ German servicemen were executed during the war).
The Luftwaffe, having been newly created under the Nazis and led by Hermann Göring, was the most National Socialist arm in the armed forces, with Luftwaffe personnel being notorious for their sympathies for National Socialism. The Navy, on the other hand never really approved of National Socialism note leading to the famous remark by Hitler of Germany having a 'National Socialist airforce, an Imperial army, and a communist navy' and the Army's intelligence service (the Abwehr) was quite deliberately obstructive to the Schutzstaffel's (SS's) intelligence service (the Sicherheitsdienst or SD) not just out of Interservice Rivalry but also because it didn't approve of all the genocides. Even some civilians spoke out against the Nazis, though all of them were in concentration camps by the mid-1930s. The first people sent to them were not Jews, but all political opponents of the Nazis, starting with the Communists.
Even if the Just Following Orders excuse might not excuse people of the violence they committed whilst working for the Nazis, that does not mean that those people were Nazis and agreed with their entire political agenda. The costs of opposing or even just refusing to support them were very high, not just because you could be killed on the spot (in 1944-45), but also because you could be imprisoned or fired or passed-over for promotion (1933-45). One must also remember the handful of heroic figures like Oskar Schindler (whose career was famously depicted in Schindler's List), Gert Fröbe (better known for his post-war acting career in movies like Goldfinger and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang), and Karl Plagge, who all belonged to the Nazi Party and publicly supported it while secretly working against it. There is also the bizarre case of John Rabe and the Nanjing Nazis under his leadership, who saved tens of thousands of Chinese people during the Nanjing Massacre in the name of Hitler and the Nazi Party. Rabe had no authority from Hitler to do this. He was acting on his own initiative, from his correct belief that this was expected of a decent person, and his incorrect belief that Hitler was the decent sort of person who would expect this (he later found out how wrong his view had been after being arrested by the Gestapo for talking to the German police about Japanese atrocities in China).
Finally, one should note also the saying that "not all Germans were Nazis, but most Nazis were Germans": the Schutzstaffel (SS) recruited and conscripted many non-Germans to serve on and behind the front lines, respectively (only the volunteers were trusted with weapons). While not even 300k non-Germans fought for Nazi Germany as combat-troops (versus 4m or so Germans), several hundreds of thousands did things like wash horses and drive wagons and carry sacks about for them.
Also, stereotypically German characters are more likely to be Nazis. Especially beware if they start speaking Gratuitous German.
It is especially prevalent in Eastern Europe, since the last time German soldiers did pay the place a visit, they tried to kill off a quarter of them (under the Hungerplan) as the prelude to replacing them all with Germans (Generalplan Ost and various other schemes) — and very nearly fulfilled the former goal (35+m killed of a target of 40+). In fact, one may even find that what a native of Eastern Europe would sooner find questionable is a deliberate aversion or inversion — the notion that Germans weren't inherently Nazis could be (and has been) taken as an attempt to shift the blame, whether onto non-German allies, or even (on the logic that Germans were themselves victims) the Nazis themselves. As if the basic trope wasn't bad enough.
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 as the Nazis and are one of the few countries to outright ban holocaust denial. If Adolf Hitler was still alive he'd probably be horrified by it.
See also Nazi Nobleman for a trope caused partly by this one, or Godwin's Law, when someone is deemed a Nazi regardless of being German or not, or Music to Invade Poland to, when music that is from or is influenced by Germany is accused of being Nazist, as well as Argentina Is Nazi-Land, for references to another once-fascist country. See Oktoberfest for another common stereotype of Germans.

Penny Dreadful: City of Angels: Most of the German-American or German characters are Nazis/Nazi supporters. Peter's the only (initial) exception; though heading the LA chapter of the pro-Nazi German-American Bund he seems to be a pacifist and at least somewhat opposes anti-Semitism. However, by the end of the first season he seems to have embraced Nazism under Elsa's corrupting influence.

In K, the Weismann twins were military scientists in Dresden during the war, working with a Japanese magic user to decipher and utilize the Slates, a magical stone discovered in the wall of a church (which that Japanese soldier takes back to Japan, where it gives the cast their powers in the present day). Subverted in that one of the twins — the one who would become the immortal Silver King, the Big Good and main character — was horrified at the idea of the Slates being used for war, and wouldn't have supported their policies, but wouldn't have had a choice about working for them. But his sister tells him to remember who's paying for their research — the shot in the flashback in episode 9 when she grabs him shows that they're in this whether he likes it or not, and he probably doesn't.

Played with in Hellboy, where pretty much every German character who appears turns out to have something to do with the Nazis (usually because they either are Nazis with some kind of Eternal Life, or related to them), but averted in the spin-off B.P.R.D. series, where modern Germans are universally just regular folks, and one of the main characters is the heroic (though occasionally absent-minded) ghost-in-a-bag Johann Kraus.

King Arthur (2004) seemed to be going for this rather blatantly with the Saxon invaders of Britain, who are proto-Germans at best. King Cerdic stops one of his soldiers from raping a local woman because he argues the mixed offspring would pollute the purity of the Saxon warrior's blood, before killing both the soldier and the woman to set an example. Historically, the Saxons and Celtic-Roman Britons actually interbred quite a bit, and Cerdic himself may have been the product of such a union.

The Simpsons:
The show assumes this at times too, and even makes it appear as if Germans are evil by nature. In a Halloween episode, "Treehouse of Horror XVII", Homer is turned into a giant insatiable blob and starts eating people. He eats some (clearly 40-something, American) Germans at a German festival (Oktoberfest):
In another episode, Homer and Marge go to an Oktoberfest celebration together, and Homer remarks after drinking some good beer, "Ah, the Germans...you just can't stay mad at 'em."
Yet another episode cleverly plays with this trope via Abe Simpson's usual hilariously outdated word view.
Inverted in the Cape Feare episode when Sideshow Bob is questioned by the parole board about the tattoo on his chest.
In "Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk" German industrialists buy Mr. Burns' nuclear power plant. At first the workers are suspicious, but they change their mind. Lenny even says: "Sure, they made mistakes in the past, but that is why pencils have erasers." Finally the Germans deem the power plant to be unsafe and sell it back to Mr. Burns, who demands a large sum. They reluctantly give in to his offer, but warn him with a sinister stare that "We Germans aren't all smile and sunshine", as threatening music starts playing.
In "Bart's Inner Child" there is a joke that the Germans started a "Do As We Say Festival", after 1946.
In "Lady Bouvier's Lover" Mr. Burns' single relative is an old aggressive German officer wearing a pickelhaube.
In "Itchy and Scratchy Land" the guards have a German accent.
In "You Only Move Twice" the Bond villain Hank Scorpio is said to like German beer.
Lisa the "Clobber Girl" defeats a German zeppelin in the second segment of "Treehouse of Horror X".
Parodied in "Treehouse of Horror XI", where Billy the Kid introduces his zombie posse, finishing with "the most evil German of all time"... Kaiser Wilhelm. This is something of a Genius Bonus - after all, Hitler was Austrian.
A memorable gag from the episode "Simpson Tide" had Grampa recount a time where he and several fellow marines assaulted John F. Kennedy after "discovering his terrible secret":

Fringe:
The episode "The Bishop Revival" featured a stereotypical German guy that (you would never guess!) was a Nazi. Granted, the end of the episode implied that he wasn't a present German.
The trope is averted elsewhere in the series, as Walter's father (né Bischoff) was a German scientist who despised Hitler and defected to the Allies during World War II.

Spoofed in The Big Lebowski, where the evil German Nihilists have many aspects of Those Wacky Nazis, but as the Dude points out, aren't Nazis. This prompts Walter's famous line "Say what you will about the tenets of National Socialism, but at least it's an ethos."

Subverted in F is for Family with Mr. Holtenwasser, a friendly old German man who the kids think is a Nazi. He's actually a Jewish Holocaust survivor who served time in Auschwitz (evidenced by the number tattooed on his arm). As the series progresses, the kids become less afraid of him once they learn more about his dark past. Kevin notices a Star of David necklace but being the ditzy teenager he is, he assumes it's a pentagram and assumes he a Satanist. In the second season he does show sympathy after Holtenwasser mentions hiding from Nazis in basements so it's evident he understands him more than before. (Possibly because there was a small arc where he tries harder to study history so he doesn't flunk out of school.) Maureen also brought him as a "show and tell" for her Girl Scout troop meeting where he ended up making the girls cry telling his Holocaust experiences.

Babylon Berlin neatly averts this, seeing how it starts out in 1929 Weimar Germany (four years before the Nazis' seized control), so the German Communists and conservative nationalists (in this case, the proto-fascistic Monarchists of the 'Black Reichswehr') are featured much more prominently. In fact, it makes it almost shocking when the Nazi movement does suddenly rear its head at the end of the second season when they murder Chief of Political Police Dr. Benda, who is Jewish, while disguised as said Communists. Back then, the Nazis were a small fringe group no one imagined could take power. Only after the Depression hit did they grow popular (even then, they took power as part of a coalition at first, then grabbed it all when the pretext of the Reichstag Fire occurred).

Not Always Right occasionally has stories of people being accused of Nazism because something about them is vaguely German.
The woman in this story assumes that a coworker with a German last name must be a Nazi. The coworker is nationally Polish, and ethnically Ashkenazi Jewish. At least she apologized...
A girl in the Friendly section yells at the story's submitter for saying "Nazi shit" to her... which was responding with "Gesundheit" when someone sneezed. Further evidence for the submitter's Nazi-dom include having a German last name (his ancestors were dissidents who fled the Nazis) and listening to modern German heavy metal bands.
This story is about a nurse who volunteers at a Holocaust survivor centre shortly after the war. She grew up in Chicago, but has a German background and a slight accent. The other nurses make comments about this, but are completely bewildered to discover the patients don't feel that way at all — after all, they're German, and are delighted that somebody at the centre speaks their language.

Inglourious Basterds: Subverted. The Basterds insist that all German soldiers are Nazis and carve Swastikas in the foreheads of the survivors. In spite of this, many of the Germans they encounter are just regular soldiers with families and loyalty to their comrades. The Basterds do, however, recognize the capacity for some Germans to be allies. They have recruited at least one former soldier and work with a woman from the German resistance.

Klaus from American Dad! invokes this trope somewhat, claiming to be incredibly sadistic due to being German.
Subverted in "The Most Adequate Christmas Ever" when he gets horrified looks after mentioning that his grandfather was a conductor at Auschwitz.
Also, when visiting a site of the D-Day landings, Klaus and Roger comment on the brave young men fighting for their country. Except Klaus is talking about Germans, and Roger about Americans.
At one point Klaus claims that the Germans have several common phrases, and most involve genocide.
When Francine is labeling things in the house to help Steve study spelling, she labels Klaus with "Anti-Semite".
In one episode Klaus asked what people think of when they hear Germany.
Also, in "Holy Shit, Jeff's Back!", after Klaus disguised himself as Snot's hamster, Snot mentioned his return from Jewish camp, to which Klaus is surprised that he is coming back from Jewish camp.
For reference, Klaus was an East German skier whose mind was swapped with a goldfish in order to prevent "the Reds" from winning the 1986 Winter Olympics.

Yahoo Movies makes this generalization about the boarding school in the film version of The Confusions of Young Törless. Despite the novel being set in the 19th century. Beineberg and Reiting are vicious bullies in Prussian-looking school uniforms who spout some Fascist-sounding rhetoric, and they are Austrian, but the First World War hasn't even happened yet, let alone the second. The director makes some obvious choices to play up the Nazi parallels in the story's conflict, but the school is not a Nazi boarding school.

Subverted in Dragon Ball Z Abridged with Goz and Mez (who are a parody of Hanz and Franz). Episode 29 has Goz tell Mez to "prepare ze camps" when the Ginyu Force is knocked down into Hell, but it would be revealed a decade later in episode 4 of HFIL that he was't referring to a concentration camp, but rather an actual campsite used for rehabilitating villains (which would eventually become the cul-de-sac that the latter series takes place in).

Wiseguy. When Vinnie first comes across Mel Profitt's international arms dealing syndicate, the FBI doesn't know what they're dealing with at first and they have difficulty taking the investigation as seriously as they would the Mafia. Frank Pike indicates a vaguely Teutonic individual that Vinnie encountered and (tongue-in-cheek) suggests they might be a Nazi organisation, the US President having publicly expressed his concern about Neo-Nazi groups. He's annoyed when his superiors take this comment on face value.

Archer:
Subverted in the episode "Skytanic". The German executive officer, complete with an eyepatch and a scar on his cheek is automatically assumed to be a Nazi and the bomber when an actual bomb is discovered. This all turns out to be wrong. Also, he lost his eye while rescuing a Jewish girl from a gang of skinheads, and is the only one on board who knows how to disarm the bomb.
Played straight with Dr. Krieger, the mad scientist in charge of ISIS research who often performs horrific, Dr. Mengele-style experiments on people without their consent. His father was a Nazi scientist who fled to Brazil and Krieger himself is implied to be a clone of Adolf Hitler, though he actually refutes the clone idea and calls Malory out for believing it by pointing out he looks nothing like Hitler.

This is discussed in Band of Brothers. The soldiers are frustrated that, as they close in on Germany, every German claims they're not a Nazi. This feeling comes to a head in episode 9 when they find a concentration camp just outside a German town and the residents say they didn't know about it. As Webb puts it, "Are you going to tell me that you never smelled the fucking stench?!" In the final episode Easy Company occupies Berchtesgaden, where they say they can finally call everyone in the town a Nazi. note For the info, you had to be a full blown member of the Nazi Party to be allowed to live in Berchtesgaden. However, towards the tend, most of them realize the Germans were just regular people fighting for their country, just like they were. Shifty Powers even mentions that they might have been friends with some of them if it weren't for the war.

Referenced and mocked in Far Cry 3 with Sam, one of the higher ranked members of Hoyt's Privateers. Actually a double agent, they readily accepted his cover story believing that, as a German, he was therefore as evil and ruthless as the Nazis. He even mentions he was promoted purely because of his accent. Perhaps most amusingly, he's not even actually German - while he he was raised there, his parents were Americans and he himself was born in Texas.

A major theme in Frieda (and a timely one for when the film was released in 1947) is to what extent this true. Frieda's brother Richard is a die-hard Nazi who believes that all Germans are one and that the Reich will rise again. Frieda admits that she, and all Germans like her who knew what horrors what were going on and did nothing to stand against them, must shoulder some of the responsibility.

Schindler's List: Subverted. Oskar Schindler was in fact a member of the National Socialist German Workers Party — but he, like so many other Germans, was in it for the political and economic advantages. By the end of the film, to call him a Nazi note He technically is still a member but in practice he's doing his best to stop their plans is to both be blind and a pedant of the first order.

Largely averted in Hogan's Heroes, despite its setting (a POW camp in Nazi Germany in the middle of World War II). Only one of the recurring German characters belongs to the Nazi party and the anti-Nazi resistance movement among German civilians is frequently featured. Hauptfeldwebel Schultz mentions that he was a card-carrying member of the Social Democratic Party until the day his party was banned by the Nazis, and has nothing but contempt for Nazi ideology.

In the Law & Order episode "Evil Breeds", Briscoe and Green suspect an elderly German of murdering the victim of the week, who had survived a concentration camp, because she identified him as a guard and he was now threatened with deportation. As they investigate his apartment, the man's son accuses them of assuming this trope — "Not every German was a Nazi!" ("Yeah, they were Just Following Orders," Briscoe replies.) Bit of Reality Subtext here: Briscoe, like Jerry Orbach, is German Jewish on his father's side (Polish Catholic on his mother's), and is of a generation where this kind of bitterness would be realistic.

A French Village: Averted. In fact, the Communists initially go out of their way to distinguish Nazis from ordinary, working class German soldiers whom they insist must not be lumped together. Even when the Communists begin resistance, they insist upon targeting only officers because of this view, and one shouts out "Long live the German Communist Party!" when he's shot, acknowledging this symbolically. Most German characters don't express Nazi views, even Müller, who's in the SD (the SS's intelligence service) so presumably a Nazi. Even their antisemitic operations are also engaged in by French people.

Judgment at Nuremberg:
Aside from the Jews, naturally, the film implies that most German people who weren't Nazis themselves at least went along with them. The defendants and others try to claim differently, most of them unconvincingly; however, a couple notable exceptions are presented in Rudolph Peterson (a man from a Communist family who is likely mentally disabled and was forcibly sterilized—he says for their political beliefs) and Irene Hoffmann-Wallner (whose Jewish friend was accused of "racial defilement" as a result of supposedly having sex with her—she'd then been imprisoned for perjury after testifying that he'd done no such thing) as victims of defendants. Irene's husband is also portrayed as sympathetic towards her desire to testify, although worried that it will bring about repercussions against them. Also a German judge and a lawyer who testify against Janning and the Nazi legal system; the judge even having resigned before being forced to sentence people in the name of the Third Reich.
Despite repeatedly making it clear that he holds all Germans responsible for the actions of the Third Reich, Lawson actually defies this trope when cross-examining a defense witness summoned by Rolfe. He points out that she was a member of the Nazi Party, and that while it was expected for all German citizens to support the party, there was no legal requirement for them to actually join it.

A fantasy equivalent occurs in The Elder Scrolls series with the Thalmor, A Nazi by Any Other Name racist and religious extremist sect which rose to the top of the Altmeri (High Elven) government following the Oblivion Crisis and reestablished the Aldmeri Dominion of old. This is only true in that the Thalmor have a tendency to make dissident Altmer disappear, and refugee Altmer are usually quick to point out that they hate the Thalmor as much as you do. In Skyrim, the famous line "the first country the Thalmor took over was their own" (or a variation) appears both in dialogue and in in-game books detailing the events of the Thalmor takeover.

World on Fire: Though people often use "German" and "Nazi" interchangeably, the series itself has many German characters who aren't Nazis.
For instance, most prominently is the Rossler family (technically Mr. Rossler is a Party member, but only to protect them with the influence it brings) who oppose the Nazis' (at least in part because their daughter has epilepsy and is at risk for involuntary "euthanasia", but they're revealed to have made a number of dissident comments later).
Sieber, a German officer in the occupation of Paris, is also sympathetic. He shows veiled dislike of the Nazi policy on jazz music, and helps Webster when Albert is detained (it's also indicated Sieber knows they're gay, but doesn't share the Nazis' vicious anti-LGBT views).
Gertha is a member of the League of German Girls (the female wing of the Hitler Youth), but is horrified when the SS's Lebensborn program recruits her friend Marga to have a "pure Aryan" child (both are only sixteen, as she protests). Their teacher Herr Turtz also opposes this, saying that it would be the Reich raping Marga. Both are arrested for speaking against this by the Gestapo.

Averted in Return to Castle Wolfenstein, after having been played straight in previous incarnations. While the rest of the games are primarily about killing Nazis, the 2001 game finally shows you another side. You do kill tons of Nazis in the game, but most of your allies are German resistance fighters. In The New Order, one of the resistance fighters is a German ex-Nazi mook who joined the good guys after the Nazis killed his son for being born with a club foot. He still has Nazi tattoos all over him, but he plans to get them removed after the Nazis are brought down. Played for Drama too, since when BJ sees the guy, he jumps on him in seething rage and everyone has to drag him away before he smashes the guy's head in, which, considering the things BJ went through, is at least a relatable misunderstanding.

On Get Smart, KAOS high-up Siegfried went very heavy on the movie-Nazi shtick, especially when running a WWII-era prison camp for captured CONTROL agents (named "Camp Gitchee-Goomee-Noonee-Wawa"). Inexplicably, he's revealed to have grown up in Florida. Siegfried's left-hand stooge Shtarker (sic) claims to have been the track champion of the Third Reich (although he seems terribly young for that), and the second man out of El Alamein (right behind Siegfried.)

Bob Lee Swagger: Averted, while many of Hunter's WWII German characters are happy participants in the holocaust, Sniper's Honor features various soldiers just trying to survive the war while retaining some honor, and a general who turns out to have been part of the July 20th plot.

Averted in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Nate meets Karl Schafer, an elderly German treasure hunter living in a Tibetan village. Schafer was hired by a Nazi expedition to Shambhala, but he's not a Nazi himself. In fact, he killed the Nazis he was supposed to be guiding to prevent them from accessing the power of Shambhala's Cintamani Stone. If anything, the real European villain of Uncharted 2 is Big Bad Zoran Lazarevic, who's from Serbia, and actually considers Hitler a "great man".

Joked about at the time of German reunification:
This trope was implied in a later 1990s SNL sketch, called "Deutsches Jeopardy". Although the term "Nazi" is never directly used, in this sketch, a parody of Jeopardy!, the German-accented host reads off the answers to which the contestants must ask the appropriate questions. For each wrong question a contestant asks, a beautiful young woman is given an electric shock, to which the host responds with obvious glee, with remarks like "Exquisite!"

In the infamous Fawlty Towers episode "The Germans", some Germans are visiting Basil Fawlty's hotel. He tells everyone "Don't mention the war". However Basil (who, for a change, is actually concussed rather than simply rude) manages to make reference to the war in almost every sentence he subsequently speaks to them. It's subverted here: the Germans are never cast as Nazis (and find the constant references upsetting to the point Basil's actions reduce one of them to tears), but are just trying to enjoy their holidays in peace.

Jojo Rabbit plays with this all over the place. Jojo himself is a member of the Hitler Youth and has been warped by the Nazi Party's propaganda, but lacks the will to actually commit the atrocities expected of him. As Elsa puts it, Jojo is really just "a 10-year-old kid who likes dressing up in a funny uniform and wants to be part of a club." Captain Klenzendorf is a ranking member of the Third Reich army, but it's clear he's become disillusioned by the leadership's racial politics and is more interested in preparing the town for the inevitable invasion by the Allies than persecuting minorities. He even covers for Elsa for the Gestapo when he could have easily arrested her for being a Jew. And as it turns out, both of Jojo's parents are active members of the German resistance.

The Doctor Who Eighth Doctor Adventures feature a character called Fitz Kreiner, who, being half-German on his Extreme Doormat father's side, had an especially shitty childhood even by the standards of the era he grew up in. In what may be an example which tries to disprove the rule, he's forced to impersonate a Nazi at one point and it's an especially bad day for him in a lifetime of mostly bad days. There's also one book, The Year of Intelligent Tigers, which takes place on a future Earth colony whose dominant culture is a mixture of German and Middle Eastern. It's a nice place... [[spoiler:if you ignore the oppressed tigers. Also, the surprisingly frightening One-Shot Character, because a mass-murdering German/Iranian bloke is certainly not potentially offensive at all.

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.

General Blue, one of the high ranking officers of the Red Ribbon Army in Dragon Ball, is not only given the appearance of a SA officer, blond hair, blue eyes, superhuman capabilities, and psychic powers, but he even went as far as to say "Auf Wiedersehen" at one point in the manga, a phrase that is German for "goodbye." Of course, considering how the FUNimation dub apparently gave him a British accent, it seems less obvious there.

In Night in the Woods, Gregg occasionally wears a pickelhaube helmet, which he eventually reveals belonged to his great-great-grandfather, a German soldier. Mae assumes he was one of the "fascists", leading Gregg to irritably point out that he was a World War I soldier, even declaring that Germany back then was "not the bad guy".

The Monster Squad attempts to subvert this, but it actually comes across fairly straight. The neighborhood kids are all afraid of the "Scary German Guy" and suspect that he's a Nazi. It turns out that he's a kindly Jewish Holocaust survivor. So... all Germans are Nazis except the Jewish ones.

Heinrich von Marzipan from Codename: Kids Next Door is an obvious Nazi allegory, counterpart to Numbuh 5's Indiana Jones (he is a parody of Jones' rival Rene Belloq, a Frenchman in cahoots with the Nazis). Then things got weird. There's also the principal and vice principal of the school.

Where Hands Touch: Thoroughly averted. Leyna's mother Kerstin, unsurprisingly, totally opposes Nazi ideology given that her child is persecuted for having a Black father, and she for the relationship. Even members of the Hitler Youth like Lutz turn out to be a bit inconsistent about it (membership was mandatory, so not everyone there were true believers). Leyna's uncle has contacts with German communists, and helps to get false papers for her. To fit in, Leyna disclaims her African heritage and embraces the Nazi ideology, but naturally it doesn't work out for her, because she's not an "Aryan".

Discussed in Enemy at the Door, set in German-occupied territory during World War II. The locals tend to assume so, leading to German characters sometimes having to explain (with varying degrees of annoyance) that it's not the case. The SS officer Reinicke is, as would be expected, but the episode "Call of the Dead" establishes explicitly that the other major recurring German characters (Oberst Richter, the garrison commander; Major Freidel, the governor; and Oberleutnant Kluge, the head of the Feldpolizei) aren't.

In The Saboteur, one of the missions Sean does is rescue a spy for the people fighting against the Nazis. It later turns out said spy is a full blooded German who is using his skills to help take down the Nazis. Sean invokes this trope by asking why he is fighting against his people, which the man replies that they are not his people, finding their actions despicable, and is tired of everyone stereotyping every German as so.

In Made in Canada, with the possible exception of Alan Roy, most people at Pyramid/Prodigy make snarky asides about the Germans and their innate aggression despite the fact that sales TO Germany are pretty much the only thing keeping the creditors at bay.

Family Guy:
In one episode, an international food festival has the booth for German Bratwurst right next to the booth for Polish Sausage. The German grabs a bratwurst and uses it to club the Pole over the head and take over his booth, then replaces the sign with one that says "German Sausage". Then he starts eyeing the Czech Wieners booth suspiciously.
When Stewie and Brian tour Munich:
And of course a later episode had the old man who befriended Chris turn out to be a Nazi. It counts as an example because Herbert the Pervert accused "Franz Gutentag" of being a Nazi, seemingly just to get Chris to stay away from him— and of course, he turns out to be right.

The German band Rammstein has been criticized as being fascist sympathizers for their dark and sometimes militaristic imagery. The cover for the album "Herzeleid" depicted the band members shirtless. Critics accused the band of selling themselves as "poster boys for the master race" and an alternate cover is used in North America. Apparently, being German and bare-chested automatically makes you a supremacist. The irony of course is, they're on the left side of the spectrum. Their song "Links-2-3-4" specifically was written to counter Nazi accusations.
There were also accusations over the video for "Stripped" using clips from Olympia, the notoriously Nazi Leni Riefenstahl's documentary on the 1936 Olympics.
A review of their album "Mutter" is the Trope Namer of the subtrope Music to Invade Poland to.
And because there's no 'All Russians East Germans Are Commies' trope, when they haven't been accused of being Nazis they've been accused of being communists, since they hail from the east side of the Berlin Wall. There's a bit of truth to that. A few members of the band have shown themselves as having a lot of Ostalgia.
