* So, the scene where J blares out a distorted version of the US anthem across Berlin is an obvious reference to Jimi Hendrix doing the same at Woodstock in our timeline. Thing is, in that case the performance was not intended to be patriotic, but a mocking protest against the Vietnam war. And as J states in-game, he has little reason to be nostalgic about the Old Order, so it does not make sense that he would do it as a defiant display of US patriotism. In context, it would perhaps make more sense for him to do a mocking rendition of the Horst Wessel Song, the unofficial Nazi anthem .

** For that matter, there is the question of how the Da'at Yichud developed their super tech without having an industrial base to develop and manufacture the materials they need for their devices. And no matter how gifted they might have been, it is unlikely that a tiny number of ultra-geniuses would come up with more insights than tens or hundreds of thousands of lesser engineers and scientists.

* The Wolfenstein wiki states, through rather broken English, that the names of the OSA personnel can be found on gravestones in ''The New Order''. It sounds a bit fishy since the wiki is the only place where this is mentioned and the OSA Director doesn't even have a name, so I figured I'd ask if anyone would be able to confirm or debunk this rumor.

**Bullets cost money, but the battery on the MG-60 can be recharged. Although a game mechanics explanation that is worth noting is the fact that you only see the MG-46 for one level, its not going to be used as extensively as the MG-60 and thus won't be exploited as much,[[GameBreaker especially when considering the MG-60 can take down a Super Soldier within seconds]].
