"Ackermann: Kommandant Adler, listen to me carefully you preposterous imbecile. I ordered you to station more men in section 4, so where are they?"

"Adler: I have reports saying sections 4, 5 and 6 are completely empty!"

"Ackermann: Are you willfully disobeying my orders!? Do your job - the Fuhrer demands total military presence throughout every section, and by God he shall have it!"

Biography

Before 1961

Ackermann was a renowned soldier, known for his bravery and valor during an insurgent uprising in San Francisco in 1952. In 1958, he was responsible for suppressing riots in Pasadena, where he risked his own personal safety in order to secure victory for the German forces. He was responsible for the deaths of twenty-seven "terrorists", along with the capture of fourteen more.

Assassination

"You never cease to impress, Blazkowicz. Pack it up and come on home. Grace out."

―B.J. upon Ackermann's death.

Ackermann was sent to the Confinement Wall District of New Orleans to establish a radiation-proof safe zone in the area after the atomic blast caused by the Kreisau Circle. According to the Kommandant Sauer's Note readable, the purpose of creating such a zone was so that Nazi forces could recover sensitive equipment and materials from unrestorable sectors while reinforcing their presence in the region. Ackermann quarantined a small section of the wall to be as radiation-proof as possible for use as his headquarters, where he could command his forces' recovery efforts. Despite this, he is low on manpower.

Ultimately, Ackermann is killed by B.J. after he breaches the wall yet again for the express purpose of assassinating the Übercommander and destabilizing the Nazi chain of command in the United States.

Personality

Otto Ackermann has more character development than most Ubercommanders. Based on a radio conversation Ackermann gives to one of his officers on the other end, he is a ruthless, strict commander with low tolerance for mistakes. He is also highly loyal to the Third Reich. Based on the aforementioned conversation, he reports directly to Adolf Hitler.

Trivia

• Despite the rest of his men wearing hazmat suits, Ackermann wears his normal uniform with his face uncovered. This is due to Ackermann residing in a room which is supposedly cleaned of radiation, allowing him to forego such protection.
• He is one of the few Übercommanders whose face is visible.
