In Wolfenstein 3D, the SS Nazi was a feared marksman whose high rate of fire, accuracy, and large hit point total forced the player to take care when fighting them especially at close range.

The SS Nazi has about a third of the firing rate of the Chaingunner, but does so in two-round bursts, since unlike Doom's former humans, it has two aiming sprites (depicting the Nazi stopping and leveling his gun, instead of directly snapping to aiming). This can only be seen in custom maps, as they don't appear together in any official levels. Therefore, the SS Nazis always appear to be facing and pointing their guns at the player when firing, no matter where their actual targets are, which can be confusing because the Nazis are just as likely to engage in infighting and killing each other as the former humans are.Īn Arch-vile can resurrect SS Nazis. (Bosses were even more extreme they always faced the player period, and so could not, for example, be attacked from behind.) Id Software's artists did not bother to make new attacking graphics for the other angles when they converted the SS Nazi's graphics to that of Doom. Wolfenstein 3D didn't feature multiplayer or monster infighting, hence, all their bad guys always faced the player when attacking.

On death, the Nazi drops a clip containing five bullets (or ten on the "I'm too young to die" and "Nightmare!" skill settings). After the Second American Revolution, the Nazis gradually lose control over Africa as their influence crumbles away in the world state, eventually liberating Africa of Nazi rule by 1980, as Abby states that the Nazis have just lost a large battle over the Gibraltar Strait, implying that not only has the Reich lost Africa but whoever is fighting them is on the verge of crossing from Africa into Spain.īombate, a member of the Kreisau Circle, is himself a former member of the African resistance hailing from Namibia, having led several attacks on the Nazis before his eventual capture and later liberation.The SS Nazi attacks by firing two bullets at a time in rapid succession, which are slightly less powerful than the player's bullet like the Heavy Weapon Dude, he fires repeatedly as long as his target is in sight. The destruction of the bridge likely delayed the Nazis' advance into Africa, ensuring the survival of the resistance forces there until the death of General Deathshead just days later, turning the tide of the conflict. Having acquired a device known as the Spindly Torque from the Da'at Yichud, Blazkowicz deployed the weapon against the bridge, destroying multiple spans and rendering it totally inaccessible to motorized traffic. In 1960, the Kreisau Circle in a daring assault led by William Blazkowicz attacked the Gibraltar Bridge in order to intercept a German train carrying intelligence critical to the resistance's war effort. While the African resistance remains actively engaged, they continue to lose ground as the Nazis impose their genocidal rule of law across the land. The bridge serves as the Nazis primary supply line to the African front, dedicated thousands of soldiers and supplies to reinforce their slow but steady advance across the continent.

By 1957, the Nazis had constructed the Gibraltar Bridge, spanning across the Gibraltar Strait as a direct route to Africa, at the cost of thousands of enslaved laborers. However, it is known that after World War II ended in victory for the Nazi regime in 1948, Africa is one of the last continents to fall under the death grip of Hitler and General Deathshead. Little of the situation in Africa is elaborated on in Wolfenstein: The New Order. Africa is a continent, and one of the last contested territories in a world dominated by the Greater German Empire.
