Heinrich Himmler wanted Germans to bang in graveyards. It only gets weirder from there.

Wolfenstein: The New Order understands how weird Nazis are. It coats itself in a science-fiction aesthetic and puts The Weird Reich at the centre of its world, writing and killing. This video will explore The New Order as a game but also break down its real-world inspirations and philosophies.

Content Warning: Explicit descriptions of concentration camps, the holocaust, and racism, specifically antisemitism.
