Kishin Heidan was cool but that was more WW2 never happened because aliens invaded and Japan ended up on the good side. That said there's some stuff involving Manchuria towards the start that was probably bad. It's been years since I've seen it.
There's a Nazi giant robot.

yeah that one sounds more innocent than the one about Yamamoto going back and time and inventing all the powerful weapons and basically creating a worldwide empire

to be fair i'm basing this on text entries, so the degree of weirdness may vary

People talk about nationalist themes in anime now, but there were apparently multiple OVAs that started in 1993 that are about Japan winning the war in the Pacific, or invading Manchuria because they had to defend it from aliens

I only approve of nationalism in english things, where it is actually patriotism

The Imperial Japanese guy is the main villain and it ends with the Allies nuking the aliens while a big three on one giant robot battle occurs
