* Set Roth is Jewish and religious yet he never covers his head. Of course he doesn't, it's become his habit not to advertise his faith in a world ruled by Nazis.

* In the timeline with Jimmy, he dies playing the National Anthem on a guitar with a wall full of very loud speakers behind him. The Nazi soldiers who burst into the room say it's "some kind of weapon" before gunning him down. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_machine_kills_fascists Presumably for killing fascists]].

** Even if the central government falls - and it hasn't, yet - the above cultural imperialism combined with the following years of peace will have (to some extent) normalized Nazi values for many civilians and conquered foreigners (imagine the mindset of the younger generation too young to really remember the horrors of WW2). Whoever replaces them is certainly going to be brutal, reactionary, and culturally shallow, because the world has ''already been remade'' in the Nazis' image.

** For further explanation of why it is one word: German as a language loves portmanteaus. For instance doppelhaus (duplex) is just double and house.




to:

** Does Shimshon (Samson for the Genteel) have any notable scars. I thought Set Roth just called him that because he was strong.
* As is appropriate of her {{Determinator}} status Anya, despite having a very good grasp of English, doesn't know the word for surrender.

*** Genocide seems to be relatively... well... missing from the reign of Deathshead and we could just be missing it, But that's when it dawns, Deathshead sees these people as resources only, what with [[spoiler: his plan of robot brains]] and such. Deathshead only sees these people as resources to be used, either as cogs in the machine or literal resources for his experiments, it's not genocide but it's no less horrible.
* Max is terrified and rendered helpless by the sound of B.J. using a circular saw close to him, but isn't fazed in the slightest by loud gunfire or helicopter rotas. Why does only the sound of the saw scare him and not loud noises in general? [[spoiler:Take a look at the damage to his skull, and think about what kind of object could have caused such a clean cut through it.]]

* Why does Caroline treat Anya at first like she wouldn't know how to use a typing machine or had difficulties in literary tasks? The Nazi New Order had no need for educated "sub-humans", which Poles were considered by the nazis.

* [[spoiler: With the [[GiantMecha London Monitor]] destroyed by B.J., said to be the only thing keeping the non-German citizens of London in line following the post-war riots, and the destruction of Deathhead's Compound that was the source of all Nazi robotic technology, what's stopping Londoners from rioting again?

* Before ''The New Order'', I never understood why Wilhelm Strasse's nickname, "Deathshead", was one word. However, after watching the scene where Deathshead tells Blazkowicz to say his it in German (Totenkopf) I realized that it's a literal translation. Totenkopf is one word, so therefore Deathshead is one word as well.

There are clips of news articles throughout the game and other little collectable bits where they have absorbed famous music as their own. Even in Britain people have stopped eating as much fish and chips in favor of sauerkraut and sausage. They are not just killing people, they are utterly destroying cultures!
