"If you have studied my book, you know I see the Truth! And when the truth is on your side, you always succeed. That is how I was able to wash the world clean from all of the Jews. That is how I crushed the degenerate communists. That is how...I destroyed...William...Joseph...Blazkowicz."
- Adolf Hitler in Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus Adolf Hitler was an Austrian-born German politician that rose to become the Führer (Leader) of the Nazi Party, and later the dictator, "Führer und Reichskanzler" (Leader and Imperial Chancellor), of Nazi Germany. The central ideologue and heart of the Nazi Party and therefore directly responsible for their genocidal reign of terror, he is arguably the overarching antagonist of the MachineGames reboot series. He serves as the tertiary antagonist in Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.
After his imprisonment following a failed coup in Munich, Hitler wrote Mein Kampf, a personal manifesto that outlined his views of the world; a bitter race war between the Germanic Aryans, the divine master race, and the machinations of inferior, parasitic 'lesser' races and agencies, such as the Slavs, Jews and the communists, to limit their power and prevent them from reaching their true potential as the true stewards of humanity. Hitler's writings constitute the foundations of National Socialism and forms the self-serving justification for the Nazi’s hateful desolation of humanity. After winning the war, it is implied that all of the Slavs, Jews and non-Caucasian races on Earth that have not escaped or hidden themselves away have been massacred or enslaved.
In Youngblood, it is confirmed that he had been assassinated by BJ, shortly after the Second American Revolution. However, his death activated a doomsday device that could manipulate the weather, causing the apocalypse to occur over a period of decades, dooming his Thousand Year Reich out of spite simply because it failed to protect its leader.
He was succeeded by General Lothar Brandt, who subsequently became a pariah among the Nazis.
Biography[]
Early Life-Election to Reichkranzler[]
While Hitler’s past is not mentioned in the games, it is safe to assume that his past was the same as his real life counterpart.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein (1943)[]
Wolfenstein 2009 (1945)[]
On a mission to assasinate Adolf Hitler, Blazkowicz is captured and imprisoned, but is able to escape from his prison cell in a Castle in Bavaria, and defeats Hans Grösse (who survived Isenstadt back in 1944).
BJ later discovers Hitler at the castle. In the dawn in the rain, the Führer, using a mecha suit made for him by Wilhelm Strasse, battles BJ. Though the latter severely injures him in the battle, Hitler is able to gain the upper hand and subdues BJ.
Note: According to Bethesda's 3D Classic BJ. may have had his encounter with Hitler in February 1945. But in this timeline, BJ lost.
Hitler attempts to kill BJ by strangling him but is ultimately unsuccessful. Blazkowicz is later thrown back into prison. On December 30, 1945 he is scheduled to be executed by hanging, where Hitler personally puts the noose around his neck. Despite this, BJ ultimately survives and escapes once again.
The Old Blood ~ The New Order Prologue (1946)[]
After his encounter with Blazkowicz, Hitler recovers and later reappears to make a statement saying that any rumors about his death and the terrorist's escape are untrue. He goes on to say that the assassin was captured and hanged (despite the fact that BJ somehow managed to survive the hanging and escape from the Castle). He later visits Castle Wolfenstein and engages in meetings with Helga von Schabbs for a week.
Hitler speaks in Nazi-occupied Washington D.C. c. 1948 (promotional video)
The New Order (1948 ~ 1956)[]
By 1948, after the atomic bombing of Manhattan in New York City which led to the capitulation of the United States, Hitler personally travelled to Washington DC. to deliver an impassioned speech to his gathered forces, declaring total German victory in World War II.
In June of 1956, during Sigrun Engel's graduation ceremony, Adolf Hitler personally arrived to inspect the bodily health of the graduating students. Knowing Hitler's views on bodily health, Irene Engel instructed Sigrun to contort her face in such a way that it appears she is thin, even demonstrating (an act that Sigrun would interpret as making a funny face). Sigrun was confused by this, however. Before this could be explained further, Hitler had stepped towards Engel to inspect her. Upon looking at Sigrun, the latter was startled to find out that Hitler was even there, so much so, that her obesity was made apparent to him. Hitler then asks her "A bit plump in the cheeks, are we"?, before informing Irene Engel that while Sigrun was indeed "beautiful", her bodily health was becoming disgraceful to the regime, before advising Engel to either put a stop to Sigrun's gluttonous antics, or send her to a forced health camp. Fearing for her career, Engel lied that Sigrun's eating habits were merely a "teenage phase", and would fade away in time. Hitler, however, had lost interest and moved on, much to Engel's fury.
The New Colossus (1961)[]
Hitler's False Propaganda Movie; Das Ende Alles Bosen.
By 1961, the now elderly Hitler is in incredibly ill-health: physically and mentally. Despite his aging mind, he still retains his passion for art. According to in-game texts, Hitler has taken up an interest in making movies, naturally having received perfect ratings on all his works. After hearing news about the execution of B.J. Blazkowicz, Hitler decides to start making a movie about the infamous resistance fighter and how he brought him to "justice", (though Frau Engel actually did all the work and Hitler had absolutely nothing to do with the events leading to BJ’s capture and execution) and begins looking for suitable actors. Four actors are ultimately chosen for an audition, with B.J. covertly taking the place of one.
During the audition on Venus, Hitler's ill-health becomes apparent as he painfully urinates in an ice bucket and misses, revealing he is actually urinating blood, openly vomits on the carpet, falls asleep on the floor and rants about Jewish spies and the like during the biased slideshow of BJ's backstory. He seems to have fallen even deeper into insanity, most likely due to Parkinson's Disease, Syphilis and his decades of rampant opioid abuse. He falls in and out of interludes of bizarre, psychotic episodes, mistaking Helene for his mother, Klara Hitler. He hugs her while whimpering "Mother, I'm so cold." before becoming lucid and pushing her away. At other times, he seems to have gone completely insane, as he dementedly screams at Ronald Reagan (an auditioning actor), initially because of Ronald accidentally calling him "Mister Hitler" and not addressing him properly as the "Fuhrer" while he furiously berates him for this misstep and illogically concludes that Reagan is a Jewish spy and kills him out of pure fear and rage. He then forces the second actor, Jules Redfield, who is actually B.J. in disguise, to read his lines at gunpoint (and kills him if he fails), If B.J. reads the lines out correctly, Hitler will still scream out briefly in frustration but calm down and say he read the lines out right, but critiques B.J. for speaking in an emotionless monotone voice. Johnny Anderson then repeats after B.J., reading the lines out loud with Helene, and impresses Hitler by striking the proper menacing attenuation he envisioned for Blazkowicz as the villain. In the next acting part, the actors are asked to physically play one of the fighting scenes and defeat a nazi soldier and finish the scene by reading out a set of lines maliciously mocking the "brave" soldier. Llewellyn Ewing is the first actor to play the part but gets his nose broken and bloodied from the soldier butting his gun into Ewing's face, breaking character and demanding to stop the act to have his injury treated. Helene however presses on to him to read the lines. Hitler unimpressed by Ewing's terribly underwhelming performance casually shoots him to death while chuckling. After "Redfield" plays the role of B.J., to the point of ruthlessly murdering the volunteer soldier and saying" Is this what you wanted? Is this what you had in mind, you Nazi Assholes... Cause that's all you're getting!", Hitler is so delighted that he casually executes the last candidate actor, completely oblivious to the fact that "Redfield" is actually Blazkowicz in disguise. Once the audition is over, he is not seen again for the remainder of the game. However, after B.J. storms the Venus complex, the loudspeaker will announce that Hitler (referred to as the "Alpha") has been 'secured' - a letter by the Führer himself confirms he is in a safe location known only to his "inner circle".
196X (Wolfenstein 3)[]
The events involving Hitler in Wolfenstein 3 remain to be seen. It's also certainly unknown what year it would take place, and by extension: The year Hitler is killed by Blazkowicz.
1980 (Youngblood)[]
It is revealed that sometime after the liberation of the US, Hitler ordered his scientists to design a weather control doomsday device to use against the Resistance. Before he was killed by B.J., he programmed the device to activate upon his death as an act of spite, in order to bring the world down with him, which caused the apocalypse to slowly manifest for years to come. However, as Youngblood is a co-op spinoff for Wolfenstein, it is uncertain whether or not the apocalypse is canon.
References by Game[]
The Old Blood[]
It is mentioned in an offhand remark in a newspaper (Article: The Fuhrer Visits Paderborn) that on January 12, 1946, Hitler came to 'revisit' Castle and Paderborn. Another newspaper dated January 3, 1946 quotes Hitler saying that contrary to rumors regarding a terrorist attack, he is uninjured and the terrorist was hanged by his own hand on Dec 30th, 1945
Berlin, Jan 3 1946 It was the Führer himself who put the noose around the neck of the assassin known as "the Castle terrorist" when he was executed Sunday morning.
Herr Hitler was in a fine mood having recovered remarkably well from the cowardly assassination attempt. As he was led into the execution chamber, the terrorist soiled himself when he saw our Führer in such good health. "Let this be a powerful reminder that all enemies of our great nation will meet a righteous end," said Herr Hitler after the assassin had stopped twitching where he hanged on the rope. "It is time to quell the insidious rumors claiming that I was badly hurt by the terrorist and that he managed to escape. They were fabrications manufactured by our enemies. Everyone who is found to repeat these lies will face trial as traitors of the Reich."
Hitler refers again to this event in AH's postcard in The New Colossus.
While at least some of this account is probably fabricated 'propaganda' at least some of it is probably true. BJ. may have seen a defeat at Hitler's hands' in this timeline another way in which this timeline differentiates itself from the classic timeline. BJ. may have actually did get strangled and/or hanged, but survived the attempt, and did escape. Leaving Hitler to have to heal from his wounds, but also alive in this universe.
During the ending of The Old Blood, Fergus states they have defeated one monster, yet the biggest one is still out there. Although this likely points to Deathshead, he could also be referring to Hitler, since he was the one who was leading and controlling the Reich which was committing atrocities such as building horrific weapons and of course, warring on the rest of the world. He could also be referring to evil itself (based on BJ's later monologue), as a new threat always emerges after the previous one is stopped. However, he can't be referring to Frau Engel, since there is no evidence of Fergus knowing about her existence.
The New Order[]
Hitler does not appear on-screen in : The New Order, not even as a portrait (apart from the Nightmare! sequence) or statue. The Kreisau Circle, likewise, never mentions him, focusing all their attention on Deathshead. Yet there are several references to "the Führer" in newspaper clippings, suggesting that he remained at the head of government through the end of the war and oversaw the construction of the New Order. There are also references to a "Leader" and a "German Leader" in the clippings below.
- One, located in the Circle hideout, describes the Führer giving an interview in 1946 to lay out his vision of a postwar peace.
- A clipping in the hideout from 1948 quotes the Führer announcing the atomic bombing of New York; three days later he welcomes the surrender of the United States. (In the E3 Trailer he is shown to be giving a speech at the Senate building in Washington DC)
- Another clipping from December 1948, Washington quotes "This final act of violence may have saved millions of lives that would have resulted in a land invasion of America" said the German Leader.
- A 1957 clipping describes the Führer cutting the ribbon to open the Gibraltar Bridge and a spectator even stated: "He had such a way with words." Referring to Hitler's unique Oratory skills.
- Around the time of the game's events, pop group Die Käfer (i.e. The Beatles) get in trouble for neglecting to thank the Führer as they open their world tour.
- After B.J. leads an escape from the Belica labor camp, the Führer awards a medal for bravery to camp commander Irene Engel.
A man on the Kreisau Circle's kill list
In Germania (Berlin), the propaganda announcer states at one point "The Führer loves us all"
In Return to London Nautica, a recording of Deathshead himself mentions a leader.
Hitler is mentioned by name only twice, once in the in-game description of the Monuments of Truth, which says that he commissioned them in 1948 to celebrate "the spirit of victory", and once by a soldier outside the London Nautica who says "Heil Hitler" to B.J. and Bobby Bram. There is also a man sleeping on the train to Berlin who looks very similar to Hitler with a similar face as well as a similar haircut, although the moustache is difficult to see. There is also a picture of a man on the Kreisau Circle's killing board with the exact same haircut as Hitler, though again the moustache is obscured by a glass he is holding as well as his hand. He is at the very bottom of the hit list, possibly meaning that the Resistance is targeting the main figures of his army first before going after him. At the Lunar Base, a gold mask of a face that seems to be Hitler's can be found. He is around 71 years old during most of the game's events, but he is never present during any of the game's events at all.
In the Nightmare! sequence, as the player wakes up in a level paying homage to Wolfenstein 3-D, there are paintings of Hitler scattered on walls. This is the only appearance Hitler has in the game.
In level Chapter 10 - Berlin Catacombs at the Mission Goal notes Blazkowicz remarks "I'm in the sewers of Berlin, Air is humid and rank down here. Smells like something crawled up Hitler's ass and died there."
In promotional material such as the E3 Trailer, he is shown in Washington, DC and possibly later giving a speech in London where faint Sieg Heil chants of Hitler's voice are heard. Although this may have either been in a past event where Blazkowicz is shown to have attacked his men or is just promotional material. In the Boom Boom trailer, a man seen outside an exploding Mount Rushmore shaking hands with an SS officer looks like Hitler with the same colored uniform and the same hair color but his face is never really seen. In the House of the Rising Sun, the date 1949 is shown with Hitler very clearly giving a speech in the background.
Although Hitler is never clearly shown, his presence and influence in the Nazi's new world order in 1960 is undeniable.
The New Colossus[]
When Blazkowicz goes to New York, he evacuates Grace Walker and Super Spesh. After which, she claims the American people "They just do whatever the fucking Führer tells them to."
In a scene where the Nazis celebrate a victory parade in Roswell, America, a Nazi soldier has a conversation with two sympathizing Klansmen. He mentions "You're part of the Reich now. Subject to the Great Führer."
Near the Victory Parade, a young woman talks with an SS officer about her distaste towards jazz and rock and roll, particularly Die Käfer (The Beatles). She then talks about impure Austrians. Enraged, the SS officer then says "Do I need to remind you that the Führer himself is an Austrian by birth? And my grandmother!" He then warns her not to insult the Führer again.
Outside a cinema, two men discuss famous German movie director Leni Riefenstahl's new movie. One of them remarks "The Führer sure cleaned up all the depraved filth they had in a cinema."
On a loudspeaker in the street, an announcer says "Remember to honor Der Liebe Führer today by reading a page from Mein Kampf."
There is also a scene in Papa Joe's All American Diner where a little boy named Peter says to his mother that "The Führer is a great author and painter" referring to Mein Kampf and Hitler's paintings as a drifter. He then claimed that another boy named Bobby (most likely Bobby Fischer) told him "The Führer painted the Mona Lisa. And that he made the atom bomb."
On the mission to Area 52, a guard walks out of a room and he says "Heil Hitler."
When Blazkowicz is sentenced to death at the Supreme Court, there are busts of Hitler on the balconies, as well as large paintings of Hitler (of the type largely missing from The New Order, but seen in earlier games).
At the Execution Ceremony, the statue of Abraham Lincoln in the Lincoln Memorial has been replaced with one of Hitler.
In New Orleans, a news article dated June 12, 1949, talks about how the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan announced that "After several long and productive meetings with the Great Leader of the Reich, Herr Adolf Hitler,
Frau Engel's E-Post shows Engel's disappointment that "This subhuman who has not been captured is a disappointment to me and the Führer." She later says "Do not disappoint me. Do not disappoint the Führer."
A newspaper dated February 25, 1961 reveals Hitler's speech about the death of Wilhelm Strasse. "During a televised broadcast yesterday transmitted worldwide, the beloved Führer addressed the death of the great General Wilhelm Strasse following a terrorist attack at his research center on the Baltic Coast last week. General Strasse was not just known for his humanitarian work and scientific research discoveries which helped the glorious Reich free the world from tyranny- he was also a dear friend of the Fuhrer. While our beloved Führer was visibly shaken by the tragic event he remained characteristically determined to punish the terrorists who orchestrated the loathsome attack.
Another Newspaper dated June 12, 1961 mentions "Unlike the beloved Führer, who has shown with the right leadership, People will prosper!"
A Newspaper dated June 20, 1961, says "The sun was shining and the birds were singing during the ceremony yesterday morning, when Frau Engel was appointed to General by the Führer in front of the Volkshalle in Berlin. General Engel, who has devoted her life to the glorious Reich and our beloved Führer, gave a stirring speech that was televised across the globe. "We have been attacked, not by a foreign army worthy of respect, but by criminals, murderers and subhumans. I will accept the position of General appointed to me by the Führer and bring these people to justice! One world, One future, One Führer!" Her speech was given a full minute of applause. General Engel was also gifted the Auzmerzer by our beloved Führer"
On an article dedicated to Neumond TV Production's show "Trust In Brother" mentions that "Our Beloved Führer, may he reign forever, will make a rare cameo appearance in the 200th episode of "Trust In Brother" which airs sometime late next year. Maybe Ronnie will learn a thing or two from our beloved Führer? There s no question that the Führer knows what is best for all of us. The Führer thinks this is one of the best shows in the American Territories. Said the Führer's favorite director Lady Helene in a recent interview."
Another from October 1960 mentions the TV Producer, August Schmeiling saying "Our Beloved Führer is our guiding light in everything, the show would not have been possible without him."
B.J. is sent to Venus to extract the ODIN codes for the Ausmerzer, disguised as Jules Redfield, an actor auditioning for B.J. himself. Upon arriving on Venus, B.J. follows the Director, Lady Helene, to an auditioning room with three more actors auditioning for B.J. While B.J is reading the wildly inaccurate script about himself, Adolf Hitler unexpectedly comes in coughing. Everyone (except B.J) salutes and applauds Hitler.
Based on his coughing, it is shown that age has weakened him a lot. Furthermore, he also seems to have degraded greatly in both physical health and mental stability, since he openly vomits on the carpet, painfully urinates in an ice bucket (and misses, revealing he is actually urinating blood) in front of other people, falls asleep on the floor, and rants madly about Jewish spies during the biased slideshow of B.J.'s backstory. His ruthlessness is over-the-top as usual, as he executes an auditioning actor out of pure rage and paranoia, forces B.J. to read his lines at gunpoint, and kills another actor for giving an underwhelming performance. Furthermore, he also retains his passion for art. After B.J. plays the role of himself, to the point of ruthlessly killing the volunteer soldier, Hitler favors his performance so much that he ends up executing the last candidate actor, completely oblivious to "Redfield's" true identity.
He seems to have fallen even deeper into insanity, most likely due to Parkinson's Disease and Syphilis. He falls in and out of interludes of bizarre, psychotic episodes, as after he has vomited, he seems to be briefly deluded into reliving past childhood trauma, openly mistaking Helene for his mother, Klara. He hugs her before whimpering "Mother, I'm so cold." before pushing her away. Although he seems to have gone completely insane, as he dementedly screams at an actor for not addressing him properly and kills him before shooting him more times than necessary, it shows deep down that the old Hitler is still in there and is in danger of being reawakened. Once the audition is over, however, he is not seen again for the remainder of the game. If B.J. sounds the alarm in the first section of Venus, the message is broadcast that "Alpha" is secured, implying that he has left Venus for his protection.
The Freedom Chronicles[]
Adolf Hitler is referenced in The Freedom Chronicles by Übercommander's Roderick Metze and Hans Stiglitz in The Adventures of Gunslinger Joe and The Diaries of Agent Silent Death.
Appearance[]
By 1961, Hitler is a weak, frail, elderly man in poor health. He has graying black-brown hair, dark brown eyes, and his signature toothbrush mustache. Hitler has a skinny and relatively short build, standing at 5'8. He has also begun to slouch, likely due to his advanced age and poor health. His worsening health is demonstrated when he openly vomits in front of his director and employees, urinates blood, and falls asleep on the floor.
Trivia[]
- Hitler can be killed in The New Colossus with a kick to the head that will break his neck when he lies down; doing so will earn the player an achievement called "Kick It!". But it will also blow B.J's cover, resulting in instant death from the Zitadelle as Lady Helene orders it to retaliate. In the Spanish version of The New Colossus, the achievement is called "Kung Führer". This may be a reference to the 2015 film Kung Fury, in which Hitler is referred to as "Kung Führer".
- However, reading the wrong lines during the audition will result in Hitler questioning "Redfield's" knowledge of who B.J. Blazkowicz is, and then shooting the player with his pistol.
- Several changes regarding Hitler are made in the German release of The New Colossus, the majority of them masking his identity. Hitler's toothbrush mustache is absent, and he is never referred to by-name, being called "mein Kanzler" ("my chancellor"). These changes were done despite the laws against the public display of Nazi symbolism (outside of an artistic or educational context) not banning the depiction of Hitler.
- Despite being nearly 30 years older, Deathshead has not suffered the effects of age nearly as acutely as the Führer, implying he has some form of personalized biotechnology that stops him from aging. Though a fanatical Nazi, Deathshead may have had ambitions to succeed Hitler by proxy.
- It seems that as Hitler continued to rule, his own subjects and apostles had, like him, fallen into a nightmarish dream world. Hitler had symbolically become an almost omnipresent, god-like figure, perhaps more than in real life, to the extent that he is somewhat akin to Big Brother in George Orwell's 1984. He is constantly mentioned, the youth are brainwashed into believing lies about his superiority, Mein Kampf is common and has been both enforced and internalized, he has a cameo in a TV show, hinting at his influence on the propaganda used to brainwash the masses, paintings and life size statues (Note: life size statues of Hitler never existed in Nazi Germany) are adorned everywhere. Nothing but constant praise, homage and salutes to him are always enforced, great offense is taken if Hitler is publicly insulted. This mirrors Hitler's current state: as he is deteriorating both physically and mentally, so are his followers, who seem to have become even more devoted to him and have in a sense fallen into madness, continuing to let him rule despite his obvious unfitness due to their blind idolization, completely turning the Reich into an absolute dystopia.
- Hitler's voice actor in The New Colossus, Norbert Weisser, played the ruthless SS Kommandant Albert Hujar in the movie Schindler's List. This role might have influenced Weisser's compelling performance as the Führer on the state of physical and mental degradation in his later years. That said, Hitler’s voice sounds different than it did in real life (this may be a result of aging). Weisser had previously provided one of the voices for the enemy soldiers in Wolfenstein: The New Order.
- Hitler's movie Das Ende Alles Bösen, is about or covers B.J.'s encounter with Hitler at Castle in the German Alps. The movie poster seen in the slide shows Hitler (with his Mecha) standing over B.J.'s body outside the Castle (the top of the tower can be seen in the distance). At least part of the film takes place near Berghof (Hitler's real life wartime residence), in the Bavarian Alps.
- Hitler is the only Nazi antagonist who speaks no English. The real Adolf Hitler only ever spoke German and some French, and often communicated with foreign leaders by translator, excepting whenever he communicated with British prime minister Neville Chamberlain, as both of them were fluent enough in French to effectively communicate. This was in contrast to a lot of Germans who were at least knowledgeable or fluent in English at the time.
- Hitler has taken up an interest in making movies, having received near-perfect ratings on his works (these ratings are most likely forced). This might be a reference to Nero (37-68 AD), the infamous emperor of Rome, who was not only cruel, sadistic, and delusional, but also saw himself as the greatest actor and artist who ever existed.
- Hitler's paranoia of traitors has worsened in this timeline. Much so to the extent that even when the Arizona actor tries desperately to plead with Hitler, he shoots him even though he only made a slight mistake in formality. This seems to reflect the increasing paranoia of traitors and Jews trying to destroy him.
- It is unknown if Eva Braun is still married to him after the war. However, due to the fact that she is never seen on Venus with him or even mentioned, it is possible that she either died or that they separated. If Eva is still alive, she would be 47 during The New Order and 48 at the time of The New Colossus. She is likely deceased as of 1980, in accordance to Hitler's last will and testament, which rules that in the event of his demise, Braun was to take her own life using a cyanide tablet provided to her, after which the remaining Nazis would disavow all knowledge of her involvement with the Third Reich.
- In Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, Hitler has dark brown eyes, when in reality he had blue eyes in rare color photos from the time, and was described as having "piercing blue eyes" by his followers. This may be a result of the phenomenon of natural color change of the irises in real life.
- According to the Wolfenstein II art book, Hitler was addicted to drugs. This is historically accurate, as the real Adolf Hitler was prescribed many types of drugs including methamphetamine and cocaine by his chief physician Theodor Morell, to the irritation of other Nazis.
- In a postcard sent to Irene Engel, titled 'AH Postcard', Hitler expresses relief to hear of B.J's death. Although stating he is proud of Engel, he further goes into a delusional rant on how he was the one to capture B.J, writing: 'Do you remember how I caught him, Engel?', 'I crushed that terrorist Jew with my iron fist. Yes, I remember now. With my iron fist. Blood and steel. My destiny.' He also mentions that he is working on a film on these events.
- Hitler's delusional rants and his inability to make general sense when addressing the prospective actors during the audition is a reference to his failing sanity during his last days in the Führerbunker, where he was known to issue commands to ghost armies.
- His action of installing the failsafe activation of the weather doomsday device is a reference of the Nero Decree, which is the scorch earth tactic created by Hitler to deny German assets being utilized by their allies as well as to punish the German people for failing him.
- Hitler’s voice is loosely based upon Hitler’s real life natural speaking voice, except it is made to sound as if he were older than he was when World War II ended in real life. His speech pattern is also identical to his real life counterpart.
Behind the scenes[]
Hitler's minor and ambiguous presence in The New Order reflects Bethesda's decision to sell the game in Germany, where all references to Nazis are replaced with references to "the Regime" and all swastikas and Nazi emblems are also changed for legal reasons. In The New Colossus on the other hand, where Hitler does appear, his moustache is removed and instead of being called "Herr Hitler" or "Mein Führer", he is referred to as "Herr Heiler" and "Mein Kanzler (My Chancellor)". His dialogue is also revamped and no longer contains any mention of Jews or "degenerates", instead only makes references to "villains" and "traitors". His unlockable character model is even labelled as "The Producer"; his actual name is only mentioned in the end credits.
