Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl
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.

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.
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.
Porco Rosso is an excellent Ghibli film with anti-fascist themes.
Iron Sky is ridiculous and good for a laugh if you need a break from the real Nazis.
hogan's heroes (no I don't follow controversy that happened decades ago)
Y'all need to see the OG anti-nazi movie, Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator, which he made in 1939.
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.
Anyone mentioned “Allo allo!” already?
American History X ?
Many Italian songs, especially Modena City Ramblers
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.
And Doom2
Now do you mean the actual original, or do you mean Wolfenstein 3D?
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.
Does Hetalia count?
Call me basic, but Captain America has been beating up Nazis for a long time.
Until he became the Nazi...
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.
Ran a game of this. Many Nazis were fucked up and good times were had. Hitler's blood? Tasted like stale rot.
Not explicitly Nazi, but good enough. There was an episode of Sliders where there's a world where those with immigrant blood or who don't fit a certain type of white if I remember correctly get taken away to prison camps essentially. The twist is that they are essentially turned into slaves through some surgery. Also, apparently there was no Hitler on that parallel Earth. A single person (can't remember if he was alone or with a group/party) was responsible for it all to be allowed.
The idea of those deemed impure/undesirable in society being medically turned into slaves probably sounded like nothing but sci-fi back then but now under the current US president, it doesn't sound too far fetched (aside from what they were turned into of course).

Okay, for the 90s then because I'm pretty sure eugenics was way outta fashion by then flr the majority of people. Totally forgot about eugenics because it definitely isn't something I'm thinking about almost ever.
The Babylon 5 subplot about president Clarke and his regime comes to mind. The scene with the woman of the Ministry of Truth visits Babylon 5 and claims to have sollved problems by rewriting the dictionary does rhyme with certain events in my country.
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.
I'm partial to Nazi Punks, Fuck Off, originally by the Dead Kennedys. Napalm Death does a great version, too, if you're more into grindcore
This song is featured in the horror movie Green Room, which is also an excellent answer to this question.
