| Nazi Zombies | comment |
A particular Sub-Trope of Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot that has seen a rise in popularity from the late 2000s onwards. Nazis are a Villain by Default, so one way to make them even more evil and scary is to have The Undead bear the swastika. If it's just for the sake of Rule of Cool, this trope overlaps with both Everything's Deader with Zombies and Gratuitous Nazis. So why are World War II-era Germans so often depicted as shambling corpses? Well, this fantastical association between Nazis and zombies presumably flows forth from the Nazis' rather comprehensive Final Solution policies in regards to racial and ideological enemies. There is also the Obviously Evil use of skull imagery on uniforms, and a history of occult societies in Germany that were supported by some members of the Nazi Party. If there's any faction in World War II who are believable as undead monsters in fiction, it's the Nazis. Additionally, you have the historical association between Nazis and their horrific human experimentation, so it makes sense that they would end up creating The Virus. Like other zombies, how intelligent they are varies from depiction to depiction. If intelligence is on display, there's usually just one or two commanding officer types leading a rabble of more mindless soldier type zombies. Sometimes, though, they're all just a mindless horde who are less "Nazi zombies" than they are "zombies in Nazi uniforms," due to being incapable of having a creed more complicated than "go here, eat that." If the latter type, they may not have any loyalty to other, living Nazis, and will eat them as willingly as they'll eat any other living people. If they are intelligent and still loyal to the former Nazi regime, they also serve as The Remnant and may well attempt to establish the Fourth Reich—with zombies! A rather literal form of Ghostapo. Could be the reason why there's a Weird Historical War going on. |

Weird Historical War | |
| Nazi Zombies / int_55d38296 | comment |
In Warlord Games' Konflikt '47, the Germans are the only side in the Weird Historical War who notably use actual zombies (the Japanese use robots and soldiers with Intangibility and the Italians have a greater emphasis on Jump Jet Pack-wielding drop-troops. The Russians, through espionage on Germany, have developed "ghouls" of their own, but those are definitely Technically Living Zombies). | |

Big Bad | |
| Nazi Zombies / int_970c790a | comment |
Big Bad Reinhard from Dies Irae has a whole castle worth of these. The castle itself is also made of them. Though technically they are Nazi skeletons rather than traditional zombies. | |

Mooks | |
| Nazi Zombies / int_c36cba70 | comment |
The undead Nazi Mooks in the Mockbuster Nazis at the Center of the Earth, although they're Technically Living Zombies. To stay alive, they harvest organs and body parts from victims they capture. Included among their number are a slowly rotting Josef Mengele and Adolf Hitler's severed head attached to a Wolfenstein-like robotic body. | |

Ghostapo | |
| Nazi Zombies / int_e8b3ee16 | comment |
One episode in Season 8 dealt with surviving members of the Thule Society (widely referenced in popular culture for codifying the Ghostapo trope), who have access to a form of Necromancy that turns them into this, although their bodies don't decay and they retain their intelligence. Unlike most supernatural creatures in the show, they can be killed using conventional means, but they won't stay dead for long unless you burn the body. | |
