I've always had this idea for a nazi character who is stranded in the future, i.e current day america and has to relearn what it means to be a nazi without a cause and somehow fit into society

hello?

Nazis are intrinsically likeable.

How many German officers really cared about party agenda?

I only know Tarantino from the memes here. Never seen any of his flicks they look awful.

Landa would be even more interesting if he was actually stating Nazi ideological goals while being so suave and humorous. To write an interesting Nazi, you should understand their worldview and goals without the prejudices of our time invading in. That's the way, to be an objective historian about this topic, and minimize the baggage of the contemporary worldview that you bring in as a writer

If what you mean is "how do I get normies to like and relate to a character that's a nazi" I'd recommend writing it so he was forced/pushed into the party or something like that

Make him a traumatized WW1 veteran that joined the party to protect his family better. Everyone likes a family man and the PTSD would give him sympathy points.

that nazis ran the gamut of human morality just like any other nation and werent cartoon villains down to the last man

make him black

>he's so talented and charismatic that the other nazis don't mind that he's black
>is vengeful towards jews because they sold his ancestors
>opposes race mixing and has a black wife
>has received medals from hitler himself
could be neat

First you must create the universe.

Better question: How can I pull off a """pro-Nazi""" film that's understood to be tongue in cheek and not really pro-Nazi, but doesn't appear that way. Sort of like a far less obvious Starship Troopers.

xuck

Start with an honest, kind, reasonable man. Now subject him to weimarian horrors, a stranger in his own decadent and diseased land. Now let him choose: do nothing, or purge his nation of its plague.

Maybe he only joins cuz hitler promises to exempt blacks in germany

they're like garth ennis comics
they have some really clever and thoughtful stuff
then a racist caricature walks on screen, calls someone a dumbass nigger, and viscerally beats them into a gory mess
if you can get past that, it's usually worth it, otherwise no

Give him a personality beyond being a foaming at the mouth racist
Don't conform to stereotypes everyones seen before of cold, calculating, charismatic art connoisseur chessmaster or anything like that. Think outside the box. What would a cheerful carpenter who just so happened to be a Nazi be like? Or a harried office guy who just generally tries to do the right thing most of the time?

nazis were the good guys and holocaust didnt happen

>sees how much the West has fallen to degeneracy
>Journeys into life learning from JP, Ben Shapiro and Molymeme
>dies tragically after getting bashed in the head by Antifa

Directed by: Mel Gibson

make him an incompetent idiot with a sense of humor that annoys all of the serious nazis

why is this site behaving like a flaccid penis

An actual Nazi or just a German soldier?

Inglorious Basterds did a pretty good job of writing a likable German soldier with the one who gets his brains bashed in with a baseball bat rather than betray his comrades. The Germans were fighting for their country and ultimately for their survival against Soviet invasion as the war turned against them. Depicting a German who's fighting for the survival of his family and who likely was conscripted into the war wouldn't be too difficult particularly if you set the film on the eastern front with them fighting the Soviets a regime that killed more people than the Nazis did.

A film with an actual likable Nazi who genuinely believed in national socialism would never get made. Nazism is only allowed to be discussed as a cartoonishly evil parody in mainstream discourse. Presenting it as an even remotely defensible albeit misguided political philosophy in the same way one might present communism would simply not be allowed and would get anyone involved labeled a Nazi or a Nazi apologist.

I actually really like what Inglorious Basterds did
It made if feel like the american soldiers were the cruel foolish ones, while the germans were much more clever and merciful.
It gave the film a feeling that no one was the "good guys" and helped it live up to the name of "Inglorious Basterds"

Stalingrad.

So “he choose poorly” from Indiana Jones and The Fucking Cup is a transcendent brain villain?

If you aren't aware, when the Nazi's occupied foreign areas there was much lower rates of rape than when germany was occupied by the soviets and the U.S.

The figures I found were:
34,000 women raped by germans, Most of these women worked in brothels set up for the soldiers and there is conflicting reports about if these women were prostitutes or not but I am counting them for this list.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_crimes_of_the_Wehrmacht#Mass_rape
United States
Varying reports ranging from 11,000 to 190,000. The 190,000 figure is from records kept by Bavarian Priests during the summer of 1945
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_during_the_occupation_of_Germany
Soviets: Up to 2 Million.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_during_the_occupation_of_Germany

if they were prostitutes prior to the war or not.

Why are you implying you give a shit about rape?

>Nazi's occupied foreign areas there was much lower rates of rape than when germany was occupied by the soviets and the U.S.
From your link:
>Other sources estimate that rapes of Soviet women by the Wehrmacht range up to 10,000,000 incidents, with between 750,000 and 1,000,000 children being born as a result
lol. that's not even going into shit like the foreign birthing centers

that was done in look whos back. it backfired though because they made hitler very likeable

This, do you mean an actual nazi or a german soldier which everyone generalizes as a nazi?

There are tons of movies and shows with likeable german soldiers (Generation War, Stalingrad, Cross of Iron.).

>How do you write a likable/interesting Nazi character?
make them become disillusioned fighting the war
make them scoff at the idea of Führer
give them a pre-war girlfriend that later turns out to be jewish

they were actual people too and behaved like normal human beings, from their perspective they were the good guys

>a nazi without a cause
