2012 and a more than generous 2.6/10 on IMDB this is a three part movie, well, three separate stories and none of them containing as the title of the collection suggests - Nazi zombies.
The first story is a weird bag of crap that tells the story of a cowardly British soldier George during WW1 who, after seducing a fan dancer, writes a condolence letter from the army saying he had died. For some bizarre reason her father is an American army major, who tells him his daughter tried to commit suicide and then was kidnapped by the Nazis (again this is WW1) including Hitler (again this is WW1)'s lead occultist who is in the SS (again this is WW1) and that if George doesn't go an save her he will be killed, shot, poisoned, turned into a zombie, who knows? It was a bag of cats, including at one point a fight between the zombie Red Barron and a Japanese Kamikaze pilot zombie.
The second story felt a bit Dr Who-ish as a very hoity toity lady paranormal investigator arrives in a tiny village where a murder has been committed. A pair of lovers were attacked in the woods by a blindfolded Nazi ghost. The local priest is skeptical, but the local yokel police constable is happy to help the investigation.
And finally, you know the phrase "save the best til last?" Well, they didn't. The third story is about demons being attracted to the chaos of war. Hm, original? No. But the demons in question look like Boggles. Remember Boggles from the 1980s? Those rubber ugly puppet today? Too awful to even describe.
2/10 for me and that feels generous looking back on it. I would suggest the title is unrepresentative of the content. There were NO Nazi zombies in this whole movie.
We watch them so you don't have to.
