* [[BigBad General Bohm's]] anti-partisan actions in ''VideoGame/SniperElite4''. He orders his men to [[ObligatoryWarCrimeScene ruthlessly slaughter innocent civilians and suspected partisans alike]], and the evidence of his men's actions can be seen throughout the campaign, with dozens of men, women, and children herded and executed. It's no wonder that even TheMafia, who are stated by [[RebelLeader Sofia]] to be mass murderers themselves, oppose the Nazis and their Italian fascist allies without question.

* Unlike most games that depict StupidJetpackHitler in an awe-inspiring way, this series goes to great lengths to show the dark side of the Nazis having such wonder-weapons, with several of these weapons coming close to causing massive Allied casualties and irreperable damage.

** The destruction of the project at the end of the 3rd mission, while awesome, is also pretty darn scary. ''An entire town'' is razed just from the malfunctioning of a handful of incomplete nuclear warhead prototypes. It helps to demonstrate how devastating the weapon would have been against the Allies should it have been completed.

* The Deathstorm DownloadableContent campaigns have some pretty unnerving things, namely, [[MacGuffin Deathstorm itself]]. As the campaign progresses, it some becomes clear that Deathstorm is [[StupidJetpackHitler a Nazi nuclear warhead project]]. Should this thing have remained undiscovered, it's very likely that the Luftwaffe would have deployed it against the Allies during the Normandy invasion, with thousands of Allied soldiers dying from the effects of radiation poisoning.

** [[KnightOfCerebus General Bohm]] himself for that matter. For most of the game, SOE, OSS, TheMafia, LaResistance, and even the Germans and Italians [[TheGhost have no idea what he looks like]]. When he finally reveals himself to Fairburne in the final level, he turns out to be none other than Weaver's contact [[TheMole Major Dorfmann]]. He then mentions to Fairburne how much he loves to pose as different individuals in order to get the intel he needs, saying that [[CardCarryingVillain he can either be a man...or a monster]]. Thankfully, Fairburne knew immediately that "Dorfmann" wasn't trustworthy.

* [[BigBad General Vahlen's]] plans with the [[TankGoodness Ratte]] in ''VideoGame/SniperEliteIII'', and for that matter, [[GeneralRipper Vahlen]] himself. According to the accounts of several German and Italian officers, once Axis victory in North Africa can be assured, he plans on overthrowing Rommel, the German High Command, and even, Hitler himself in [[TheCoup a coup]]. When this doesn't push through, he begins having a slow, but very massive VillainousBreakdown, which involves him forcing his men to double their work on the Ratte prototype, and executing anyone for even making a slight complaint against it. Not someone you want to be assigned under, especially when your side is already close to losing.

* [[MadScientist Dr. Wolff's]] EvilPlan in ''VideoGame/SniperEliteV2''. It involves launching a [[DeadlyGas tabun-filled]] V2 rocket at London. Note that this is late in UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, when Allied victory was only days or so away. That's already pretty unsettling enough, but to make it worse, he was doing this under ''[[DirtyCommunists Soviet]]'' supervision (having successfully defected just before Fairburne could get to him), and that this entire scheme was a FalseFlagOperation where the Wehrmacht would be made TheScapegoat to cover-up the incident. Had Fairburne not foiled the launch, it would have been highly likely that London would have been utterly devastated by the gas attack, with thousands of civilian casualties.
