History WMG / WolfensteinIITheNewColossus

[[WMG: The Freedom Chronicles will be framed as Nazi Propaganda with the characters presented as "villainous terrorists". But we, the players will see the truth.]]

As seen in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmy4WW8TqL8 launch trailer]], some people must have been thinking that this would be a credible scenario... Unless if Hitler would play some other role in the story.

* Jossed in the game. You don't fight KKK in actual game.

Frau Engel's daughter was born with a mental handicap, however, Frau Engel defended her from the Nazi's programs. This was less out of love and more that Frau Engel believes she, as a perfect Aryan woman, could never give birth to a "sub-human." She constantly verbally abuses her because Frau Engel is convinced her daughter is simply not trying hard enough, and otherwise perfectly fine mentally. The daughter might eat a lot to compensate for her stress and inability to understand why "mommy" is always so angry with her. When captured, B.J. talks to her in a way similar to Max Haus and earns the daughter's affection enough she helps him escape.
* The heavy set woman is Sigrun Engel, and she is indeed Frau Engel's Daughter. As for whether or not she has a mental handicap, I highly doubt it because those with a mental handicap are one of the people considered "subhuman" by the Nazis. My theory is given her apparent age (Frau Engel is stated to be in her mid 50s, which would put Sigrun in her early 20s at the least)she may just not be used to the violence and bloodshed of the world she lives in. Perhaps she does paperwork or other office jobs.

Remember, this is the 1960's we're talking about here. With many unfortunate minorities sadistically purged / ruined by the Nazis, while the most Aryan-looking upper-class white men get some of the technological privileges that the Nazis use to keep themselves in power, how long would Frau's decapitated stump spurt blood before the "slightly more conservative" members of the Resistance screw Blazkowitz over? With most of the resistance taking in drinks upon hearing the Nazis were defeated, this would be the moment when the former leaders of the United States could take back control, only to completely betray their former country by using the Da'at Yichud technology they've been reverse-engineering while stuck in the visitors' booths while the Nazis showed off, ultimately planning to take over the world like the Nazis did, but with less racial purging, and much, MUCH more national destruction with entire ''continents'' polluted beyond belief. We could have an entire second half fighting off a more competent army of US marines who use custom-built battleframes while piloting the formerly incompetent robot giants to their fullest, and this time none of them underestimate BJ like ''every other Nazi has to their death'', using anti-specialist tactics, predictive ambushes, and the occasional mass-grave to force a helpless cutscene situation.

Towards the end, BJ will even be fleeing a large group of Nazis, only to turn a corner and come face to gun with an officer. After a tense moment, the officer shouts "Sich ducken!" BJ hits the floor and the officer guns down his compatriots. The officer looks to BJ, then removes his headset. "Es tut mir leid," before he turns the gun on himself and blows his brains out. As BJ goes through the area the officer had come through, he sees dozens of Nazis already dead.

Growing up, Sigrun had few friends, because of her lack of ambition, poor health, and extremely controlling mother. However, Frau Engel did have people who treated Sigrun kindly: African slaves. To the slaves, they were simply being kind to their owner's daughter so Frau Engel won't murder them, but Sigrun (at the time) doesn't understand that. She eventually develops feelings for the kind, understanding, paternal "Uncle Remus" figure and the loving, nurturing "Aunt Jemima" like maternal figure. This is what attracts her to Africans and what first kindles her relationship with Bombate. While Sigrun is nice, she isn't completely without ingrained racism herself and she has to come to terms with that.

"The New Colossus" traditionally refers to the Statue of Liberty, and we've seen them use giant robots before, so it makes sense.

* This would make a lot of sense; in the previous game, J actively calls Billy out in chapter 7 on how racist America was even before the Nazis were in control. The trailers have hinted that Grace Jones also feels considerable contempt for how quickly white America went from their pre-WW2 racism to reinstating slavery and other inhumanities. Add in that America was referred to during both world wars as "the sleeping giant", and suddenly the game's subtitle takes on a rather ominous cast of {{foreshadowing}}...

Similar to ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' when Jacob Taylor and Miranda Lawson are asking Commander Shepard who the "Virmire Survivor" was at the start of the game, B.J. will be asked who he remembers as part of the [[LaResistance Kreisau Circle]] in Berlin: whomever players select to be spared is the one who will be present in the playthrough, while the other is KilledOffForReal due to the events from ''VideoGame/WolfensteinTheNewOrder'' prologue [[spoiler: and BJ destroying the victim's brain after being transplanted into a prototype combat robot]].

When B.J. wakes up, he is in no shape to walk at all, needing a wheelchair to move around. Probably due to the injuries sustained in his fight with Deathshead, it's safe to assume he's now paraplegic, seeing as he could walk after being in coma for 14 years in the first game, but not now after spending a few months in bed. In others scenes he's shown using Caroline's armor, further evidence that he's no longer able to stand on his own. However, whenever he's seen in his new attire (the yellow and black jacket) he is able to move around normally, but with a little peculiarity: There's now a golden ring around his neck, which is very similar to the cat/monkey hybrid. It's possible that at some point Set was able to create a new body for B.J, or maybe acquire one that matches his stature. Could even be that Nazis had cloned B.J. (remember how interested Deathshead was in experimenting on him) and the resistance somehow managed to acquire it's body.

Blazkowicz head is then transplanted to a superior body that would provide a better opportunity to lead a normal life, and of course, the means to continue his Nazi killing crusade.

One mission, you will have to track down Hubertus von Strachwitz, the Adam West-expy who plays the superhero Blitzmensch. The actor is a war veteran. The mission will be to assassinate him and will involve lots and lots of stealth as you go through his estate. However, when you finally confront him, he's a sobbing, drunken wreck. He admits that he is utterly miserable, hates the Nazis, but is just too frightened to stand up to them, unlike his character who is always brave. BJ convinces him to take a stand. The next day, on public television and in full costume, he denounces Nazi ideology and tells his people to stand up to them. Though he gets a bullet to the head for his trouble, this will be a key part in liberating America, as the people will be in open rebellion.

As the ''VideoGame/Wolfenstein3D'' [[AllThereInTheManual manual hinted at a grandson named "B. Blaze"]], provided ''The New Colossus'' ensures B.J. and his new family's survival, his children will eventually sire the future "VideoGame/CommanderKeen", though not the same one as many will know thanks to AlternateHistory triggered from ''The New Order''. Likewise, this extends to "Doomguy", if the implications from the ''Wolfenstein'' {{RPG}} that Billy Blaze is Doomguy's ancestor is considered canon.

One mission, you will have to track down Hubertus von Strachwitz, the Adam West-expy who plays the superhero Blitzmensch. Initially, the job will be to assassinate him and will involve lots and lots of stealth. However, when you finally confront him, he's a sobbing, drunken wreck. He admits that he is utterly miserable, hates the Nazis, but is just too frightened to stand up to them, unlike his character who is always brave. BJ convinces him to take a stand.

Judging from how Herr Kommandant in Roswell looked like he [[OhCrap soiled himself]] when he [[FailedASpotCheck finally]] realized the fireman he had talking to was 'Terror Billy' himself, this trope will end up becoming a DeconstructedTrope, that B.J. is so feared by the rank and file Nazis (to absolute [[Videogame/{{DOOM 2016}} Doom Slayer]] levels) that towards the end of the game when the Nazis are on the verge of total defeat in America they are all absolutely beside themselves with fear they simply lose the will to fight and just clear a path for you all the way straight to the FinalBoss. Or go down fighting wallowing in [[DespairEventHorizon abject despair]].

They already had Hans in Wolfenstein 2009, and they like to make interesting characters, so it's the perfect opportunity to introduce a big, angry German woman out for your blood.

Since most members of the resistance distrust her, there could be a mechanic where you can either put your trust in Sigrun and earn her loyalty or mistrust her, treat her coldly and such and decrease her loyalty bar. Should this system be implemented, it may change how the end game levels play out. Sigrun either remains loyal or returns to her mother's side.

At the end of the game, BJ and Frau Engel will both be badly wounded. Sigrun will enter the picture holding a gun. Engel will attempt to persuade her daughter to help her, saying how she only pushed her so she could achieve her potential. Sigrun will become increasingly confused and start crying, before BJ gives a heartfelt, "Do what you think is right." By giving her an option instead of DEMANDING she behave a certain way, Sigrun will turn the gun on her mother and open fire before falling to her knees and breaking down in tears.

Similar to the Concentration Camp level in the prior game, in this one you will have to infiltrate a full KKK rally, most likely to rescue an African American resistance leader who is set to be lynched. The difference between the Concentration Camp level will be that you go in as an enemy instead of a prisoner, giving you lots and lots of up close views of the racism and horrors of what the KKK are capable of, especially now they can operate without even a hint of public hatred. This will also make the end of the level, where you kill every person there, all the more satisfying.
