The book that the movie Die Hard is based on had an RAF cell as its antagonists. When they adapted it to a screenplay, they had to change them to thieves because at the time, killing Nazi-hunters was a "bad look."^*^

Just kidding, it's because Americans were too oblivious to eastern European politics to understand nuance, and they didn't want to bog down the pace of the story explaining that the Nazis didn't magically disappear because we did a heckin' D-Day-erino or that Germany was kinda fucked up as a result of it, and so forth.Besides, it was a Christmas movie. You don't want it to be sad, do you?
