BloodRayne: The Third Reich (2010)
Only the dead survive.
Rayne fights against the Nazis in Europe during World War II, encountering Ekart Brand, a Nazi leader whose target is to inject Adolf Hitler with Rayne's blood in an attempt to transform him into a dhampir and attain immortality.
In BloodRayne: The Third Reich, consciousness is carried by monsters and creatures — a plane of “vampire-war”. The story fights on E8/E12 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing war, mortality, otherness, rebellion, power.
