Y’all need to see the OG anti-nazi movie, Charlie Chaplin’s The Great Dictator, which he made in 1939.
Porco Rosso is an excellent Ghibli film with anti-fascist themes.
Propagandhi - The Only Good Fascist Is a Very Dead Fascist. Especially the line “You can wear my nuts on Your nazi chin”.
Wolfenstein, the orginal.
Now do you mean the actual original, or do you mean Wolfenstein 3D?
And Doom2
A great movie called “Look who’s back” goes into the danger of letting Nazism flourish. In this world Hitler shoots himself at the end of ww2 and then magicaly wakes up in modern times. So he goes back to his old shenanigans and people think it’s satire.
I didn’t realize while watching it that it’s kinda shot Borat-style and some of the reactions from people are genuine.
The Saboteur. A somewhat forgotten but excellent game from the PS3/X360 era, still available on Steam I think.
You play an Irishman in Paris punching nazis and blowing up their shit. The world is black & white and becomes colorful as you capture things.
The racing part sucks, but otherwise the concept and style was just a ton of fun. It had memorable and unique sights and sounds and was just overall a satisfying play.
inglorious bastards, disco elysium
I don’t know much about Disco Elysium. How is it anti-nazi? Isn’t it a space game?
Edit: I was thinking of a different game
It is not a space game. It is a detective game were the narrative comes from your inner voices. Highly recommend, especially if you are looking for some political commentary!
its antinazi in a very subtle way. its a story game loosely inspired by post-soviet life in rural russia/the balkans, but in an alternate universe with motor carriages, cryptids and and The Fog.
you investigate some weird crime involving commies, the local labor union and some fascists. its actually excellent worldbuilding.
Iron Sky is ridiculous and good for a laugh if you need a break from the real Nazis.
Anyone mentioned “Allo allo!” already?
Danger 5 - A Gerry Anderson-esque team of soldiers works to stop the reich’s escapades and kill Hitler.
Great pick! Danger 5 makes fun of everything, but refreshingly never loses it’s focus on killing Hitler.
American History X ?
Chumbawumba
Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl
I’ve watched anti-Nazi TV, read anti-Nazi books and sung along to anti-Nazi songs. But I think my all-time favourite has to be Surf Nazis Must Die.
Which anti-nazi books would you recommend?
They were WWII novels, so nothing scholarly.
