3:00 MORTAL STORM - my favorite pairing of Margaret Sullavan and James Stewart, with Robert Young and Dan Daily (!) as young Nazis and a very touching performance by Frank Morgan as a Jewish Professor caught up in the maelstrom.
You do get to see Ward Bond as a Nazi though.....
There is a HUGE case of peer pressure here for everyone in the movie to become a Nazi..Robert Young gives in---but loses Margaret Sullavan in the bargain.
I just saw an interesting Nazi movie yesterday---Fritz Lang's Hangmen Also Die!--in which the Prague resistance gets the best of their Nazi "protectors." In a strange way, this movie is a very entertaining high action movie, especially when the underground completely sets up Gene Lockhart in the end. (It's still on my DVR drive, which is another way to "collect movies." instead of buying DVDs.)
This, along with Lang's Man Hunt (1941) www.imdb.com/title/tt0033873/reviews-67 makes for an interesting set of action movies from the war years.
