Frankly, Nazis are boring at this point and have been done to death in the Indy verse, not just the films, but countless ancillary products, as well.
And the only thing more boring than Nazis would be Nazis in hiding. Without Hitler and without an actual, you know, ARMY to back them up, what's so scary about a bunch of middle-aged loonies hiding in the jungle?
well, if that's the limit to your imaination...yeah sure.
But in the hands of an intellegent, insightfull writer the Nazi idea still has promise.
Like I said, Marathon man was well done, and Jorbex mentions Boys From Brazil...
Clive Cussler's Novel "Atlantis Found" features a storyline about escaped Nazi war criminals who plan to clone Hitler.
Allan Folsom's novel "The Day After Tomorrow" also dealt with a similar theme of resurrecting Hitler.
Irving Wallace's The Seventh Secret features a storyline that Hitler may have survived World War II and arranged for a doppelgänger to be killed to mimic his suicide.
But Spielberg has already killed more Nazis on celluloid then there ever were...
...he's done.
