Call of Cthulhu's setting in the 1920s means that there are plenty of awesome historical things which can crop up, but one pulp standby that can't really show up are Nazis. Yes, the NSDAP technically exists throughout the 20s, but you can't get full on Indiana Jones MP40 wielding soldiers and the Ahnenerbe won't even exist until 1935.
But luckily you're not completely stuck for full on Indiana Jones Bergmann MP18 wielding soldiers! The Kapp Putsch of 1920 saw the Weimar government - hitherto happy to use various Freikorps to put down Communist dissent - disband a batch of Freikorps. Thus giving you a batch of potential Thule Gesellschaft/Wehrwolf Bund sympathisers who can show up in uniform anywhere around the globe, exiled or trying to get that one big haul together that will put them back into legitimate favor back in Germany.
