Only to a certain degree. Nazi exploitation films tend to concentrate on the experiments and torture undertaken by the nazis, usually with a certain sexual (usually S&M) undercurrent, rather than on their more conventional war-time escapades. The Boys from Brazil sort of fits because it's about Josef Mengele but falls down on its lack of gratuitous sex and violence (hence my argument that it's a sort of mainstream equivalent), whereas Kelly's Heroes and Where Eagles Dare are more just action films that happen to be set during WWII.
