In the "Star Trek" episode "Patterns of Force", Kirk (William Shatner) and Spock (Leonard Nimoy) visit the pre-warp planet of Ekos to find out what happened to John Gill (David Brian), an old history professor of Kirk's. Ekos, they find, has been culturally contaminated by Gill, as he taught them all about Nazi Germany in the 1930s, and the Ekosians have rearranged their society to match. They wear Nazi uniforms, praise John Gill as their Führer, and plan to exterminate their peaceful neighbor planet Zeon. The Zeon characters have names like Izak and Abrom.
There is also a secret resistance that Kirk and Spock can hide out with, and they eventually find a way to confront John Gill. Gill, they find, has been propped up by one of the more zealously Nazi Ekosians, and has been kept in line with drugs. Gill admits that he landed on Ekos finding it to be disorganized and chaotic,...

Director: James Bruner Writer: Norman Handelsman Starring: Stuart Anderson, Valora Noland, John Kulhanek The now famous cinematographer, Vilmos Zsigmond (McCabe & Mrs. Miller, Deliverance, The Long Goodbye, Close Encounters of the Third Kind) was still a little moist behind the ears from his training at the Budapest Film Academy -- where he studied alongside Laszlo Kovacs -- when first-time director James Bruner recruited him to lens Summer Children. Bruner wanted to create an homage to the masters of Italian Neo-Realism and the French New Wave -- and Raoul Coutard was probably too busy working with the highly-prolific Jean-Luc Godard -- so he chose Zsigmond, a 35-year old devout student of European cinema. Together, they created a visually magnificent film that, upon completion of production, lacked the appropriate financing for post-production publicity and distribution. Summer Children was placed in storage for over 40 years in several different Deluxe Laboratory Archival vaults in several states and countries.
