there are many tv shows and movies that involve the Nazis in trying to summon supernatural allies to defeat the allies in WW2, is there any truth to these shows, or is this just an easy target for filmmakers?

the movies/shows im referencing specifically are Hellboy and Supernatural, but others do the same.

Not to discourage more answers, but here're several past questions on the subject, from the subreddit FAQ. In short, the Nazis were definitely linked with occult practices, and some groups within their disorganized regime continued to search for occult relics. It definitely wasn't a major part of their war effort, of course.
