Ominous Rumors

"Subject: Unknown"

Interrogation Report - March 17, 1943

Subject: Unknown
Interrogator: Doctor Zee

Very little information was divulged by this subject. He was subjected to 77% standard current before expiring. We did discover a cyanide tablet hidden in a compartment of the subjects boot. This discovery leads us to believe that he and his accomplice are allied spies, although we have not determined at this time which agency they may be working for.

I believe that I will achieve better results from his accomplice.

Subject time of death: 15:35

The clipboard lies on the wall above Zee's sink.

This document is found in one of the first rooms in the game: during "Escape!" it lies on the wall of the torture room in which Doctor Zee interrogates Agent One.

"Alert Status"

To: All watch personnel
From: Major Jurgen
Subject: Alert Status

As you are all aware, the SS Paranormal Division has had tremendous success in their recent archeological efforts near the village. However, Oberst Helga von Bulow is extremely displeased with the level of security at Castle Wolfenstein and the village near the excavation sites. I cannot stress how important this operation is to the Reich.

Two spies were recently discovered attempting to infiltrate the castle. With this in mind I caution you; any breaches in security determined to be caused by watch personnel will be dealt with in the harshest manner possible.

Regards,
Major Wilhelm Jurgen
Security Officer, Castle Wolfenstein

The clipboard lies on the wall next to a guard reading a billboard.

This document is found soon after the previous intel, in the same mission ("Escape!"). It is on the wall at the foot of a large staircase, near some idling Nazis.

"Excavation site"

To: SS Oberfuhrer Blavatsky
From: Oberst von Bulow

Completed preliminary survey of excavation site. Evidence strongly suggests Dark Knight entombment. Request immediate dispatch of extraction team. Will await your orders before proceeding further.

Regards,
Oberst Helga von Bulow, SS Paranormal Division

The letter lies on a table in the radio room.

This document is found in the radio room of Castle Keep.

"Reichsmarshall Directive 197"

To: Major Jurgen
From: Secretary Giereg

I wish to call your attention to Reichsmarshall Directive 197 which explicitly states that all art treasures, artifacts, and miscellaneous valuables, acquired during wartime, are to be turned over to the Minister of the Interior (Reichsmarshall Goering) for proper disposition. Be advised that any violation of this directive will be treated as a serious criminal offense.

Dieter Giereg,
Special Assistant to the Reichsmarshall,
Ministry of the Interior

"Hoarding"

To: Secretary Giereg
From: Major Jurgen

I am well aware of Reichsmarshall Directive 197, however I admit to being at a complete loss as to why you should consider it necessary to remind me of it. We have always been operating within full compliance of the law and all such items not deemed essential to the current project have been swiftly forwarded to the Reichsmarshall's office. Let me assure you that absolutely nothing has been withheld and that no hoarding of any kind has been taking place here.

Regards,
Major Wilhelm Jurgen
Security Officer, Castle Wolfenstein

"Tram car fatalities"

To: All Tram Car Maintenance Supervisors
From: Deputy Reichsminister Ungeschickt

A recent investigation into the causes of tram car fatalities has uncovered a typographical error in the Quarterly Cable Tension Adjustment Procedure. The following line, AN ALLOWABLE ERROR OF + OR - 500KG should now read AN ALLOWABLE ERROR OF + OR - 0.5KG. It is believed that this correction will lead to a significant improvement in the future safety record of all military tram cars.

Dark Secret

"Dark Knight tomb"

March 14, 1943

From: Professor Zemph
To: SS Oberfuhrer Marianna Blavatsky

Dear Madame Blavatsky,
All the early indications are positive. The talismanic seals and bindings are identical to those found in the Dark Knight tomb at Holstein. If I were to venture a guess at this juncture it would be that we have definitely uncovered number three. Finally, after all these years, we may be very close to concluding phase one.

Conditions here are far less than favorable. Already we have lost precious hours to technical mishaps. It's going to be difficult meeting our timetable while exercising necessary precautions. I will keep you informed as necessary.

Sincerely,
A. Zemph

"Tomb of Olaric"

To: SS Oberfuhrer Blavatsky
From: Oberst Von Bulow

I have incredible news. Our team has just uncovered evidence of an even older burial site within the church ruins. I believe this could actually be the Tomb of Olaric, fabled weaponsmith of Ancient Thule and founder of the Legion of the Dark Forge. If this is the case, then contained within may be the long lost Dagger of Warding, one of the most coveted relics in all of Thulian lore. What a glorious discovery this would be for all of us.

Regards,
Oberst Helga Von Bulow, SS Paranormal Division

Weapons of Vengeance

"V2 liquid fuel rocket motor"

To: Shipping and Receiving
From: Oberst Steiner


The replacement V2 liquid fuel rocket motor is expected to arrive shortly. It is essential for this shipment to be fully staged and delivered to Component Integration immediately upon receipt. Because of last Thursday's unfortunate incident, time is now extremely critical and delays will no longer be tolerated.

Oberst Walter Steiner
Commanding Officer, Reich Special Projects, NW District

"Radar Operations Safety Report"

To: All Radar Watch Commanders
From: Deputy Reichsminister Ungeschickt
Subj: Radar Operations Safety Report

An exhaustive study undertaken by the Ministry of Safety's Radiology Department has shown no correlation between moderate doses of microwave radiation and increased incidence of skin and blood disease. Also, all rumors attributing vomiting, diarrhea, and hair-loss to such exposures have proven to be completely unfounded.

It is the opinion of the ministry that current procedures in effect for radar operators are well within acceptable safety limits. We do not, at this time, recommend any changes.

Wolfgang Ungeschickt
Deputy Reichsminister, Office of Industrial Safety, Berlin

"Unauthorized use of equipment"

To: All Maintenance Personnel
From: Major Vorsichtig
Subject: Unauthorized use of equipment

Effective immediately, the practice of brewing coffee in the MkII Sequential Fuel Purifier is strictly forbidden. As anyone who witnessed the events of last Thursday can attest, the presence of even the slightest impurities within the condenser vessel can lead to a violent chemical reaction.

Anyone found in violation of this policy will be dealt with in the harshest manner imaginable.

Major B. Vorsichtig
Acting Safety Officer
Reich Special Projects, Maintenance Div.

"Ladder Safety Project Results"

To: All Area Commanders
From: Deputy Reichsminister Ungeschickt
Subject: Ladder Safety Project Results

I am pleased to announce that since the implementation of Reichsminister Directive 174 - the mandatory introduction of safety cages for all ladders residing on military installations - our survey has shown an astonishing 75% reduction in ladder related injuries and fatalities. I cannot begin to relate how important this statistic is in light of the current manpower shortage we are facing.

Let me caution all of you against lapsing into a false sense of complacency. Only through your unwavering diligence can this project achieve such a continued level of success.

Wolfgang Ungeschickt
Deputy Reichsminister, Office of Industrial Safety, Berlin

"Kobra Experimental Rocket Plane - Prelaunch Checklist"

Kobra Experimental Rocket Plane - Prelaunch Checklist:

The following procedure must be completed prior to initiating launch sequence. It is the responsibility of the Control Room Watch Commander to ensure these steps are performed without deviation.



1) Elevation - the Platform Operator will elevate the rocket to the fueling position.


2) Fueling - Upon completion of elevation, the Fueling Operator will initiate fueling.

3) Tower Clearance - Upon completion of fueling, the Launch Tower Operator will open the tower doors.




Only after verifying the successful completion of these steps will the Watch Commander - with proper authority - initiate a launch sequence.

"Backup Launch Tower Operator"

To: All Control Room Watch Commanders
From: Oberst Steiner
Subject: Backup Launch Tower Operator

Due to the failure of our maintenance department to successfully resolve the reliability issues, which continue to plague the Remote Tower Door Actuator, it will still be necessary to employ a Backup Launch Tower Operator during all launch operations.

To prevent a repeat of last weeks unfortunate incident, I am issuing the following standing order: The Backup Launch Tower Operator shall - at all times - carry a functioning communications set and shall not - under any circumstances - leave the vicinity of the Tower Door Manual Override. Hopefully, this situation will be corrected shortly and will not prove to be beyond the capabilities of our existing maintenance personnel.

"My Dear Willy"

To: SS-Oberfuhrer Wilhelm (Deathshead) Strasse
From: Reichsfuhrer SS Heinrich Himmler

My Dear Willy,
My compliments on the amazing work achieved by your Advanced "V" Weapons Division. Clearly, the success of this project has exceeded all expectations. Also, I've just read the latest test reports on the "Kobra" rocket plane. Suffice to say, I couldn't be more pleased with the results.

Unfortunately, I am not nearly as pleased with your performance on another project. Make no mistake; OPERATION RESURRECTION is currently the Reich's single most important undertaking. This is especially true following the Extraction Team's successfully recovery of the third Dark Knight. I expect no less than a maximum effort from you at all times. I sincerely hope it will never become necessary for me to remind you of this again.

Yours fondly
H. Himmler

"Report on V Weapon Readiness"

To: Reichsfuhrer SS Himmler
From: SS Oberfuhrer Strasse
Subj: Report on V Weapon Readiness

We have just completed the final testing of our Series III V Weapon. I am pleased to report that the A9 rocket has proven more than sufficient for the delivery of a biological payload to London. A shipment of the latest generation, mutated Bothrax D virus from my Germ Warfare Team in Norway is expected to arrive within four days. Steiner assures me of full operational readiness by no later than the second week of April.

Respectfully yours
SS Oberfuhrer Wilhelm Strasse,
Commanding Officer, Reich Special Projects

"Priority Shipment"

To: All Trainyard Loading Supervisors.
From: Leutnant Shosshund.
Subj: Priority Shipment.

A priority shipment of Swiss Chocolate is due to arrive on the 0900 supply train. This shipment is to be delivered, intact, to the SS Senior Officers' Mess. Extra guards will be detailed to prevent pilfering.

"Specimen waste materials"

To: All Specimen Caretakers
From: Hauptmann Shmutzig

The three cases of cholera reported in the outer guard compound have been, unequivocally, traced back to improper disposal of specimen waste materials. In future, anyone found dumping specimen waste in the local water supply will be severely reprimanded.

Hauptmann Vernor Shmutzig
Operations Officer, Reich Special Projects, Norway

"Rare opportunity"

To: SS-Oberfuhrer Wilhelm (Deathshead) Strasse
From: Reichsfuhrer SS Heinrich Himmler

Willy,
It saddens me to hear that you have declined the invitation from the Paranormal Division to attend the upcoming ceremony in Paderborn. You will be missing out on a rare opportunity to witness a momentous event. I had hoped this experience might provide you with new insight or, at the very least, cure your lingering skepticism. I see that, once again, I am to be disappointed.

I have always considered you one the most valuable contributors to the Reich. Were it not for your continued obstinacy in this area, there would be no limit to the support I would give you. I urge you to reconsider. It is not too late.

H. Himmler

Return Engagement

"Traffic"

To: All Watch Personnel
From: Shufstaffel H.Q.

Due to special conditions of security pertaining to the upcoming ceremony, absolutely no traffic is to be allowed in or out of the vicinity of the village of Paderborn for the next 24 hours.

By Order of
General von Stauff

"Radio communications"

To: All Watch Personnel
From: Shufstaffel H.Q.

Due to special conditions of security pertaining to the upcoming ceremony, absolutely no radio communications will be allowed in or out of the vicinity of the village of Paderborn for the next 24 hours.

By Order of
General von Stauff

"Doctor Merkwurdigliebe"

Doctor Merkwurdigliebe,

I am positively at my wit's end. The charm has worn off much sooner than you promised. I don't know what to do now. How can I go out in the daylight looking like this? Please, please call me as soon as you get in!

Ilsa

"The chosen few"

To: General Von Stauff
From: SS Oberfuhrer Blavatsky

My Dear General
I was overjoyed to hear that you were one of the chosen few. I can think of no one more deserving of that honor. On the other hand, I was totally dejected when I learned Burkhalter was also chosen. I know you think the world of him, but I absolutely detest him and his arrogance. Still I must give the devil his due. He has the talent and, for the purpose of maintaining the meta-psychic link, that is paramount. At least there will be one friend present whose support I can count on.

Marianna

"Meta-Psychic Controller"

To: General Burkhalter
From: Reichsfuhrer SS Heinrich Himmler

Congratulations on being selected as a Meta-Psychic Controller. It is a great honor but also a great responsibility. Only you and your colleagues, by exercising the necessary controls, can guarantee success and prevent utter chaos. I direct you to weigh the matter heavily. I also direct you to put aside any petty differences. I know your feelings about Madame Blavatsky; but understand that, despite your objections, she is in charge of the ceremony. She has my complete confidence and I expect you to obey her orders as you would my own.

Heinrich Himmler, Reichsfuhrer SS

"Recent catastrophic events"

To: General Haupfman
From: SS-Oberfuhrer Wilhelm Strasse

I'm sorry, old friend, but my decision not to attend the ceremony must stand. This is especially true in light of recent catastrophic events. I know you and I have never seen eye to eye on this subject, but that does not stop me from wishing you much success. They tell me you were chosen to help establish a "psychic control" over the situation. I'm not sure I fully understand what that means, but I'm relieved to hear that at least one rational mind will be present to maintain order.

Sincerely,
Wilhelm

"Thousand Year Reich"

To: Reichsfuhrer SS Heinrich Himmler
From: SS Oberfuhrer Blavatsky,
           High Priestess, Paranormal Division

My good friend and leader,
As I write you now I am filled with an indescribable mixture of joy and anticipation. Here it is, the day, almost the very hour of our greatest triumph. Destiny is now drawing us towards our appointment with the Anointed One, ushering us into a glorious new, Thousand Year Reich.

Do you remember the long years of our struggle? The times when only you and I remained steadfast? When only you and I would not be swayed from our purpose or our vision? Think of all the fools who scoffed at us. The cowards who ridiculed us behind our backs. To them I say - Let those laugh that win. I believe we shall both be laughing very soon.

Your Servant
Marianna

Operation Resurrection

There is no intel in Operation Resurrection.

Trivia

There is one letter from Deathshead to Heinrich Himmler that does not appear during gameplay but is recited aloud by Jack Stone:

”My Dear Reichsfuhrer SS,

As you are no doubt already aware, my X-Labs lie in complete ruin.

“Operation: Ubersoldat” my life’s work, is now a bitter memory.

I realize you still have faith in the ultimate success of “Operation: Resurrection”.

I wish I could share your confidence, but I feel you have been mislead by Individuals, whose mental competence must be called into question. I leave you now with a word of caution:

The Allies have sent a most determined and capable agent to disrupt your ceremony. Do not make

the mistake of underestimating him, as I did.

Yours faithfully,

SS Oberfuhrer Wilhelm Strasse”
