Many cultures have decades of pop-culture anti-nazi media. What are some of your favorite video games, movies, music, tv shows, books, and other media that are anti-nazi?

Hard to beat the Wolfenstein games and the Indiana Jones movies.
Probably not what you had in mind, but Eat the Reich is a ttrpg in which you, a vampire commando, infiltrate occupied Paris to drink all of Adolf Hitler’s blood.
It’s not as direct, but Star Wars Andor has this kind of energy to it.
Star Wars always has been anti-nazi, especially movies 4-6. It got quite a bit diluted into “bad yoga teacher womp”, but still.
Porco Rosso is an excellent Ghibli film with anti-fascist themes.
Jojo Rabbit. Telling a story from the perspective of a child who has only known propaganda for his whole life makes the film an important reminder of how this all happened, how real human beings can end up going along with horrible things.
One of my favorites. Crazy film that spans such a wide range from goofy to tragic.
Call me basic, but Captain America has been beating up Nazis for a long time.
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.
I wanna say The Producers. So many works trying to demonise Nazis falls into the trap that demons are kinda cool, but Springtime for Hitler is so ridiculous that no matter how pro-Nazi the lyrics are, you can only laugh at them. And watching Hitler throw it back is just peak theatre.
