There’s also [Pasazerka](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054159/). [Whisky Galore, AKA Tight Little Island](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042040/) might be stretching a point - I don’t remember much more than a shot of the Nazis sinking the ship with the cargo of whisky, and even that may be my imagination.

Lissener, when exactly is your in-store “Nazis in film” special section going to be displayed? Because the timing could be a bit problematic, to wit: April 20 – Hitler’s birthday April 30 – Hitler’s, uh, deathday May 7-8 – V-E Day You don’t want people to get the wrong idea of why and when you’re doing this, do you? My feeling is that if it must occur during April, it would be best to schedule it for April 7 - May 7, so that it’s V-E Day that represents the grand finale and ultimate point of the exercise. The worst scheduling would be March 20 - April 20, unless you’re trying to court neo-Nazis as customers… ---

> [@psychonaut](#): > > Were there any Nazis in that movie? IIRC military officers in the Third Reich were not permitted to join political parties. Not sure about enlisted men, though. IIRC in Das Boot (only seen the unextended release, back many years ago) there’s one still gung-ho new green ensign on his first cruise who is mockingly referred to by one of the grizzled vets as “our latest from the Hitler Youth”; the veterans at one point start playing/singing _Brit_ war songs to his annoyance. I seem to recall, though I may be mixing up a different film, a scene at port where some officer/official may be acting all Heil-Hitlerish while the crew cares little for that any more. ---

Would Hitchcock’s [Sabotage](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0028212/maindetails) count? I can’t remember if the gang of saboteurs was specifically identified as Nazis, but it was set in London in the late 1930’s, so they were the likely targets. ---
