Nazi invasion
Third Reich aggression
A Nazi invasion refers to military aggression by Nazi Germany, particularly the campaigns of territorial conquest during World War II: the invasions of Poland, France, the Soviet Union, and other nations.
The phrase evokes blitzkrieg tactics, occupation, and the horrors that followed.
Figuratively, Nazi invasion describes any unwelcome intrusion perceived as authoritarian or overwhelming: My in-laws' visit felt like a Nazi invasion.
