―A Nazi soldier to two Klansmen in Roswell

The Ku Klux Klan or commonly known as the KKK, or simply the Klan, was an American white supremacist group that was permitted by Nazi Germany to govern the Southern States after World War II, now are banned in the restored US for betraying their country.

History

After the Germany occupied the US, they helped the KKK purge the black community, through brutality and oppression, and causing the rest to either flee, or become slaves. The Nazi occupiers then allowed the KKK to govern the Southern States, due to them being seen as loyal enough, as well as not a threat. This had also caused their numbers to swell enormously. As a result, most black people and anti-KKK people joined the American Resistance, to fight both the Nazis and the KKK.

However, in Roswell, it shows that the Klan still treads cautiously around Nazi authorities. They are not excepted to the strict German learning policy enforced within the National Socialist States of America. A pair of KKK members can be seen conversing with two German soldiers, who gives them advice about what the future beholds under Nazi rule. One of the soldiers then asks the two KKK members if they have been practising their German. However, when asked to say "Thank you (Danke schön)," they stammer as they are unable due to their heavy Appalachian accents, causing the soldier to warn them to practice harder, or they'll have forced education.

According to Grace Walker, the KKK are mostly in control of the South. Due to their Nazi collaboration, most of their members are targeted by the American Resistance network for assassination, with the prime target being the 'Grand Wizard,' who wears red robes.

The Ku Klux Klan is a minor enemy in the Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. They are extremely weak since they lack armor. A single bullet can easily put them down. As an enemy, they speak German quite well for combat dialogue. It is likely that many are taking German classes seriously considering Nazi soldiers referenced them as "local Klansmen", not replacements sent from Germany. Strangely, they do not wear HAZMAT suits in Roswell but it might be possible for them to wear them under their robes.

After the Second American Revolution, the KKK lost their footholds in the country and their members were mercilessly hunted down by the African-American people as revenge for their collaboration with the Reich and harassing minorities. For their betrayal, the KKK were then arrested and banned from regrouping by the restored Federal Government on pain of reprisals by those they harmed and by the resistance.
