Is Wolfenstein Historically Accurate? 

Happy 10th anniversary to Wolfenstein: The New Order! What was your first Wolfenstein game? This subject matter is naturally a little contentious for RU-vid's standards so I wanted to extend an extra special thanks to my supporters on Patreon for helping to make this content possible! I'll be discussing a bit about my process of making this video (and getting around RU-vid's moderation detection) in my "director's" commentary, and more in this month's Patreon-exclusive podcast.

if we're getting into alternate futures, a "Is Fallout historically accurate" video is inevitable.

How historically accurate is The History Channel at 3 am??

I know you're talking about the reboot but it would've been funny seeing a video explaining the historical accuracy of a mega robo-Hitler

ngl i was expecting the opening line to be something like "Of course not, BUT -"

I'm gonna go with a slight hunch and say it's not the most realistic, but just because I've never seen nazi robot dogs, doesn't mean they don't exist.

The bell is in the game, in the Area 52 bunker a massive structure the shape of the bell is used to refuel flying saucers

this style of video about L.A. Noir would be great

My favorite photo you used in this excellent featurette is the one at 5:45. The look of "WTF is he thinking?" on the guy middle right with the mustache and black suit, as well as the other man to his left in the middle of frame is priceless.

Next: How History Accruate is Black Ops?

You know what always got me about this timeline? How did the US not beat the Germans to the A bomb? The Nazis in the game only got the bomb in 1948, even with all the tech boost they got here. America would have still gotten the A-bomb in 1945 just like IRL, and it’s never explained why they didn’t in game.

Hey I'm the guy who asked for this on one of the red dead vids, I am sick as a dog and hanging on by a thread and this is exactly the kind of semi-engaging fun fact-ery that I need today

Pixels: "Liverpool suffered heavy bumming..." Me: "'Scuse me?"

Really loving you doing these series for other games too!

Imagine a Noir game where Nazis won,its 1950s and you are a Nazi detective in USA looking for resistance fighters.

As a New Zealander I can't help but be curious on what life would've been like under Japanese rule i know it wasn't pleasant considering that the Japanese was so much worse than the Nazis

Banger video, hope the alghoritm bless you my man! I loved it.

Phenomenal work as usual.

1:30 Hitler would have never had to invade Spain since Franco's regime at the time was basically allied or at least politically aligned with Germany and Italy

I’m so fucking happy you made this when I heard your voice I got giddy

Always enjoy your non red dead videos a ton!

I was actually waiting for @TheFrosty_1 to release an in-depth historical inaccuracies video on Wolfenstein: The Old Blood; but then I stumbled across this channel. Good job, it’s very informative!

Playing wolfenstein the New Order is a complete power fantasy and i live for it.

omg great timing. Just picked up New Order!

Let's get this guy to 100k!

Great video

My favorite channel on youtube.

I'm up for a series!

Hey, I was wondering if could continue the Red Dead Redemption History series by also going through the historical accuracy of the first game too. Both games of course compliment each other in many ways and I feel the series wouldn't be complete without looking into both games.

Correction: Japan surrendered irl after the Soviets declared war on them, meaning a third front was opened in the north. The atomic bombs... well they were definitely a factor, but not as big as is often made out in textbooks. The firebombing that Japan had been under for years beforehand did far more damage and took far more lives.

Now this for The New Order: Last Days of Europe pls

Do you plan on doing more of these on wolfenstein/making it into a series?

Yay, another Red Dead Redemption 2 video. Oh... yay a Wolfenstein video.

I’d like to take a moment to salute the brave moderator of this comments section

I read the title and it just baffles me that some people really don't believe all this happened.

The Man In The High Castle is also a theory about this.

There's a theory that the war turned in 1943 when they developed AR's & jets a year ahead compared to our timeline

Listen, this is getting stupid You're directly watching my everymove As I just finished RDR2 you made your first RDR2 Video Now, I literally just completed Wolfenstien And you instantly make a video?! Istg if you make a Fallout video any time soon Jokes aside, you make amazing content One of my favourite channels on this platform!

Zoomer historian won’t like the opening monologue on Nazi Germany 😭😭

Thats like asking if Order #27 is historically accurate

The only accurate Wolfenstein game would be Return to Castle Wolfenstein

0:55 Hey it's that goofy ass map from the game R.U.S.E..

Please make how historically accurate is rdr1

Make a is gta 4 accurate in terms of nyc and 2008 but sick vid bro

I actually laughed when I saw the title of this video 😂

Im genuinely confused when people say WW2 started in 1939 Japan and China were slugging it out for 2 years at that point

The last time I was this early, I had to stay in the NICU for a week

1:45 ngl still better than british and french considered us

How historically accurate is GTA 4

Personally, I would've preferred Germany to get their super tech from time travel or something, rather than some secret cabal working in the shadows.

Do you mean 131,000 tonnes displacement? 5:56

Yes.

8:10 imagine the nazis build a time machine just to still loose the war LMAO

The answer is no. There is no realistic timeline where the Axis actually wins.

yes

That question is ironic isn't it :v ?

Will wait for is cyberpunk accurate

House of the rising sun

I would say it’s not

ok, i have to comment on ''the germans could have won'' which isnt true and im making this to inform people that might read the comments lol. By any means, the only reason why german could even have taken france is wise luck and allies ignoring reports, the only reason why they got so far in the USSR was because of how unprepared the Soviets where. The moment they got there indutry going, it was over for the nazi's. Hell i dont even think they could have won with the wonder tech in wolf, there production method was far behind the allies and the nazi's had issues getting rare resources because they had no acces to them and beside that the nazi millitary system was so broken. No branch really wanted to communicate with eachother, there where many times where the right hand didnt knew what the left hand was doing. Japan also had no change to win over the US navy thanks to there american industry, they build 15 carriers in 1943, bloody 15! It was just impossible for the facists to win with just the lack of resourches and the bombing they had non stop. WW2 was a war of production and there was just no way for japan to win the war.

No, no it really isnt, ima put this simply since im on mobile, but even if germany was able to successfully reverse engineer the unrealistic space hebrew technology, it wouldnt be able to sufficiently produce and equip its army enough to win the war, the wermacht at its height couldnt afford to replace all its horse carriages with fucking actual trucks just as a minor example.

No but if it was….

Wolfenstein is completly and utterly unhistorical, the germans wouldnt have had the recourses to beat the soviets, the americans and the british. Neither did they have the tchnolohical advantage, which in most important fields, the allies had. Still a interesting video.

no

no what the fuck

The machines def aren’t bc they’re bulky and ugly af… looking akin to Warhammer… even MAYBE Doom… but one can blame that on the Germans copying / reverse engineering their tech from that old Jewish/Alien tech (Da’Yuch’Cha?!)…

Is [insert video game based on fiction] historically accurate? Well by definition a game can not be, as you have the opportunity to change history with decisions. Duh!

Most definitely not

:)

I tought this was gonne be an intresting vid on the deep lore of wolfenstein instead it's just bethesda crap

If you need to make a video on if Wolfenstein is historically accurate, maybe you shouldn't be playing Wolfenstein.

Why is this 13 minutes long

Did we really need a 13-minute video to explain to us that Wolfenstein didn't happen historically? Idk man, last time i checked, America wasn't under Nazi control, so...

Wolfenstein is just trying to pull shit out of its ass to justify a poorly thought out setting

7:04 I'd be more careful with that framing of the sequence of events. Nuclear bombs --> surrender. It almost feels like the justifications you hear for killing civillians with nuclear weapons. Historians argue that Japan was already surrendering and THEN the bombs were dropped by the U.S. government. For various unethical reasons, including testing out the nuclear arms technology on a populated territory and making a show of force to the entire world. I love your videos. I would just recommend to not limit yourself to U.S. sources only, because that opens you up to be propagandised by a government. And try not to be "apolitical" when it comes to heavily political subjects like these. Recommended video. Shaun - Dropping the Bomb: Hiroshima & Nagasaki So is Wolfenstein historically accurate or nah bro?!
