The mindless drone who does anything he is told, with a certain lack of ignorance but not ambition.

Possibly inspired by the later war SS recruits subject to Training from Hell, from the 12th SS Division Hitlerjugend.

Sub-trope: the blond and innocent looking young recruit able to do the worst atrocities without slightest flinching, like a perfect robot.

That said, it's not much comfort given that Wehrmacht war crimes (with the partial exception of the hundreds of thousands of instances of sexual assault) were the result of explicit orders from officers. This stereotype isn't completely unfounded because German soldiers in WWII were trained to be extremely obedient, sometimes to a fault because they would at times not act unless given orders.

The mindless drone who simply does what he is told out of ignorance and lack of ambition.

Probably gets killed by the Allied soldiers, who lament the death of one so young.

The teenaged grunt who often finds himself in way over his head.

The ' I'm just a soldier doing my job' Nazi, either regular military officer or SS, who feels My Country, Right or Wrong.

The 'Oskar Schindler' type - the guy who really has a heart of gold and works to save the Jewish people and others who have fallen into the Nazis hands or works alongside La Résistance, a la 'Allo 'Allo! The civilian version of the Erwin Rommel type above.

Possibly modelled after real life sadist and Nazi SS Josef Blösche aka 'Frankenstein', who killed over 2,000 noncombatants on his own. The slightest provocation (or none at all) means certain death for prisoners and civilians. May not even care about race, killing is all that matters.

The Nazi who joined the party/SS/army to get the chance to kill people for fun.

May have a full-on Heel≯ace Turn, or else get a tragic death at the hands of his own superiors for his conscience. Tries to convince himself it's all about My Country, Right or Wrong, and serves as a Worthy Opponent to Allied heroes.

The officer with a conscience, usually based on Erwin Rommel, so probably a bit of a Magnificent Bastard.

Just don't expect either to feel anything less than genocidal about the Russians and other Soviet people when you bring them up. I love the US! Vhen ze var is over, ve vill all be friends.') The cultured one above may do the same with fond memories of London, and hopes to pick up friendships in Britain once this dreadful business is over. May have visited one city in the US, and claims to have loved it ('I vas in New York, you know. May or may not be more devious than he appears.

A bumbling Luftwaffe sergeant in direct charge of the American prisoners of war.

He is constantly saying 'This is not the Germany I fought for in the Great War,' and has an old war medal.

The older German who wishes Germany was still Imperial Germany.

In more salacious productions she'll be a sadistic dominatrix who tortures prisoners and forces them to perform sex acts for her own (and presumably, the audience's) amusement.

A female officer in the mold of The Baroness.May or may not overlap with 'Gay Nazi' above. The round-spectacled, black-gloved, sadistic torture master who emits a shrill giddy laugh after every sentence.Ends every conversation with a 'Heil Hitler!' and a loud click of his heels.

The tight-assed Obstructive Bureaucrat who goes through the trouble of donning his entire uniform - including jodhpurs and Wellington boots - before talking to someone (even if said someone is on the phone and unable to see what he is wearing).

Also possibly inspired by Hermann Göring, whose appearance was evidently rather campy. By the time of their destruction on Hitler's orders, the SA was populated by numerous homosexuals or suspected homosexuals.

The pervy, leather-coated Gestapo officer who is super-creepy and maybe even Camp Gay possibly inspired by Ernst Röhm and many of the high-ranking members of the SA, Hitler's original personal guard.

The loud one who is usually on the phone shouting 'Get me ze Führer!'.The cultured one who stands around in vest, braces and lederhosen listening to classical music (usually Richard Wagner) on a gramophone and admiring all his stolen art, who says 'You see, Herr Captain, ve are not all animals.'.
