Kommandant Orlando Mannheimer is a minor antagonist in Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.

The New Colossus

Mannheimer is a commander on the Ausmerzer tasked with the security on board. He is the first commander shown in The New Colossus and is killed by B.J. shortly after he was contacted by General Engel over the comms system. In his short appearance, Mannheimer shows himself to be exceedingly by-the-book, clumsy, and rather idiotic, going through routine while the vessel is under attack, despite Engel's obvious urgency. Once he is told that the attack is being spearheaded by the escaped B.J. Blazkowicz, Mannheimer dwells over his belief that he was still in custody and, not being able to understand that B.J. is a one man army and is killing his men by himself, feels that it is an unnecessary to send the entire troops of the Ausmerzer to combat B.J. He also thinks it is ridiculous that B.J. can tank all Nazis on board all by himself. Engel is extremely frustrated with Mannheimer's lack of understanding and calls outright calls him an imbecile. He eventually agrees with her orders, yet still unable to grasp the severity of the situation and underestimating B.J., he still asks for permission to use the reserve troops.

If he is killed while still talking to Frau Engel she can be heard demanding Mannheimer to answer her but shortly realizes he's been killed by Terror Billy, before turning her radio off, simply saying “Scheisse!” as she does so.

Conversation with General Engel

"Send in the troops!"
"Ah, General Engel! Please confirm the number of enemy platoons on board the Ausmerzer. What is their current status and weaponry?"
"It's one man."
"...Excuse me, General?"
"Are you deaf, Commandant Mannheimer?! It is one man! Terror-Billy, the idiot American!"
"But... I thought we had him in custody, General?"
"He got away.
"Oh... I see, General... Hhhhow?"
"What does it matter? He is a trained killer! I guarantee he has obtained firearms by now. Possibly grenades too, how should I know?"
"Affirmative, General. And how many men does Terror-Billy lead in his raid?"
"God in Heaven, are you stupid, man?! He's not leading anybody! He is by himself!"
"But one single man, General... surely our security..."
"You are the security, you fucking imbecile!"
"Then we must send in our troops."
"That is what I've been saying! Call in everything you have! Shoot anything that moves! Kill, crush, destroy!
"Yes, General. My Super soldiers are powering up as we speak. Do I have your permission to call in the elite reserve as well?"
Send in everything you have! Terror-Billy is very dangerous. He singlehandedly took down the London Monitor! He is insane and unpredicable!"
"Yes, General."
"General Engel, out."
