Nazis have been referenced a few times in Buffy:
- In 1.03 The Witch, Buffy says Amy’s mother is, “Nazi-like”.
- In 1.08 I Robot, You Jane, a student’s essay has been changed by Moloch the Corrupter, “This isn’t my report! Nazi Germany was a model of a well ordered society’? I didn’t write that! Who’s been in my files?”
- In 1.10 Nightmares, Xander says, “I’m sorry, I’m unruffled by spiders. Now, if a bunch of Nazis crawled all over my face…” He laster walks past swastika graffitis, just before he sees the evil clown.
- In 2.21 Becoming (Part One), Cordelia says of Principal Snyder, “How about because you’re a tiny impotent Nazi with a bug up his butt the size of an emu?”
- In 3.11 Gingerbread, Xander says, “Aw, man it’s Nazi Germany and I’ve got Playboys in my locker!”
- In 4.01 The Freshman, Buffy mentions the Nuremberg rallies, where the Nazi’s held their anti-Semitic rallies from the early 1920s to 1938.
- In the episode 4.07 The Initiative, Spike is in his containment cell talking to another vampire about who could have captured him, Spike says, “And they are? The government? Nazis? A major cosmetics company?”
- In the Angel episode 5.13 Why We Fight, we see in a flashback that Spike was captured by Nazis in 1943, who were experimenting on vampires as a means of controlling them for their war effort.

Spike wasn’t captured by nazis was he? I was under the impression he was captured by the americans (like Angel) and only had the nazi jacket because he had just eaten a nazi.

The vampires were in the cargo on a U-Boat which was captured by the Americans. It was the Nazis who had captured them in order to experiment on them, the eaten Americans just got unlucky and captured the wrong U-Boat.

Nazis are also referenced in ‘Nightmares,’ although not verbally. In Xander’s dream, he enters a white-washed room with two Nazi symbols on the walls. He then follows the chocolate bars, meets the clown, etc. etc. You know the rest.

They are referenced verbally in Nightmares.
After the scene with Wendell and the spiders, Xander says:
“I’m sorry! I’m unruffled by spiders. Now, if a bunch of Nazis crawled all over my face”
I think that is why the swastika’s are painted on the walls during Xanders nightmare experience.
