The Hitler Zombie definitely approves of this movie:
Too bad I don't speak German or Norwegian, because here's the movie website, and here's another trailer sans subtitles:
I wonder if I can take some stills from this trailer to use the next time I feel "inspired" (at least I like to call it that) to pen yet another Hitler Zombie epic.

Back in December, I pointed out a Norwegian movie that the Hitler Zombie definitely approves of: Dead Snow (or Død Snø in Norwegian). After all, how can you go wrong with Nazi zombies in a remote, snow bound area in Norway attacking the usual bunch of hapless but beautiful young people? I don't…
In nondescript dressing room in a nondescript studio in a nondescript office building in in a nondescript industrial park, a short, pudgy 63-year-old man with the stereotypical demeanor of a particularly boring economist was trying to squeeze into a pair of shorts.

...we need a little something as night approaches.
I know just the thing: Brain-eating zombies.
Given that this is the blog that conceived of the misbegotten literary (if you can call it that) device known as the Hitler Zombie, how could I not post a clip involving an actual cinematic brain-eating…
Does anyone remember a few months ago, when I wrote about Ben Stein? No? Here, then, I'll jog your memory. Ben Stein and his involvment in that piece of cinematic excrement Expelled! "inspired" me to--if you'll excuse the term--resurrect a certain recurring character from the very early days of…
Wow, this film looks awesome!
I particularly like the "Ein, Zwei, DIE!" tagline. ;-)
I do, however, wonder how the Nazi zombies kept their teeth so white and shiny while in the ground for more than 60 years...
Definitely a must see. I will add it to my list of movies to see. Along with my books I must read. After I finish the national enquirer.
First Nazis from space, now Nazi zombies!
Agreed, the "Eins Zwei Die" tagline is an instant classic. I also like the guy going to town with the hammer and sickle.
Ein ! Swei! Die!
Classic.
But. . . if it was a nazi naval base, how come they're dressed like SS troopers ?
:::shrug:::
The use of "Ode to Joy" in the last section of the trailer is a little surreal, but it does give a sense, I think, of what the filmmakers were feeling when they put this together!
I particularly like the "Ein, Zwei, DIE!" tagline. ;-)
Of course, it translates to "one, two, the."

Dermestid beetles -- the oral hygiene regimen preferred by dead people everywhere. The trick is to spit them out before they reproduce; otherwise, you're only getting roles in Harryhausen films.
You do realize that there's an entire subgenre of zombie Nazi movies, right? Most of them are from Italy, France, and Spain, and date from the 70s -- Shock Waves, Zombie Lake -- I'm pretty sure Jess Franco, Jean Rollin, and Joe D'Amato have all made zombie Nazi movies. And that's leaving out American films like They Saved Hitler's Brain or The Boys from Brazil, which are not, technically speaking, zombie movies.
Damn why didn't I think of that? Ok next...zombie Romans.
Isn't this classic? The only thing that could increase the element of awesome would be a cameo from Ben Stein, wherein his prefrontal cortex is soundly munched. Or would that make it a documentary?
Looks like my kind of movie. Might be just as much fun as Flight of the Living Dead or Black Sheep.
It definitely looks as though it has Shaun of the Dead potential...
Oh, my. I haven't even heard about this movie until now. Recently, I also heard about a pretty good Swedish Vampire movie. Sounds like Scandinavia is getting on the horror film map.
I particularly like the "Ein, Zwei, DIE!" tagline. ;-)
Of course, it translates to "one, two, the."
"DIE" can also translate to "She"
In a similar vein is a British movie called Outpost.
There seems to have been a real resurgence (or maybe resurrection?) of the zombie genre in the last few years. Ozzie movie Undead, the above-mentioned Kiwi effort Black Sheep which is possibly a film that could only have been set in New Zealand or maybe Wales (and New Zealand does have the Peter Jackson gore-fests of Bad Taste and Braindead to refer back to!), and Severed set in a remote logging community (chainsaw zombie death is great). Add to this the zombie-esqe 28 Days/28 Weeks Later, the continuations of the Romero saga, and of course Shaun of the Dead, and I think it's safe to say that all is well in zombie movies at the moment.
Well, except for the actual zombies...
Don't these filmmakers know? Zombie movies are out with the Bush administration's end. It's a Democrat in the White House now, so it is back to a period of vampire movies.
The fun article about this is here:

"DIE" can also translate to "She"
Or "they".
Die can be a she or they? Die is "the" that expresses the female gender of a word, how can it mean "she?"
Wow, I'd heard about that movie, but I hadn't seen the trailer. That looks SPECTACULAR! A definite must see.
Butbutbut ... zombies are poikilothermic - they freeze solid in the winter! This movie is totally unrealistic!
Black Sheep is absolutely awful, though a fun watch. I wouldn't put it on the same level as tastelessness as Jackson's movies though.
No, the really unrealistic thing is that scene where you can see the steam coming out of one of the zombie's mouths. The zombie's breathing! Everybody knows zombies don't breathe. ;-)
Zombie Sheep are way scarier than zombie nazi's. Nazi's are bad anyway but sheep aren't so easily triaged into dangerous versus not dangerous.
Luckily there is an easy countermeasure. Mint Sauce- with me at all times.
Kristjan- Black Sheep is connected to Jackson through the Weta special effects people so it's part of the same creative cloud of people. I'll recommend you "Meet the Feebles" -Jackson's version of the Muppets except they all have drug addictions and STDs.
Finally a NAZI teen scare flick, and in Norway no less.
But why do they have to give them Zombie faces? Just have them walking around as though they were of the living and the scare factor quotient would be a lot higher.
Thought they should build the story line around the heavy water plant the German's were working on in Norway.
The Norwegian commandos were forced to sink the ferry that carried supposed heavy water in a top secret mission to stop German efforts at Nuclear capability (turned out they were not even close thank god). Unfortunately, they had to sink the ferry boat with the heavy water train car on it with fellow Norwegians on board.
Speaking of the Hitler zombie, I think the white power rangers themselves need to have him turned on them for this lovely news story.
