| Nazi Nobleman | comment |
The Nazi Nobleman is an arrogant aristocrat who has embraced Nazi ideology: might makes right, he would agree, and the strong should dominate the weak. As he is to his fellow Germans, Germany will be to the world. He disdains democracy and egalitarianism, and hates Communism with a passion; he might believe in Nazism sincerely, or might be using Hitler (who he might know personally) to preserve his family fortune. He could be a leading scientist, an industrial business employer, a sadistic jailer or even a genocidal colonialist, but is likeliest to be a Cultured Warrior — if you don't look too closely at how his troops behave. His uniform is immaculately starched and pressed, his last name begins with "Von", and a monocle is mandatory. He probably has a Dueling Scar, from his university days. As the page quote suggests, this is a very appealing trope, fusing two classic villain archetypes, the decadent nobleman and the genocidal fascist, thus also making a good example of Evil Colonialist in some cases. This was more complicated in real life. There really were Nazi noblemen of exactly this type, especially in the SS, which only accepted applicants who could prove their non-Jewish ancestry back to the 1700s (which aristocrats tended to find much easier, given that their livelihoods literally depended on having provable genealogies, and who historically would not have married Jews, partly for religious reasons but also because they would not have the right pedigree). The Wehrmacht also had a long aristocratic tradition; that tradition wasn't enough for them to act honorably, but it was enough to make Hitler nervous. He weakened the German military by giving the SS a parallel army, didn't trust the army until he had filled high command with possibly incompetent yes-men, and had a point in his mistrust: the most serious attempt on his life came from an Army aristocrat, whose fellow conspirators were also disproportionately aristocratic. See the analysis page for more information. There were Nazi noblemen, La Résistance noblemen, and various people in between; but the German nobility had irresponsibly flirted with race-supremacist (or race-and-class-supremacist) ideas for a long time, and was almost reflexively hostile to the Jews. This trope isn't for racism or anti-Semitism outside the 1920s-1940s, though; it should be limited to German aristocrats supporting the Nazi Party, or approximations of the same. Examples |

While neither a true Nazi nor a true nobleman, X-Men villain Mr. Sinister has seen his character increasingly take on the trappings of this trope due to Flanderization after a 2002 storyline made his character take a veer from "mysterious Mad Scientist with a fixation on Cyclops" to "immortal British Expy of Josef Mengele". | |

Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid features as its main villain a "Field Marshall von Kluck" (Carl Reiner), whose surname, in combination with his starched-and-pressed uniform and neatly shined boots, suggest a probable aristocratic background. He is also an enthusiastic Nazi, referring to the heroine's family as members of an "inferior race", and trying to destroy the Third Reich's enemies long after the war has ended. It may be worth mentioning that von Kluck was an actual German general in World War I, whose inability to coordinate with von Bülow's signaled the failure of the Schlieffen Plan and led to the extended trench warfare of that conflict. | |

Colonel Gustav Wendt of Babylon Berlin is an interwar example of this trope. A supremely arrogant, hyper-conservative Prussian aristocrat and military officer, he is working under wraps with the Nazis to sow political chaos and bring a right-wing government to power in Germany. Although the Nazis' views and goals broadly align with his own, he has a more traditionalist bent and he views the Nazis as merely useful pawns and thugs to be used for his grand design. | |

The Rocky Horror Picture Show invokes this trope in typical B-movie style (which is to say, reversed) where referring to Dr. Scott as Dr. Von Scott is enough to establish him as a Nazi (even though this is never actually said). He's presumably a former Nazi scientist, rather than a nobleman. The United States recruited such scientists in droves after the war in an effort to keep them from being recruited to the USSR instead. "Von" typically indicates nobility in Germany. As the intro and Comicbook section to this page indicates, science is a quite popular career choice for Nazi Noblemen in fiction, so it was probably both this trope and the evil scientist one. | |

Johann Schmidt in Captain America: The First Avenger. While it's hard to tell if he's actually a noble descendant and he actually renounces any ties to the Nazis, he deliberately invokes this Nazi Nobleman imagery anyway with his fancy suits, handsome rubber masks, and love of portraits of himself, not to mention Social Darwinism so strong he believes Psycho Serum Makes Right. | |

Of the Nazi characters from Dies Irae, two are confirmed to be of noble birth, Eleonore von Wittenburg and Beatrice Waltrud von Kirscheisen. Eleonore fit's into the archetype quite neatly, being a Fundamentalist Female Misogynist and is the most openly racist out all the characters. Beatrice meanwhile plays with it as while she is both of nobility and part of the Nazi party, she is the Foil to Eleonore by being an unfailingly good and kindhearted woman who is the Token Good Teammate of the Longinus Dreizehn Orden. How she became part of the Nazis is never elaborated upon but is implied to be due to her family and misplaced idealism. | |

Baron Rudolf von Strumgeist in Medal of Honor: Frontline is a Hauptsturmfuhrer, or the SS equivalent of a Captain. With his vast amount of wealth and influence in the Nazi Party, he uses this to help fund new Wunderwaffe projects for the Luftwaffe, namely the Horten Ho 229, a fast, heavily-armed jet fighter that outperforms the already deadly Me 262 already in service with the Luftwaffe. | |

The DCU: Baron Blitzkrieg, a Prussian nobleman and personal friend of Adolf Hitler, gained superpowers and became one of the Nazis' top super agents. Wonder Woman villain Baroness Paula Von Gunther. Eventually justified when it was revealed (possibly an early retcon) that she was working for the Nazis because her daughter was held captive by them. It's interestingly averted with her husband Gottfried, a Baron who almost immediately opposed the Nazis and got shot for it. Wonder Woman villain Rudolph Hessenpfeffer (the Gentleman Killer) was a Nazi spy and nobleman who wore a monocle and nearly killed Steve Trevor. |

The Crown deals directly with the Nazi associations of several of the Royal Family's relations. The most shocking (in-universe at least) is the revelation of the Nazi sympathies of the Duke of Windsor (i.e. the former Edward VIII), but references to Prince Philip's heavily Nazi family (several of his sisters married high-ranking German nobles who joined the Nazi apparatus) are also common. | |

In Sahara (1943), we get Luftwaffe pilot Captain von Schletow, who is every bit the dedicated, arrogant Nazi, up to and including flying into a rage and assaulting the Italian soldier who talks smack about Hitler. He is also startlingly racist, refusing to let a black soldier search him when he's captured. These elements of von Schletow's character are downplayed somewhat in the 1995 remake. There, the character of Major von Falken (who was also in the original film) is a fervent Nazi supporter, even shooting his own men for weakness. |

Subverted in Von Ryan's Express. German prison train commander Major von Klement isn't actually a nobleman. As is discovered by the main character, the "von" in his name is self-given. | |

The film Enemy at the Gates depicts a ruthless Bavarian aristocrat sniper by the name of Erwin König; in real life it is not clear that König even actually existed, though the film is supposedly based on a true story. Supposedly. Though in König's case it wasn't so much Nazi ideology as it was his wish to avenge his son's death, his son having been killed in the earliest days of the battle. However, the Soviets invoke the trope because their guy is a poor peasant who learned shooting hunting goats for food. The German guy learnt sniping on his family estate. They turn the sniper duel into class warfare. | |

Biggles' arch-nemesis Erich von Stalhein, both during and after the war. Although, really, his attitude is closer to My Country, Right or Wrong, and he ends up defecting later. |

Enemy at the Door: Hauptmann von Bulow, the title character of "The Prussian Officer", is a Prussian nobleman but objects to being called a Nazi, and explains at length that he is not a Party member and that people of his class regard the Nazis as inferior and common but temporarily useful in the pursuit of increasing Germany's imperial dominance. | |

The New Order Last Days Of Europe, being an Alternate-History Nazi Victory, naturally has its fair share of blue-blooded brownshirts. Notables among them include Josias, Prince of Waldeck and Pyrmont serving as the reichscommissar of the Caucasus and Count Schwerin von Krosigk as reichsprotektor of Bohemia and Moravia. Sergey Taboritsky from Komi is a very unusual example. He is a hardcore Esoteric Nazinote (A breakaway ideology that fuses the racist and social Darwinist aspects of National Socialism with a theological character, and is so batshit-insane that most mainstream Nazis in this setting vocally denounce it) monarchist who models himself as a Russian aristocrat. In real life, Taboritsky was a Nazi collaborator who faked his German-Russian noble background to hide the fact that his mother was Jewish from the NSDAP (that's right, he was a half-Jewish anti-Semite - surprisingly the man wasn't very well upstairs). |

Prince Gihren Zabi of Mobile Suit Gundam is what happens when this trope meets A Nazi by Any Other Name. He's a Social Darwinist who sees Adolf Hitler as someone to look up to, going so far as to take being compared to him as a compliment ("I'll show you what a man who follows in Hitler's footsteps can accomplish!"). He's also The Evil Prince and a member of the ruling Zeon nobility. The comparison was made by no less than his own father, Degwin Sodo Zabi, the ruler of the Principality of Zeon, and Degwin pointedly did not intend the remark as a compliment. The scene may count as a final definitive confirmation that Gihren has crossed the Moral Event Horizon by his pride in being compared directly to Hitler. | |

Baron Max von Alvenstor from Margin for Error is blond-haired, blue-eyed, and helped beat a Jew to death in Berlin on the night of November 7th, 1938. Though a loyal German, he speaks perfect Oxford English, and his Nazi sympathies are doubtful, especially after it's revealed that his grandmother was Jewish. | |
