History
Preface
Two different supervillains each have claimed to have been the masterminds, behind the scenes, in bringing about the founding of the Nazi Party:
The Nazis were a political group of fanatical far-right racist Germans that was founded out of the far-right racist völkisch German nationalist movement in Post-World War I Germany. The party took control of the German government during the 1930s, led by its last long-term leader, Adolf Hitler, and established a totalitarian regime known as the Third Reich. Under Nazi ideology, the party advocated that the Aryan race were the superior race on earth. To maintain the purity and strength of the Aryan race, the Nazis sought to exterminate or impose exclusionary segregation upon "inferior races" such as Jews, Romani, and blacks, along with Catholics, LGBTQ+ people, the physically and mentally disabled, and all political opponents. The persecution reached its climax when the party and the German state which it controlled organized the systematic murder of approximately six million Jews and six million other people from the other targeted groups, in what has become known as the Holocaust.
World War II
Following Nazi Germany invading Poland in 1939 and igniting the Second World War, the Nazis had dabbled in unorthodox plots to turn the war in their favor, involving the occult, fantastical weapon projects, and development of its own metahumans to counter their Allied counterparts such as the Justice Society of America and All-Star Squadron.
Legacy
The Nazis were dissolved and shattered after Germany was overrun by the Allied powers in 1945. Prominent members of the political, military, and economic leadership of the defeated Nazi Germany that survived and were captured were prosecuted for war crimes. The Nazis have since been widely recognized as images of modern evil.
Despite the Nazis' atrocities, in the post-World War II era, there have been modern fringe groups and organizations related to or sharing common ideologies with the Nazis, such as Neo-Nazism. Even in the metahuman community there are supervillains that supported Nazism, such as the Aryan Brigade, Axis America, and the Fourth Reich.
