Nazi zombies are a horror trope found in films , video games , and comic books . Nazi zombie narratives usually feature undead Nazi soldiers resurrected to fight for the Third Reich . The book Nazisploitation!: The Nazi Image in Low-Brow Cinema and Culture described the genre as a small theme of horror films.[1]
The first Nazi zombies films King of the Zombies and Revenge of the Zombies were produced during World War II .[2] Nazisploitation began to appear concurrently in other film subgenres.[3] These include a mini-invasion of Nazi zombie films such as Shock Waves , Night of the Zombies , Zombie Lake and Oasis of the Zombies .[3] [4] The increased popularity of the zombie film in the 2000s increased interest in the Nazi zombie subgenre, with films such as Horrors of War , Dead Snow , and Frankenstein's Army .[5] More modern films such as Overlord , continue the Nazi zombie film genre .[6] Nazi Zombies also feature in the Wolfenstein series, Call of Duty series, and Sniper Elite series of video games.[7]
