7 Times Game Developers Messed Up Historical Characters
5. Adolf Hitler In Wolfenstein 3D
In 1992, id Software released their milestone game, Wolfenstein 3D, entirely establishing the FPS genre in one fell swoop. The plot is by today's standards incredibly simple. William "B.J.“ Blazkowicz frees himself from imprisonment in the titular Castle Wolfenstein, fighting off Wehrmacht soldier, German Shepherd dogs, and zombies. The great end boss is, as pictured, the mad dictator Adolf Hitler armed with his mecha suit.
I guess you don't really need a lesson on Adolf Hitler's life, but, anyway here it is.
Born and raised in Austria, he failed his entrance exam in the School of Art in Vienna in his early adult life. As the first World War broke, out he joined the German war efforts and fought on multiple occasions. Demoralised and full of hate, he joined a far-right party in Munich, Bavaria after being dismissed from the army. Fast forward a couple of years and he is knee-deep in war and caused the most horrific atrocities in human history.
His mecha suit wielding ability are undocumented and highly implausible.
