The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland was a country in northwestern Europe, comprising of the regions of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. They were one of the countries fighting against the Nazis, ultimately losing in the war to the Nazis due to the advanced technology they possessed, forcing the country to surrender by mid-1948. In the aftermath of the war, the country was incorporated into the Greater Germanic Reich as "Reichsgae Britannien". Fergus Reid, Blazkowicz's right-hand man, hails from the lowlands of Scotland, while Bobby Bram, a member of the Kreisau Circle, came from England.
Wolfenstein: The Old Blood[]
British and American forces attempted to land on the beaches of Normandy in the year of 1944, which ended in a failure due to the advanced German technological advancements on the Atlantic Wall. Around 150,000 Allied soldiers died while 89 Germans were killed as a result, which placed a strain on the alliance between the British and the Americans. The "Normandy Defense Museum", which was dedicated to the failed landings on Normandy, was built by prisoners of war, with British prisoners of war presumably being involved in the construction, alongside American soldiers.[1] Another blow was dealt to the Brits in the Battle over Liverpool, in which the Royal Air Force suffered heavy losses when it confronted the Germans. Although both sides suffered equal losses, the Royal Air Force was forced to retreat after losing a third of their fighters.[2]
With the tides of the war now turning in favor for the Germans, the Office of Secret Actions sent B.J. Blazkowicz and Richard Wesley from Wales on a mission to infiltrate Castle Wolfenstein to retrieve a folder containing the location of Deathshead's Compound from Helga Von Schabbs. The OSA also sends another agent named Pippa Shepperd to the region. However, their mission goes wrong, which resulted in the deaths of Wesley and Pippa, but in the end Blazkowicz had retrieved the folder.
Wolfenstein: The New Order[]
After the events of Wolfenstein: The Old Blood and the discovery of Deathshead's Compound in the Baltic Sea, a contingent of Allied soldiers, under the command of the OSA, launched an all out desperate assault on Deathshead's compound as a last ditch effort to nullify the German Wehrmacht's technological advantage, by destroying Deathshead's compound and eliminating him, essentially decapitating the German war effort. The raiding parties landed on the shores of the base, only to be immediately shredded by Panzerhunds and other advanced arsenals on the shores. As a result, the mission ended in total failure, as the remaining Allied soldiers were either captured or killed in the process.
The Germans soon dealt another fatal blow to the Brits in the year of 1947, when the first German soldiers landed for the first time on Canadian soil, and dealt a final blow in 1948, when the Germans landed on British soil in an offensive led by Field Marshal Gerolf Feigenbaum, leading to the fall of London as the flag of Nazi Germany flew over Buckingham Palace. The British government capitulated, and soldiers soon laid down their arms to the Germans. The entirety of the British Commonwealth soon fell under the hands of the Germans, and most of the British Isles came under German occupation.
Despite Britain's capitulation in 1947 and the end of the war years later, it was not long until fierce resistance began to sprung up all across the British Isles, and in 1951, London became the epicenter of a bloodbath known as the August Uprising, where British resistance fought against the German occupation, having managed to gain significant progress until the Germans introduced a monstrous machine known as the London Monitor, which brutally suppressed the uprising as it crushed resistance fighters as combat units then proceeded to move block by block, systematically taking out resistance in London. In the aftermath, most of downtown London was demolished, and in its place, the London Nautica was constructed, which became a top Nazi research facility which was involved in aviation and robotics. Parts of London became part of the "quarantine blocks", which are presumably ghettos similar to that of those set up in occupied Europe such as the Warsaw Ghetto. These London quarantine blocks were notoriously known for being unsafe, up until 1960.[3]
Dorset, now known in the Reich as the "Jurassic Coast", a region in the south of England, made headlines on newspapers when it became the site of an archeological dig which revealed a fossil of new species of marine reptile, which became the focus point of the Reich's scientific community. [4]
New labor regulations were suggested before October 1960, with representatives of the coalminers announcing that they were "very pleased" with the new regulations. Reichstanhalter Neumann stated that the new regulations would ensure good working conditions while increasing the overall productivity of coal mining in the region, with miners from Birmingham confirming their satisfaction with the new regulations.[5]
Following events which disturbed the stability of Britain under the German occupation, such as an attack on the London Nautica on October 16th 1960 by Bobby Bram and B.J. Blazkowicz, unrest in London began once again in the quarantine blocks, which led to riots which were soon violently suppressed by the London Monitor. Eventually, by November 1960, a second attack occurred in the London Nautica, which led to the deployment of the London Monitor and subsequently its destruction.
