@@kanegarvey848 it do take the balls. Nazi symbol is heavily censored. Many history channel on youtube had to change the flag so it dont get demonetized.
German here. Here in German we started to be open about Nazi even though the signs and simbols of Swastika is still forbidden. Theres some politician whos trying to push for a new law to allow Neo-Nazi symphatizers to have "more freedom of speech", and its waiting to be reviewed by the goverment 👍👍
@@vrass775 Assume it takes place at the same time Hitler ragequit his life, The Gestapo HQ is probably ran out of interrogation expert already, so they just pick what's left of high command that looks creepy, assign them at interrogation block and said "Eh, close enough". But yeah, They would definitely have at least some tryhard expert left in the HQ in real scenario, and only case where they truely ran out of torture chamber and personnel in it is the HQ get stormed to shit.
There was a German interrogator in WWII who’s tactics actually included bring friendly towards the POW being questioned. He once let one fly a plane actually. He turned out to be the most successful interrogator of the war. After the war he taught interrogation tactics to police in America.
the best interrogator wasn't a sadistic person in fact he was the opposite of that hann scharff was his name and he never actually use torture. Instead he would just talk with them and be friendly and was often seen with the prisoner outside taking walks and see the sights. He use the feel of isolation for the prisoners need to talk to anyone outside of them and would tell him the info that he was order to find without even realizing. His interrogation was so successful that after the war he held classes in university for his methods
The British did the same thing with captured high-ranking nazis. They interned them within guarded and bugged country mansions, the nazis were allowed to relax and socialize amongst themselves but obviously could not leave. This sort of boredom and isolation, coupled with evening drinks, made them spill the beans amongst themselves as they debated with each other how their defeat came about, all the while the British intelligence were listening and recording every word. No torture needed, in fact quite the opposite.
also why did they have them in the same cell, wouldn't you want to leave them wondering if there team even made it, i mean there's no reason to believe the Nazis would be merciful, and clearly the higher up want information from them.
@@friedipar that is too sensitive for the tards here, they would rather pretend it didn't happen and ignore. Probably because they'd realize it was more then just the Germans doing the war crimes.
@@generals.patton546 War crimes...The entire thing was people killing each other and nuking everything. The French started the entire thing by invading a weakened Germany. They put Hitler in jail and act shocked that he retaliated. He is a better leader than Merkel, who was leader for a lot longer hence the true dictator.
@@sephen131 they would not have been transferred anywhere. 12 to 24 hour interrogation + torture exactly where they are, followed by a swift bullet to the head.
The cutscenes are actually amazing visually. The black guy Would have never of called the Nazi racist back in those days racism was just a thing black people would come across all the time he wouldn’t of called it out like that
The interogator is an insult to his job. Yeah, its a game, but there is no way they would have left the group together and would sent an interogator like this one in there. He is only there because of loyalty to the party. The Nazis would have had plenty of skilled interogators, which would use methods where you would pray to be killed instead of enduring them.
4:20 Why in this game a lieutenant is making orders for a captain? LEL And why one of them is in a gala uniform while doing his standard office job? Fantasy game.
Legit. I played through the whole story, thinking he survived and was planning to break them out. Just to find out he really died. I was actually bummed out, because I wanted to see his story, for why he was recruited to the team
@@ThisHandleIsInteresting he’s in it! he’s in a mission called ‘battle of el alamein’ the mission is pretty long so i hope it answers your question:) it’s pretty fun though
I'm actually surprised that they had racism in this game. I truly thought they'd have been too cowardly to go against their own liberal agenda and show how the Nazi's actually act.
That's how it was in the 1945 nazis believed the Aryan race was the most superior race in the world in the time so they're racist to everyone even blacks.
I'm sorry but if any enemy woman soldiers were caught alive they would be brutalised hence they as a former serving soldier I don't think they should be on the front line and I'm not being sexist it's a bad idea a liability in my opinion.
I agree it's literally 4 hrs long. Quite boring and the visuals are just deceiving. It's also same bullshit 'nazi is bad' 'nazis are baddie' 'all Germans are nazis'. Shit game.
Ivan? Ivan?! Guys, seriously? What nationality is that? Ivan is a russian male name, ok? How on earth did it happen to be a nationality? Or is Activision a bunch of rusophobes who are afraid to show Russian as decent ppl?
Its was more of a stereotype name for the soviets. Like "jerry" for germans and "tommy" for the brits. And by the time ivan was a very popular name in the ussr, they used it quite frequently.
So, why not the US army torture scenes ... or that of the Russians or the Chinese, why do you focus ONLY on the NS Gestapo scenes. Is it cause the Gestapo had nifty outfits ...?
They didn't even get Freisinger's armband right. They gave him a party armband and not a SS armband. This whole situation is stupid, like why would you bring each one in individually? They already told you who the CO was, he should know everything. Threaten to torture and kill all the other members if Kingsley doesn't tell you what you want.
@@ubc1454 History of the all-black 92nd Infantry Division - our worst WWII unit that kept getting routed by inferior forces even at the very end of the war & even when facing opponents who made just limited attacks. The 92nd had three attached armour battalions, while the Monterosa division were alpine light infantry with no mechanized units. During the general operation (Winter Storm) the Italians and Germans had no armour at all while the Americans had a 2:1 numerical advantage.
Maybe people should accept that todays videogames are just cheap moneygrabbing political history twisting power fantasies and take up something else in their free time.
Well they had to because the person writing this isn't worth a damn, asking them to produce actual intelligent cold calculating Nazis and work it in while elevating the mediocre parts they gave to the main cast so they won't be mediocre would be beyond them. Notice how they narrate through some scenes because the writer couldn't figure out how to convey information through events in the game without that writer's crutch. It's like someone watched quentin Tarantino's Inglorious bastards and made a crappier version of it.
@@sugarjumper45 Why do you like that though? Isn’t it more enjoyable to watch the protagonists overcome an actual threat. Rather than the usual evil moustache twirling villains.
Sledgehammer thinks all Nazis were evil. Unlike Treyarch where they showed nazi soldiers surrendering and begging in waw and bo1. Waw has a way better campaign than vanguard and ww2 combined. The intro sequence and loading scenes (showing Hitler’s speeches and showcasing Allie’s and axis plans), cutscenes, chaos, and characters in waw are way better
Everything about this frustrates me. The sole interrogator, the unit not being split up into separate cells, the Germans being incredibly clueless and not the coldly calculating interrogators they actually were.
@@IsaiahRichards692 just being racist for political reason, Nazi germany hate black less than jew and few other. They even had some black unit in Africa through not being hold on high reguard. Record show that black POW were treated not as bad if not the same as white POW, some suggest German tread them better than American did. So the Nazi being racist only serve to virtual signal for BLM movement recently
@@longdoan7535 What about the Nazi German Indian Unit, which was promised German support of Indian Independence from the British? They also had units made up of Spanish Fascists, Finnish Anti-Communist fighters, and even units of American Isolationists!
So this story is just a sort of alternate weaker version of Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards? More death and meaning behind it for it to be interesting enough to play through. It has so much narration to keep the plot going for the audience its grating, it's like reading a script instead of playing the game.
Every triple A WW2 game nowadays has to have some Inglourious Basterds style alternative history because they're too scared to get cancelled, because history apparently isn't allowed. Because of this, I didn't expect anything from the campaign. It's still a shame though, considering how good MW2019's and especially Cold War's campaigns were. I guess the days of good WW2 stories in video games are over, thanks to pink haired screechers.
@@wilhufftarkin8543 the call of duty games are all on one timeline now, so trying to have everything be historically accurate is impossible especially because this game connects with at least the Zombies universe as well, where there was a German general with the ability to raise the dead and where the Russians were opening dimensional rifts to the dark aether at the time.
@@dweebie Man i'm starting to think Call of Duty is just Wolfenstein in an alternate dimension or something. Wouldn't surprise me if they announced a crossover dlc starring BJ Blazkowicz and Doomguy.
@@Theosake Oh nvm then we disagree this game barely has any comparable meaning that Hans Landa brings in any of his scenes. Plus I kinda wanna play instead of watch so this fails as a game half the time because the people working on it are half baked diversity hires i've found out. But anyway have fun playing don't let me stop you.
What about the part where he says “Men like me married your women”? Buddy, if a German woman walked within ten feet of a French soldier during the Ruhr Valley Occupation, that woman was getting a rifle butt to the mouth, no questions asked!

Finally someone who actually has brain cells in this comment section, all I see are basic excuses for covering up one’s own nation’s act. Like a loyal little bootlicker that they are.
Fun Fact: Jesse Owens was treated good in Germany because the Nazis wanted to look good in front of the US. They see the americans as potential allies.
@@perisaizidanehanapi7931 Historical fact. Nope. America at that time was more racist than 3rd Reich. Read about Owens treatment and take a note who writes history (winners) and adjust that. USA was terrible country to live in at that time for the ppl of colour.
@@gabrielaristoi7451 I don't deny that it was a terrible time for minorities in the US. However, black people in the US are subjected to segregation, while in Nazi Germany they risk "racial sterilization" and deportation.
If I had a nickel for every time I have been bound to ropes while being interrogated next to the water in Axis controlled territory I would have 2 nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice
Yep, segregation was a hell of a thing. The US, in particular, prevented black soldiers from fighting along white soldiers, which is why there were many US Army divisions solely consisting of black people
Honestly a lot pf REALLY good ways they could work with that imo, it could be a really goos story of a Soilder fighting for his country but turning more into an Ally or something darker
@@kobrax0341 it could remain in the Axis, it would be too much cliché I would like to play with the Italians in Africa or in Italy (RSI) against the Allied invasion. Or like a Finnish campaign... or a German, Japanese, Romanian. Something cool ye know? Even a Chinese campaign could be cool. For the Germans we could play as a soldier of the foreigner legions that fought in Russia or even in other places.
the uniforms in this were pretty accurate, they have policemen as the guards in the prison segments, the ranks are correct on the uniforms, most of the medals are correct.
the ranks are correct??? are u okay? the interrogator literally have a shutze rank… hes an officer with a private rank. also the coat in the first scene is incorrect. a ss member in 1945 with a brown sa shirt… cmon this is extremely unrealistic they all have high boots when low boots were standard issue in 1945 i can go on forever
The story and the setting is on the edge of immersing me in it entirely but you get a strong feeling that this is all made as a social messaging about racism and diversity in a setting like WW2 and its not even about racism against the jews, its the typical amercian story of racism against blacks. So ridiculous. Edit: more i watch the cringier it gets. Polina's scene is so fucking forced hahahah its comedy!
9:53 another CoD's mistake that probably is less guilty for Sledgehammer to got wrong: SS don't call each other "Herr something". It's a strictly Wehrmacht way to address others. Otto Carius mentioned in his autobiography that he once got scolded hard when he had to deal with a SS field HQ.
good catch there. I was wondering the same when the Freisinger character said Herr Richter. Wehrmacht had a Prussian aristocractic tradition inherited from the Heer, while the SS followed titular distinction.
Gotta love the stereotypical bond bad guy you see from the nazies. Just makes them less intimidating. Plus why is the Sturmführer barking orders at the Haubtsturmführer? And the black uniform with the swastika armband was phased out by 1941.
I generally feel bad for Richter. Yeah sure, he is a "bad" guy, but in the end, he just wanted to live. You can tell by the constant fear in his eyes and his slow movements.
@@stu7846 and like our country Philippines. alot of filipinos apologize for what Ferdinand Marcos did. killed thousands of people, corrupt and stole money, dictator for 26yrs and still, the younger audiences admire that mf
@@stu7846 And there's even more communist sympathizers too. So we got a lot of people that like two of the most bloodthirsty ideologies in world history.
What puzzles me is they have the swastika in some places but not in the others, like in the eagle wreath and several badges where there should be the swastika, instead they have crosses. As far as uniforms go, I can write a whole article about what I've seen in the game, but no game ever gets uniforms right, though some more than others.
@@flyingtanks9313 Yeah, he's supposed to be a big cheese yet his tabs are of an Untersturmfuhrer, plus he's in the black pre war SS uniform but everyone makes this mistake cos it looks awesome. They got Richter's tabs right but not the shoulder boats, Kingsley said no combat medals but I'm pretty sure that's an Iron Cross ribbon in his tunic. The Russians in Stalingrad are wearing shoulder boards which weren't introduced until 43 to everyone's suprise because of it's association with the Tsarist era
This crew was assembled like a heist crew not a special force team why they didnt include soliders from outfits like a 2nd rangers or no 2 commandos or OSS and SAS
When the higher ranking SS officer calls his subordinate 'Sir' and is told to report directly to him. Man... the inaccuracy of CoD WW2 games is amazing now. WaW was still better, even after all these years.
I know this is supposed to be serious scenes, but I got the feeling of a comedy skit from all of these. Like the intterogator are losing his shit while the one being interogated are messing around with him the whole time. I don't know whether they done this intentionally or not, but it is kind of funny
That's one of my criticisms of the campaign; the Nazis weren't portrayed as menacing/intelligent enough, unlike Col. Hans Landa in 'Inglorious Basterds' for example.
@@KianoUyMOOP because most Nazis aren't Hans Landa. Most were dipshits and history shows that. People really hype up the Nazis without knowing the behind the scenes shit that was going on.
@@commiechild4951 That's an incredibly dangerous thing thing to say. Never downplay evil, it doesn't help people. I see a lot of people do it to Communists too. Calling them all idiots. Doing something like that implies that the deaths under either were not intentional. The National Socialists, especially those serving in the SS before recruitment standards became basically nonexistent, were some of the highest caliber Humans the species could produce. We're talking top percentiles in not just physical, but mental areas as well. It's nice and all to pretend evil only comes from stupidity, and that smart men can't ever be evil. But the reality is often the opposite. The Germans suffered from a massive number of issues during the war, intelligence was not one of them.
@@commiechild4951 you actually don't know what you're talkin about man the idea that anybody actually knows what happened in World War II is totally ridiculous history books are modern-day propaganda
@@attackmaster519 The SS is overblown and only has some few key points in it's entire life span which could be seen as "elite" in a military matter. Early on the SS was shit and only till the Greece and Yugoslavia invasions would we see the elite SS most people think about. But don't forget that the SS's capabilities were short lived and most of their existence was a mixed bag of good performance with very average and poor performance compared to the heer. The Germans were talented I'll give them that but it's naive to act like they weren't dumb as well. The amount of flaws in their tactics and planning is laughable. They believed in genetic theories that involved spirits and long forgotten races of giants to push the idea that Aryans were an actual superior race. At the end of the day the Nazis were nothing more than a tyrannical force that believed in crazy shit that sadly cost millions of lives because of it.
It's pretty unrealistic that a "SS-Untersturmführer" (lieutenant) with a "SS-Sturmmann" (private) arm badge had the power to interrogate other soldiers.
Never thought I'd say this but, it's kinda insulting thinking that the Germans in the 1940's were one note racist ponies. Even to deaths head and the SS elite placed intel and facts over emotion and random racism.
@@Bruh-rq4un plot twist, maybe he wasn't racist and just acted like it so he could get on Arthur's nerves in hopes his frustration would make him slip some information by mistake.
He is, tho. He's a callous interrogator who has absolutely no qualms about harming others outside of his own skin. He is still a Nazi of his own volition, the choice to go along with white supremacy enshrined by Nazis his own. It's only now that it involves having to save his own skin because the system is finally reaching its logical endpoint, with those in charge breathing down your necks to execute you the moment you get out of line for even a second. He may not be the worst guy here, but he's still a bad guy.

@Johann Bautista Heinz Guderian who helped create Blitzkrieg tactics and Karl Dönitz of the Kriegsmarine famous for U-Boat operations are also notable people in WW2 Germany
While Rommel was a good general he was overrated, mainly by Guderian post war and Goebbels propaganda. He was a good tactician, sure, but strategist? The strategy was done much better by figures like Eisenhower, Zukhov, Konev and Harold Alexander
@Johann Bautista Yeah, Guderian did a lot to belittle Soviet general staff and make the German general staff and Wehrmacht look like they were far stronger, had more capabilities and were cleaner, and this was emphasized by Western Allies that needed to give the Germans a good light when they formed the Bundeswehr
Did the Germans have their own derogatory racial term for black people? Like the N-word? Back then ‘Negro’ was just a neutral term for a black person, the person in question didn’t have to be racist to call someone a negro.
@@Yerrrr7899 This is true. The Nazis actually used propaganda about American segregation and slavery as a commentary on how unjust the USA was. They even used images of sepoys being executed as propaganda against British imperialism. Every cruel regime has a tendency to see the cruelty of enemy nations in 20/20 vision.
