* AnAesop: The [=MachineGames=] series spells out in big bold red letters that fascism and ''especially'' Nazism isn't just bad because it is totalitarian, but because it is a barbaric, destructive and deeply immoral ideology that inevitably delivers power into the hands of [[AxCrazy maniacs]] and beasts, and is seemingly specially designed to enable and promote the [[HumansAreBastards absolute worst aspects of the human species]]. Therefore, it must never be allowed to flourish.

* ArtifactTitle: The series is named after a place (Castle Wolfenstein) which appears in about half of the series (''Castle Wolfenstein'', ''Wolfenstein 3D'', ''Return to Castle Wolfenstein'' and ''Wolfenstein: The Old Blood''), and even then only for portions of most of them (first episode of ''[=Wolf3D=]'', first and last few levels of ''[=RtCW=]'', first half of ''The Old Blood'').

** This is how later games in the series seem to treat ''Wolfenstein 3D''. It's implied the events of ''[=Wolf3D=]'' sort of happened, but B.J. never killed Hitler (who still seems to be alive as of ''The New Order'' and does make an actual appearance in ''The New Colossus''; a note that can be found in ''The Old Blood'', however, suggests that BJ ''did'' kill Hitler, they simply [[ApocalypseHitler resurrected him afterwards]]).

Added DiffLines:

* GreaterScopeVillain: Obviously, UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler is the franchise's BigBad, but past his appearance as the FinalBoss of [=3-D=], the Führer is only mentioned as the more realistic plots call for him to be portrayed more accurately. He finally reappears again in [[spoiler:''The New Colossus'']] but even then he's just an extended cameo.
