* AlternateHistory: Not only has WorldWarII lasted at least one year longer, but the Nazis have won. This is emphasized by famous historical and cultural images being Nazified, such as TheBeatles' iconic Abbey Road crossing photo being performed by German soldiers.

* ShownTheirWork: Frau Engel is a head figure of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/League_of_German_Girls Bund Deutscher Mädel (League of German Girls)]], which was an actual Nazi female youth movement in RealLife. Also, Frau Engel also ran a concentration camp with an iron fist, a reference to how many German women [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_guards_in_Nazi_concentration_camps helped participate in the Holocaust]].

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Frau Engel, a leading female Nazi figure and probably the main antagonist of this game, manage to hold political and military power within the Nazi party and establish herself as a lead figure of a female Nazi youth movement due to her dedication to the Nazi cause. It is impossible for a woman to hold political or military power within the Nazi society because the Nazis were known to be misogynist and completely limit [[StayInTheKitchen the woman's role as a housewife]].

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Frau Engel, a leading female Nazi figure and probably the main antagonist of this game, manage to hold political and military power within the Nazi party and establish herself as a lead figure of a female Nazi youth movement called Bund Deutscher Mädel (League of German Girls). While such organization ''does'' exist in RealLife (see TheOtherWiki's [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/League_of_German_Girls article]]), it is impossible for a woman to hold political or military power within the Nazi society as the Nazis were known to be misogynist and completely limit [[StayInTheKitchen the woman's role as a housewife]]. However, there have been German women [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_guards_in_Nazi_concentration_camps who helped participate in the Holocaust]].

While such organization ''does'' exist in RealLife (see TheOtherWiki's [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/League_of_German_Girls article]]), it is highly unlikely for a woman to hold political or military power within the Nazi society as the Nazis were known to be misogynist and completely limit [[StayInTheKitchen the woman's as a housewife]].

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Near the end of the E3 reveal trailer, there is an elderly female Nazi military officer (presumably the main antagonist) laughing. Unless if the Nazis have some change of heart in women's rights over the last 14 years after taking over the world, the Nazis were historically to be known to be very misogynistic and [[StayInTheKitchen limited women to household duties]].

* SuicideAttack: In a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukbGTDsbs9U gameplay preview]], one of your allies do this with a car bomb to blow a path open for B.J.

* MasterRace: [[CaptainObvious Duh]]. In fact, BJ is actually forced to take a "purity" test by a couple of officers.

It is 1946 and WorldWarII [[AlternateHistory still rages on]]. B. J. Blazkowicz falls into a coma and wakes up in 1960, finding that the worst has happened: the Nazis have won the war and now rule the world with [[StupidJetpackHitler incredibly advanced technology]]. Blazkowicz joins LaResistance in an attempt to make things right...but how can he win a war that's already been lost?

* GunsAkimbo

* StupidJetpackHitler: The Nazis have access to HumongousMecha, developed the atomic bomb before the Allies and have landed on the Moon.

* BFG: A lot of the guns are designed this way, like this [[http://cdn.gamerant.com/wp-content/uploads/Wolfenstein-The-New-Order-Screenshots-Nazi-Weapons.jpg baby]].
* GasmaskMooks: As seen[[http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2013/05/wolfensteinreboot530.jpg here]], [[http://s3.gamefreaks.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Wolfenstein-21.jpg here]] and [[http://www.technobuffalo.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Wolfenstein-The-New-Order-11.jpg here]].

* GenreThrowback: For Old School FPS's, with things ranging from big levels to health packs to multiple weapon pick ups, though there is a bit of New School thrown in, like semi-regenerating health and a "cinematic" focus on the story

* RevisitingTheRoots: While there is RegeneratingHealth, scrounging for medpacks and armor will return. Also, B.J's new model is based on the original ''Wolfenstein3d'' [[http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/2686195/blazkowicz_wolfenstein_3D_TNO.jpg sprite]].

Awesome alt-history stuff in that trailer. The [[spoiler:Abbey Road Nazis]] made me laugh.
