I thought Hunters was going to be based on true events of hunting Nazis after the war. Just read the premise now and realised its more of an ‘alternate history’ type effort set in the 70s. Best way I can think of expressing it.

Not based on a true story, unless there was a secret nazi plot to overthrow the US government in the 70s I’m not aware of, but based, in part, on real life nazi hunters it seems.

The series is said to have been "inspired by true events," but Hunters isn't based on any single real-life case.

 

Rather, it likely draws inspiration from a variety of different Nazi hunters to have emerged since the end of the Second World War.

 

For example, Nakam (which is Hebrew for revenge) was the name of a group of Holocaust survivors who formed to seek vengeance for the six million Jewish people who died at the hands of the Nazis.

 

There were also many non-violent Nazi hunters, the most famous of which being Simon Wiesenthal, a Holocaust survivor who devoted his life to tracking down war criminals so they could face justice in court.
