Nazi

The Nazis, short for Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, (PROSE: Just War) were a racist, fascist, and expansionist political party in Germany. They came to power under Adolf Hitler on 30 January 1933 when Hitler became Chancellor. (AUDIO: Neverland) World War II broke out on 1 September 1939 (PROSE: Just War; AUDIO: An Eye For Murder)

George Wilson believed that the Nazis, along with the Allied Forces, were pawns of the Committee. (AUDIO: The Conspiracy)

Foreshadowing
In 1903, after receiving a wealth of information from the future, Grigori Rasputin foresaw, among other things, Hitler and the Nazis. (AUDIO: The Wanderer)

Pre-war
The Nazis were influenced first by the Timewyrm, who took up residence in Adolf Hitler's mind, and then the War Chief and the War Lords, who detected the Timewyrm's psychic powers within him and hoped to use him to conquer the universe. The Seventh Doctor, by becoming a personal advisor to Hitler, was able to first expose the machinations of the War Lords and later expel the Timewyrm (which left Hitler disoriented enough to allow the Dunkirk evacuation). (PROSE: Timewyrm: Exodus)

The Nazis gained popularity by feeding on the discontent caused by the indignities and troubles suffered by Germany after World War I. The Sturmabteilung, Hitler's private army, effectively replaced Germany's police force, suppressing subversive Bolshevist elements and restoring law and order. The Nazis stood in the elections in July and November 1932 and although they failed both times to win a majority, Hitler eventually became Chancellor the following January. The First Doctor and Susan Foreman felt that if interwar Germany was more economically stable, the Nazis may not have come to power. (AUDIO: The Alchemists)

In 1936, Nazi sympathisers, including King Edward VIII and Sir Oswald Mosley, attempted a coup to place a Nazi-friendly government in charge of Great Britain, but were foiled by the Sixth Doctor and Peri Brown. (PROSE: Players)

That same year, the Seventh Doctor and Melanie Bush met Nazi scientist Emil Hartung, and accidentally gave him ideas that would lead to the development of a stealth bomber. (PROSE: Just War)

World War II
In 1938, the Nemesis statue influenced Hitler to annex Austria. (TV: Silver Nemesis) This event was later considered by some to be the start of the War, although open hostilities did not begin until the invasion of Poland in 1939.

In 1940, the German Air Force began an air campaign known as the Battle of Britain. The campaign was designed to establish air superiority over the British and destroy their defences.

By 1941, the Nazis had been prevented from successfully invading Britain by the Shakers, who conducted a terrorist war against German forces as part of a secret agreement with a faction of the British government. (PROSE: Losing the Audience) Despite this, they were able to launch a scaled-back version of Operation Sea Lion and conquer the Channel Islands. From there, they intended to use Hartung's weapon to force an Allied surrender. Although accounts differ, either Chris Cwej and Roz Forrester (PROSE: Just War) or the Bernice Summerfield and Jason Kane (AUDIO: Just War) managed to destroy the bomber.

Having failed to establish air superiority, the Nazis turned to a terror bombing campaign known as the Blitz. The Doctor and his companions were involved in the Blitz a number of times, although rarely engaging the Nazis any more directly than through their bombs. (TV: The Empty Child, Captain Jack Harkness, Victory of the Daleks) Working toward their own agenda, Daleks did destroy several Nazi planes over the skies of London during this time. (TV: Victory of the Daleks) In one instance, an attempted invasion by the Cybermen, using the Blitz as a cover, led the Seventh Doctor, Ace, and an American private detective to expose secret Nazi operatives within Britain. (PROSE: Illegal Alien)

In 1941, a group of Nazis led by Koenig attempted to use a device which would block British radio signals, allowing German ships to attack without being detected. The plan was foiled by George Woods and the time-travelling Clyde Langer. (TV: Lost in Time)

In January 1942, Nazis in France forced Professor Pierre Vedrun to develop a matter transporter for their war effort. When they found out the transporter was also a time machine, they planned to use the device to acquire future weapons and use them to win the war. The plan was defeated by the Third Doctor and the French Resistance. (COMIC: Timebenders)

Later in 1942, Nazis were present in Stalingrad. They killed two Russian soldiers, Piotr and Yusef, during an invasion of Isabella Zemanova's home. (PROSE: The Beast of Stalingrad)

During the height of the War, both the Sixth Doctor with Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart (PROSE: The Shadow in the Glass) and the Seventh Doctor with Ace (PROSE: Timewyrm: Exodus) met repeatedly with Hitler and other high Nazi officials.

In 1944, the Seventh Doctor and Ace arrived at Colditz Castle, a Nazi POW camp, and accidentally left behind a laser, which allowed the Nazis to turn defeat into victory and conquer most of the world. (AUDIO: Colditz) In this alternate timeline, the Nazis captured the TARDIS. Elizabeth Klein, an ardent Nazi, brought the TARDIS back to 1944 and inadvertently allowed the Eighth Doctor to restore history, stranding her in the prime reality. (AUDIO: Klein's Story) Elizabeth Klein subsequently became a companion to the Seventh Doctor, but plotted to restore her original timeline. The final outcome of a series of manipulations led to Elizabeth Klein the Nazi being replaced by Elizabeth Klein the UNIT hero. (AUDIO: A Thousand Tiny Wings, Survival of the Fittest, The Architects of History)

In one alternate timeline dubbed "Germany Alpha", the Nazis were totally victorious over the whole world, having had all their enemies "sent East". Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun had conceived a child, August. The Great House Mirraflex sent a Cwej-Prime called "Herr Abschrift" to this timeline to offer these Nazis the ability to travel to other Earths throughout the multiverse, leading to the Council of Hitlers and a Reich that spanned thousands of universes. However, this Reich fell under the combined forces of all the universes where Rome never fell, led by Marcus Americanus Scriptor from Roma I, with the support of Faction Paradox and possible Enemy agents. (PROSE: Warlords of Utopia)

In 1945, Hitler committed suicide, and the Nazis surrendered shortly thereafter. (PROSE: The Shadow in the Glass)

Neo-Nazis
In 1983, neo-Nazis firebombed the home of Ace's friend Manisha Purkayastha because she was from Pakistan. Thinking about this, Ace later lamented how Nazi ideologies had managed to survive beyond the Second World War. (PROSE: Illegal Alien, TV: Ghost Light)

In 1988, a neo-Nazi group led by De Flores attempted to take control of the Nemesis statue and use it to establish a Fourth Reich, but they were foiled by the Seventh Doctor and Ace. (TV: Silver Nemesis)

In 2001, another neo-Nazi organisation, led by Adolf Hitler, Jr., pretending to be his father preserved by stolen Vvormak technology, planned to conquer the world with the help of demonic imps, but the Sixth Doctor and the Brigadier managed to foil the plans. (PROSE: The Shadow in the Glass)

In 2593, on Tyler's Folly, Bernice Summerfield encountered the SSSSSSS ("Stella Stora Sigma Schutz-Staffel SturmSoldaten") which was considered the most ineffective Nazi group since the Outer Hebridean National Party. (PROSE: Down)
