Bags of human flesh and Hitler on steroids: the real story of Wolfenstein (18+)



It would seem that the shooters Studio MachineGames very far from realism. Because Wolfenstein: The New Order and the sequel The New Colossus talk about an alternative 1960’s where the Nazi won the Second world war, conquered the Land and colonized the moon, and to deal with this mess — a handful of rebels led by Billy Blazkowicz. But the developers knowingly shoveled mountains of archival materials and documentary literature. Drop retrofuturism, dogs, robots and kitsch aesthetics — see eerie Parallels between game events and real history.

ATTENTION! THE ARTICLE CONTAINS MATERIAL NOT RECOMMENDED FOR IMPRESSIONABLE PEOPLE.

World Reich

The New Order depicts a grim picture of the new world order of the 60s: new York incinerated by a nuclear explosion, half of London was destroyed by bombing, Berlin built a giant concrete ziggurat. The authors gave vent to the boundless imagination? Not really. There are a lot of drawings, sketches and descriptions of the arrangement of the thousand — year Reich, the national socialists came to planning for the future with true German pedantry. Artists MachineGames have used these ideas.

Take the train that takes the Wolfenstein hero William “B. J.” Blazhkovicha in Berlin. Spacious and big cars? Yes, the führer really intended to ensnare Europe with a railway network with extra-wide track, which would have raced huge locomotives at a speed of 250 km/h. the Project Breitspurbahn was studied down to the last days of the war.

Berlin in The New Order appears a labyrinth of cyclopean buildings in the neoclassical style, broad avenues and wide highways. Exactly according to the plans of Adolf Hitler and his chief architect albert Speer, had to be reconstructed after the victory of the “world Capital Germania” (Welthauptstadt Germania). There’s also planned to construct a building with the largest dome in the history of mankind — “Hall of Nations” (Volkshalle), calculated on 180 thousand people.

“It was planned that the entertainment program “family Chronicles: an evening with Hans and Gels” will instill in the audience the great German values”

In light of this megalomania is clear, as the authors of Wolfenstein thought of huge robots: during the war, mustachioed leader dreamed of a massive weapon. For example, in June 1942, the führer had great hopes for super-heavy tank Ratte (“Rat”) and Monster (“Monster”). Weigh the ground of the fortress were, respectively, 1000 and 1500 tons. But on the drawings it has not moved, the German industry didn’t have the technology and equipment for production. But the art designers MachineGames doesn’t stop to rethink these concepts with the amendment to retrofuturism. Therefore, the London patrol combat the tripods the size of a nine-storey building.

Not sucked from the finger, and the reality show, which The New Colossus watching the inhabitants of the occupied States. Like in 1945, wanted to implement the propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, is paid much attention to the TV. It was plannedthat the entertainment program “family Chronicles: an evening with Hans and Gels” will instill in the audience the great German values.

Super-soldiers

Through the entire Wolfenstein series is the ideal warriors of the Reich. In The New Order B. J. confront a huge SS, clad in cybernetic armor. Hyperbole? Partly. Hans actually raved about the creation of “UberSoldier”. The first step towards this was the program Lebensborn (“Source of life”), in which a network of shelters for “training racially pure mothers and education Nordic offspring“. With 1942, these centers sent more than 50 thousand children from the occupied lands of Europe and the Soviet Union, and the parents withdrew the kids from one month to three years. Blue-eyed blondeswho received German names were adopted members of the family SS or rich people Deutschland (so, for example, happened with the Crimean Sasha Letovym). From children who qualified… to deliver.

Kidnapping kids project on breeding of super-soldiers is not limited to: was and pharmaceutical experiments. Wehrmacht troops received a special pills to — as mentioned in the advertisement of medicines of the German company Temmler — “a long time not to sleep and work continuously for two days in a row“. Stimulant, which probably would have approved of Walter white, produced in large quantities: only from April to June 1940 for the army has released 35 million pills.

“Test passed without rest to 100 km per day, but 24 hours later a fell dead”

In the last years of the Second world doping has become rampant, albeit contradicted the Nazi ideology, glorifying a healthy lifestyle. As the historian Norman Oler in the sensational bestseller “the Third Reich on drugs”, to spur the body with chemicals like many from privates to generals, from the Luftwaffe to the Kriegsmarine.

Remember beefy Hitler in Wolfenstein 3D, which Blazhkovich gave Hitler kaput? The real Adolf Schicklgruber, of course, rod did not compete, but did not disdain the testosterone injections to increase masculinity (judging from the diary of his personal doctor, Theodor Morell). Not to mention the invigorating powders that are all the same Morel prescribed under the guise of vitamins.

But not pills one. In 1944, launched a top-secret program for the development of the drug D-IX that turns ordinary soldiers into “living robots” — a tireless and fearless fighters. Hell of a cocktail of drugs and painkillers drugs were tested on inmates of the concentration camp Sachsenhausen. The prisoners marched in a circle with a 20-pound backpacks. Test subjects were held without rest to 100 km per day, but after 24 hours many were dead. Serial production of D-IX, by which the Reich had hoped to turn the tide of war, interrupting a series of victories of the allies in the summer of 1944.

The resurrection of the dead

Say Wolfenstein, mean — zombie-Nazis. Already in the 1992 action movie hero stuffed with lead – pale undead. Could not resist the temptation and the staff MachineGames, made Blakovich in addition to fight Old Blood with hordes of rotten Krauts. For scenario paranormalne hiding the terrible truth: the Nazis were really interested in borderline States between life and death. But related surveys were not with the occult and with fanatical medicine. The leadership of the German air force wanted to know how long I can hold out for downed pilots in the icy water and whether it is possible to revive them after belated rescue. To do this, the SS doctor Sigmund Rasher conducted experiments in the Dachau concentration camp in autumn 1942.

The prisoners, wearing the flight uniform of the Luftwaffe or completely naked, dipped in a VAT of water at a temperature of from 2 to 12 degrees. Some subjects were immersed to chest, the other on the neck. How impartially recorded by the doctor-the sadist in the report, death from hypothermia occurred in the interval from 53 to 100 minutes.

“In a grim twist of fate Rusher, killing hundreds of prisoners at Dachau, shortly landed in the dungeons of the same camp”

In another series of experiments Sigmund researched local frostbite, and burns. The victims were doused with ice water and kept for hours in the cold. Half-dead people Rushed tried to warm up, seeking recovery of the body. Applied not only hot baths and “Aryan herbal tea”, but the human warmth: that is, the warming of frostbitten female body.

Frau Lampshade

If Sigmund Rasher engaged in torture for medical purposes, Ilse Koch, served as the prototype of matron Irene Engel the shooter MachineGames, just reveled in the violence. The prisoners of Buchenwald were afraid not so much of the commandant, as his possessed wife. Smiling brunette loved, like Frau Engel, to walk through the camp with a whip and thrash everybody, and even incited the dogs on women and the elderly.

But worst of all was her passion for needlework. Owners of unusual tattoos killed to ILSA could make their leather handbags, gloves, lampshades and even Lacy lingerie. Therefore, prisoners with tattoos deliberately maimed himself, just would not become part of the collection “Frau Shade“. Marriage did not interfere with Mrs. Koch to be forced to reach prisoners and to turn the affair with a young SS. Something reminiscent, isn’t it?

“Owners of unusual tattoos killed to ILSA could make their leather handbags, gloves, lampshades and even lace underwear”

Chet Koch paid for the atrocities long before the death of the Fuhrer. In 1942, the spouses were tried on charges of misappropriation of public money, and “theunnecessary cruelty and moral degradation“. Greedy hubby shot where his hands have killed thousands of people. But “Buchenwald witch” managed to avoid arrest. The punishment of the most cruel woman of the Reich suffered only in 1951, having received a life sentence. In 1967,”Frau Shade” has killed himself, preferring the loop to shame. The image of the murderous commandant formed the basis of the film “ILSA, she-wolf of the SS”, creating the genre of Nazi exploitation.

Impossible escape

In The New Order Blazhkovich gets to the factory of death to Frau Engel, and after slaying one by one the guard organizes a mass escape. With gunfire and explosions. Sounds unbelievable? The story was not less striking case.

Сумки из человечины и Гитлер на стероидахConcentration camp Sobibor

In September 1943 at the Sobibor death camp, located in Poland, received a large group of Soviet prisoners of war for liquidation. But the SS did not consider that not in front of them defenseless civilians, and experienced soldiers, who know a lot about sabotage. One of the newcomers, the 34-year-old Lieutenant Alexander Aronovich Pechersky, was not going to submit to the Nazi machine of destruction. He went underground in Sobibor, which was headed by the son of the Rabbi of Warsaw, and shared his plan of rebellion.

“Three series of obstacles, double the patrols, machine gun towers and minefields. We knew that ahead is death. But it is better to die under the bullets, breaking the will than in the gas chamber,” recalled Tomasz Blat, party sobiborski uprising.

“Stabbing, strangling and killing 11 guards, four hundred people went on break”

The idea of the caves was struck by the audacity. Soldier offered to lure the armed guards in the corners of workshops and resolve quietly. Then followed to obtain the weapons, to de-energize the power station, cut the telephone wires and break in the forest to the partisans. The training took three weeks. Alexander and 60 more prisoners had to make knives and hatchets, sharpened shovel for cutting wire and even incapacitate armored vehicles and other equipment.

On 14 October 1943, the plan worked. Stabbing, strangling and killing 11 guards, four hundred people went on break. The siren wailed, the towers, the machine guns rattled. The rebels, having seized 11 pistols and 6 rifles, battled policemen and Fritz. The prisoners threw themselves on the barricades, crushing the bodies of the barbed wire, dying under bullets, exploding mines… but continued to run forward. Of the 600 prisoners in Sobibor will broke 300. About a hundred died. A week the Germans spent on the RAID. Many were caught and executed. Some disappeared without a trace. But the 47 participants of the rebellion lived to see the Victory. Among them was Alexander Pechersky.

A one-man army

American spy William Blazhkovich — the collective image, direct prototype he does not have (except for a curious consonance of the surname with a Nazi General Johannes Blaskowitz). But some overlaps with one desperate brave Second world war, of course.

Сумки из человечины и Гитлер на стероидахLeo major and William Blazhkovich

The first feat of the 23-year-old canadian Leo major made after the Normandy landings, eliminating four patrol SS and capturing an armored personnel carrier with valuable codes radio. In the heat of battle, Leo was hit by an incendiary grenade and was partially blind. He wanted to reserve, but the fearless hero said to the doctors that for precise aiming , one eye.

When the 1st canadian army liberated Belgium and the Netherlands, the average major again excelled: during spyware attacks single-handedly captured 93 Nazi. It had to capture the commander and kill three of his subordinates — and the garrison laid down their arms. Soon the major and his live prey spotted a squad of SS. Seen scene — “untermensch” with pirate eye patch, a guard of “true Aryans” — was so appalled by the SS that they began to shoot at the prisoners. The canadian was lucky to have arrived allies with the tank and helped to pacify the Nazis.

“One brave man managed to liberate the city with a population of 50 thousand people, replacing the whole regiment”

In the winter of 1945, Leo was driving the truck and hit a mine. Although the major damaged four ribs, broke her ankle and sprained her back, demobilization, he flatly refused. And barely heal wounds in a couple of months, went back to his colleagues. How can you not remember about Blazkowicz, who also was seriously injured, but continued to beat the Nazi vermin?

The most incredible feat major carried out in April 1945, when his regiment came to the Dutch town of Zwolle. A night RAID, the purpose of which was to assess the enemy disposition, he trusted Leo and his friend, Willie Arsenault. On the edge of Zwolle partner major struck a bullet of a German patrol. Then began what seemed to be imaginable only in a series of Wolfenstein, and Tarantino inglorious Basterds.

Psihanuv after his friend’s death, Leo destroyed the checkpoint staff seized the vehicle and forced the driver to take him to a bar where the foam sucked on the officer of the garrison. Intimidated Fritz that the canadian infantry will be included in Zwolle, Leo started to run through the night streets and terrorize the Germans. Wildly firing from two automatic machines and a grenade for me, he made some noise, simulating the advance of the allies. But at the same time blew up the buildings of the SS and the Gestapo, shooting guard. At dawn it became clear that occupants are in a panic left Zwolle.

One brave soul managed to liberate the city with a population of 50 thousand people, replacing the whole regiment. So tell me now that these exploits only superheroes like Blakovich.
