    Fridge Brilliance 
  • During the last cutscene where B.J. was preparing for the attack on Deathshead's compound, we can see that he was taken to RAF Kinloss in order to join the attack force, where said forces consisted of a numerous number of bombers and fighter planes. But if we pay close attention, RAF Kinloss, at least in our real life, was only a small training establishment grounds, never intended as a massive base of operations for the Allied Forces. This shows that in this alternate reality, the Allied Forces might have turned every remaining airbase in England to became fully operational given the desperate situation of the war. Makes the prologue mission of the New Order to become all the way more tragic...

  • After the release of the chemical gas, fire and zombies are already everywhere. The earthquake is the obvious cause, but it seems a bit odd for it to have taken out that many people, especially out in the open. When you consider that the chemical gas can only reanimate what's already dead, and realize that you're returning to areas you've already been, the realization comes that you're probably responsible for a good chunk of these zombies. This also makes B.J.'s dismissal of Kessler's insistence that you do not take out every Nazi you see on the way Harsher in Hindsight, especially if you fail to save him.
  • Assuming Annette survives, things won't be looking too good for her when you consider that not only is she a Jew but also implied to be homosexual, both of which the Nazis viewed as subhuman and needing to be exterminated. It doesn't make her future optimistic. Best case scenario Annette and her lover manage to join the resistance, probably forcing them to spend the rest of their lives in hiding, but that's assuming they aren't sent to a Concentration Camp first. Slightly brightened by the fact that Fergus' men seem to be picking them up in the aftermath of Wulfburg meaning they're presumably hitching a ride back to Britain with BJ. In this world Britain falls in the end as well of course but it would give Annette and her lover more time to find somewhere to hide.
