In TV Land, a doctor or scientist is roughly 75% likely to be German or Austrian, complete with thick accent and often an entitled legacy. Increase to 98% for Mad Scientists. We can probably thank Sigmund Freud, Albert Einstein and Wernher von Braun. Many top-notch Jewish scientists from Germany, Austria, and Poland fled Nazi persecution in the pre-war and early-war period. Many more War Criminals attempted to flee to western Germany in the final months of the war to avoid capture and trial (for the various amoral deeds they had done For Science! and for personal gain). This allowed the USA to threaten them with acceptance of eastern European extradition requests (for trial) and offer them free passage to and employment in US government projects (Operation Paperclip). These German-Jewish refugees and ex-Nazis were prominent in many scientific fields during this period, especially The Manhattan Project and US Space Programme. Several wartime theories and inventions designed to aid the war effort, for good or ill, eventually changed how people lived when they were mass-manufactured and sold to the public. This cemented the longstanding trope of foreign geniuses being boons to welcoming societies. It's worth noting that Central Europe was a scientific and economic powerhouse in the early 20th century, dominating the physics field. More than a few German scientists were "rehabilitated" by the US strategic rocket and space programs (and a handful by the Soviets), to the point of each side complaining "they have more Germans than we do!"note More specifically the US got nearly all the scientists who designed the rockets, while the Soviets got ahold of the actual rocket construction facilities For a slightly safer stereotype, consider using a Swede or Norwegian instead, with the same unintelligible theories and outrrageous akksent! In Russian classical literature set in the 18th and 19th centuries, there's a related trope of the other kind of doctor to be German as indeed was often the case during that period. See also All Psychology Is Freudian, which has caused every psychologist to be portrayed as Austrian, and Stupid Jetpack Hitler for when this crosses over with Those Wacky Nazis. If the Nazi scientist has Supernatural Aid, see Ghostapo. |

Count Duckula: Dr. Von Goosewing peppers his speak with Gratuitous German, especially when there's a good opportunity for some Who's on First? shenanigans. The show has people confuse "nein!" with "nine!" on more than one occasion.

BrainDead uses this trope for a one-off scene. The protagonist needs sedatives to deal with a zombie or two. He visits a bald, drooling, sadistic-looking taxidermist in a lab coat whose absurd accent is excused by Rule of Funny. The taxidermist claims not to be a doctor and that he fled the Latvian occupation, when "We were hunted like animals!" When he turns from his shelf, he snags his lab coat on something, and through the tear his Nazi armband is clearly visible. | |

Comes up as a sort of Discussed Trope in the Doctor Who Eighth Doctor Adventures novel Unnatural History. Fitz is annoyed by the Doctor pressuring him to have fun and mentally refers to him as Herr Doctor.

Planet of the Apes (1968) has a brief reference to a Dr. Otto Hasslein, implied to be one of the astrophysicists involved in the rocket launch program. In the third film in the series, Escape from the Planet of the Apes, we finally meet Dr. Hasslein, and although he looks too young to have been part of Operation Paperclip, his accent — as well as his behaviour — are more than a little Nazi-ish, and he gradually becomes the villain of the movie. | |

Terra Ignota: The German psychologist Adolf Richter Brill revolutionized justice, linguistics, and education, and developed the Brillist number set, an eight-digit string of numbers designed to quantify one's behavior and personality (think MBTI types if they used numbers and were actually reliable). The meaning of each digit is never actually mentioned, and understanding them requires years of study at the Adolf Riktor Brill Institute of Psychotaxonomic Science (and you have to learn German — Brill believed Language Equals Thought and that German was the only language precise enough to record and teach his work in), but the relatively few who have can Sherlock Scan someone by reading their body language and asking them to name a random color or whatever, and they're never shown to be wrong. | |

In a variation, Dr. Hans Zarkov of Flash Gordon is Polish. The original comic never really played up his accent, but every film and TV adaptation has given him a thick Polish accent (except the 2000s Sci-Fi Channel version, which made him American). Most kid viewers probably thought it was a German accent, because of the prevalence of this trope. | |

In Dracula, Professor Van Helsing is actually Dutch, but constantly peppers his English with German. (Yes, Bram Stoker did, in fact, do the research — German was a lingua franca in that area of Europe, and Dutch is a Germanic language closely related to German.) Also, German was the language of science in the 19th century — a (non-German) scientist tossing around German words would be like a musician casually using Italian words. | |

Mazinger Z: Even though it is not apparent, Big Bad and Mad Scientist Dr. Hell is German. As a bonus, he started out as a weapon researcher for the Nazis. It turns out he's only German in Gosaku Outa's continuity of Mazinger Z. In the main continuity created by Go Nagai, Dr. Hell is, in fact, Japanese. |

Dr. Erskine from Captain America: The First Avenger is a benevolent example, working for the Allies on their Super-Soldier project. His Evil Counterpart Dr. Zola fits the usual portrayal, as he works for the Nazis and then HYDRA, but he actually expresses some regret about what the Red Skull has him do. In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, he makes a point to correct this, he's actually Swiss.note Although parts of Switzerland are primarily inhabited by German speaking people.It's also shown that he is in fact genuinely evil, and gleefully tortured/experimented on American soldiers. | |

Present in one episode of The Ren & Stimpy Show where a bus crash leaves the pair in critical condition, forcing said doctor to operate with the remaining parts which leaves the asthma hound chihuaha and red cat sown together into one mismatched hybrid. Despite having traits common to a Morally Ambiguous Doctorate, it can be assumed that the doctor is simply doing his job to keep his patients alive, even if he has to resort to nonstandard, questionably extreme practices, such as urgently demanding his assistant knock Ren back into unconsciousness with a mallet when he regains consciousness in the midst of surgery. | |

Tintin: Tintin's recurring nemesis Dr. J. W. Müller (called Mull-Pasha in The Red Sea Sharks) started out as a good example. In his first appearance in The Black Island, he is a psychiatrist who uses his private clinic as a cover for his criminal activities. Two of the scientists from the (Nazi-occupation era) Tintin comic book The Shooting Star are "Nordic" scientists, the Swede Erik Björgenskjöld and the German Otto Schulze, but they say little or nothing, so you can't really tell their accents. Most of the members of the expedition however come from "Latin" countries — a Spaniard, a Portuguese and a Frenchman.note The Frenchman, Professor Cantonneau, is the only one who would make a return appearance, in The Seven Crystal Balls and Prisoners of the Sun. The leader of the expedition, Professor Phostle (Calys in the original French), who comes complete with Einstein Hair, is a French-speaking Belgian. They all have huge foreheads. The engineer Frank Wolff in the two Moon albums may not speak with a heavy accent, but was inspired by Klaus Fuchs (whose surname means "fox"). Flight 714 has Dr. Krollspell working for the Big Bad; he is very much implied to be an old Nazi scientist. |

Sasha Nein from Psychonauts, of German (or possibly Austrian) descent. He mainly stays in his lab, and performs psychic experiments that can sometimes scare the Whispering Rock campers. He's a pretty benign case, being unwilling to continue experiments if they threaten to harm the kids, and his Mad Scientist tendencies often take a backseat to the super-spy elements of his personality. | |

Area 51: Werner von Seeckt is a German physicist whom the US "recruited" as part of Operation Paperclip (he was in the SS, though not a true believer in Nazism). He claims to regret that. Later some other German scientists are introduced who were also recruited the same way, and share a Nazi past (but appear to have been more hardcore than him). | |

Shutter Island: Played with. Dr. Naehring is undeniably German (although played by a legendary Swede), but his accent is much lighter than required by the trope. Teddy Daniels (a WWII veteran who participated in the liberation of Dachau) starts to believe that Dr. Naehring is a fugitive Nazi continuing his horrible experiments in the U.S. This theory turns out to be just another part of Andrew's delusion. | |

MARZENA loves to play with this trope. We have narrator Anika From Bremen, which is really an anglicised version of Anika Von Bremen — although it's unclear whether she is a doctor or not, her description of all things biological and neurological goes so deep that she might as well be. And also bonus points for her seldom bilingual slips. Subverted with Dr. Yoan; he isn't really from Germany or Austria but from Switzerland, and his accent isn't particularly atrocious either. Averted with Private Thomas, he's neither German nor a Doctor, although his name might have been based on Dr. Thomas Starzl, the first doctor to successfully perform a liver transplantation. |

Dr. Elsa Schneider in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Though more strictly a historian, her knowledge of the Holy Grail's lore (and seduction of the Jones boys) is crucial to aiding the Nazis in discovering its location. In some respects, she also borrows from the related Mad Scientist trope because of her irrational obsession with possessing the grail, which leads to her untimely demise. During a Literal Cliffhanger, she hangs from Indy with one hand and uses the other to reach for the grail, which she had dropped moments earlier. Indy begs her to stop, but she keeps trying as she can almost grasp it. Indy loses his grip on her gloved hand and she falls to her death. | |

Hellsing has the obvious one; a Nazi scientist responsible for creating the FREAKS, as well as almost all of the other technology Millennium has. The real kicker is that as far as we're concerned, his real name is 'Herr Doktor'; he's never referred to as anything else in the main series. His nametag in the manga, however, with some difficulty, reads "Avondale Napyeer". Some have taken it as the Doctor's name. |

Rammstein keyboardist Flake sometimes invokes this in his stage costumes and he's occasionally referred to as "Doktor Flake". | |

In Captain America Comics #1 (1941), young Steve Rogers is given his super-soldier powers by the treatment Dr. Josef Reinstein. In 1981 a story by Roger Stern and John Byrne revealed that "Reinstein's" actual name was Abraham Erskine, but apparently without nullifying earlier stories that he had fled from Nazi Germany. (A Scottish name like "Erskine" would not be impossible for a German, as e. g. a number of Jacobite families settled in Germany since the beginning of the 18th century and stayed there). | |
