Hitler is very famous in fiction world and SFF is no exception. For example, Captain America Comics has shown Hitler countless times since early 40s. But, I am only interested in the movie and TV series. Some examples:

  • In the episode Let's Kill Hitler of Doctor Who (2005), Hitler was shown.

  • In an episode of Justice League (2001) in which Justice League travelled back in time to restore timeline, Hitler was shown frozen in the end.

Note: Mere mention of Hitler (like that in Captain America: The First Avenger movie) won't be counted.


From a close look into Adolf Hitler in popular culture there is:

Bosko's Picture Show

Bosko's Picture Show was released on August 26, 1933, though at least one source claims the release date is September 18, 1933. It was the last Looney Tunes Bosko cartoon produced by Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising for Leon Schlesinger and Warner Bros.

And (my emphasis)

The final scene of the newsreel takes place in "Pretzel, Germany", where Adolf Hitler is depicted pursuing Jimmy Durante with a meat cleaver or axe in hand. Hitler is depicted as a ruthless and violent buffoon, wearing lederhosen and an armband depicting a swastika. Durante shouts the phrase "Am I mortified!". Aside from newsreels, this is argued to be the first depiction of Hitler in an American film.

But then the article goes on to say:

However there is an earlier appearance in Cubby's World Flight (August, 1933) by the Van Beuren Studios. While flying over Germany, Cubby Bear receives smiles and waves from both Chancellor Hitler and President Paul von Hindenburg

Cubby's World Flight (1933)

The other two answers address the first movie. This answer addresses the first TV series aspect of the question.

According to the list Adolf Hitler in popular culture, the first three appearances of Hitler on a television all occurred on The Twilight Zone:


The first of these episodes aired October 7, 1960. That's after the films of the other answers, but it is the first television appearance.

Adolf Hitler Goes to Hell ?(1944)

It was a propaganda cartoon, showing Hitler driving tiny tanks. Unfortunately for Fuhrer, he messes up with wrong guys and ends up in hell.

Donald Duck Nazi (1943)

This one shows how lucky you are to live in a free country instead of Nazi Germany.

Both movies are arguably SFF - you have impossible, fantastic machines and well... Hell.

Another one (kudos to Clockwork): Daffy the Commando

Edit: Found even earlier one:

Devil with Hitler (1942) - this time a live action movie

In the pits of Hell, the board of directors decides to replace Satan (Alan Mowbray) with Adolf Hitler (Bobby Watson). Satan persuades them to give him 48 hours to save his job by getting Hitler to perform a single good deed.

Satan arranges for Hitler's valet, Julius (Sig Arno), to appear to blunder several times, resulting in his replacement. Satan takes his place under the name "Gesatan".

    I remember a Looney Tunes-ish cartoon I saw when I was a kid. It ended with some kind of duck (Daffy?) hitting Hitler(?) on the head with a hammer. Can't remember how it was called, but the colors looked old enough. I think it was part of a VHS box with Porky on it. – Clockwork Nov 4 '18 at 9:32
  • Nevermind, I found it. It's "Daffy – The Commando", which came out on 20th November 1943. Several months after Donald Duck Nazi though. – Clockwork Nov 4 '18 at 9:36
