9:53 another CoD's mistake that probably is less guilty for Sledgehammer to got wrong: SS don't call each other "Herr something". It's a strictly Wehrmacht way to address others. Otto Carius mentioned in his autobiography that he once got scolded hard when he had to deal with a SS field HQ.
good catch there. I was wondering the same when the Freisinger character said Herr Richter. Wehrmacht had a Prussian aristocractic tradition inherited from the Heer, while the SS followed titular distinction.
the uniforms in this were pretty accurate, they have policemen as the guards in the prison segments, the ranks are correct on the uniforms, most of the medals are correct.
the ranks are correct??? are u okay? the interrogator literally have a shutze rank… hes an officer with a private rank. also the coat in the first scene is incorrect. a ss member in 1945 with a brown sa shirt… cmon this is extremely unrealistic they all have high boots when low boots were standard issue in 1945 i can go on forever
The interogator is an insult to his job. Yeah, its a game, but there is no way they would have left the group together and would sent an interogator like this one in there. He is only there because of loyalty to the party. The Nazis would have had plenty of skilled interogators, which would use methods where you would pray to be killed instead of enduring them.
The story and the setting is on the edge of immersing me in it entirely but you get a strong feeling that this is all made as a social messaging about racism and diversity in a setting like WW2 and its not even about racism against the jews, its the typical amercian story of racism against blacks. So ridiculous. Edit: more i watch the cringier it gets. Polina's scene is so fucking forced hahahah its comedy!
Gotta love the stereotypical bond bad guy you see from the nazies. Just makes them less intimidating. Plus why is the Sturmführer barking orders at the Haubtsturmführer? And the black uniform with the swastika armband was phased out by 1941.
Honestly a lot pf REALLY good ways they could work with that imo, it could be a really goos story of a Soilder fighting for his country but turning more into an Ally or something darker
@@kobrax0341 it could remain in the Axis, it would be too much cliché I would like to play with the Italians in Africa or in Italy (RSI) against the Allied invasion. Or like a Finnish campaign... or a German, Japanese, Romanian. Something cool ye know? Even a Chinese campaign could be cool. For the Germans we could play as a soldier of the foreigner legions that fought in Russia or even in other places.
I know this is supposed to be serious scenes, but I got the feeling of a comedy skit from all of these. Like the intterogator are losing his shit while the one being interogated are messing around with him the whole time. I don't know whether they done this intentionally or not, but it is kind of funny
That's one of my criticisms of the campaign; the Nazis weren't portrayed as menacing/intelligent enough, unlike Col. Hans Landa in 'Inglorious Basterds' for example.
@@KianoUyMOOP because most Nazis aren't Hans Landa. Most were dipshits and history shows that. People really hype up the Nazis without knowing the behind the scenes shit that was going on.
@@commiechild4951 That's an incredibly dangerous thing thing to say. Never downplay evil, it doesn't help people. I see a lot of people do it to Communists too. Calling them all idiots.

The National Socialists, especially those serving in the SS before recruitment standards became basically nonexistent, were some of the highest caliber Humans the species could produce. We're talking top percentiles in not just physical, but mental areas as well. It's nice and all to pretend evil only comes from stupidity, and that smart men can't ever be evil. But the reality is often the opposite. The Germans suffered from a massive number of issues during the war, intelligence was not one of them.
@@commiechild4951 you actually don't know what you're talkin about man the idea that anybody actually knows what happened in World War II is totally ridiculous history books are modern-day propaganda
@@attackmaster519 The SS is overblown and only has some few key points in it's entire life span which could be seen as "elite" in a military matter. Early on the SS was shit and only till the Greece and Yugoslavia invasions would we see the elite SS most people think about. But don't forget that the SS's capabilities were short lived and most of their existence was a mixed bag of good performance with very average and poor performance compared to the heer. The Germans were talented I'll give them that but it's naive to act like they weren't dumb as well. The amount of flaws in their tactics and planning is laughable. They believed in genetic theories that involved spirits and long forgotten races of giants to push the idea that Aryans were an actual superior race. At the end of the day the Nazis were nothing more than a tyrannical force that believed in crazy shit that sadly cost millions of lives because of it.
4:20 Why in this game a lieutenant is making orders for a captain? LEL And why one of them is in a gala uniform while doing his standard office job? Fantasy game.
When the higher ranking SS officer calls his subordinate 'Sir' and is told to report directly to him. Man... the inaccuracy of CoD WW2 games is amazing now. WaW was still better, even after all these years.
What puzzles me is they have the swastika in some places but not in the others, like in the eagle wreath and several badges where there should be the swastika, instead they have crosses. As far as uniforms go, I can write a whole article about what I've seen in the game, but no game ever gets uniforms right, though some more than others.
@@flyingtanks9313 Yeah, he's supposed to be a big cheese yet his tabs are of an Untersturmfuhrer, plus he's in the black pre war SS uniform but everyone makes this mistake cos it looks awesome. They got Richter's tabs right but not the shoulder boats, Kingsley said no combat medals but I'm pretty sure that's an Iron Cross ribbon in his tunic. The Russians in Stalingrad are wearing shoulder boards which weren't introduced until 43 to everyone's suprise because of it's association with the Tsarist era
It's pretty unrealistic that a "SS-Untersturmführer" (lieutenant) with a "SS-Sturmmann" (private) arm badge had the power to interrogate other soldiers.

@Johann Bautista Heinz Guderian who helped create Blitzkrieg tactics and Karl Dönitz of the Kriegsmarine famous for U-Boat operations are also notable people in WW2 Germany

@Johann Bautista Yeah, Guderian did a lot to belittle Soviet general staff and make the German general staff and Wehrmacht look like they were far stronger, had more capabilities and were cleaner, and this was emphasized by Western Allies that needed to give the Germans a good light when they formed the Bundeswehr

He is, tho. He's a callous interrogator who has absolutely no qualms about harming others outside of his own skin. He is still a Nazi of his own volition, the choice to go along with white supremacy enshrined by Nazis his own. It's only now that it involves having to save his own skin because the system is finally reaching its logical endpoint, with those in charge breathing down your necks to execute you the moment you get out of line for even a second. He may not be the worst guy here, but he's still a bad guy.
Never thought I'd say this but, it's kinda insulting thinking that the Germans in the 1940's were one note racist ponies. Even to deaths head and the SS elite placed intel and facts over emotion and random racism.
If there's a campaign hopefully there'll be a video on the whole story cuz I don't really wanna get vanguard but I'm interested in the story and hopefully we get information about cold war and warzone
Did the Germans have their own derogatory racial term for black people? Like the N-word? Back then ‘Negro’ was just a neutral term for a black person, the person in question didn’t have to be racist to call someone a negro.

@@wilhufftarkin8543 the call of duty games are all on one timeline now, so trying to have everything be historically accurate is impossible especially because this game connects with at least the Zombies universe as well, where there was a German general with the ability to raise the dead and where the Russians were opening dimensional rifts to the dark aether at the time.

9:53 another CoD's mistake that probably is less guilty for Sledgehammer to got wrong:
SS don't call each other "Herr something". It's a strictly Wehrmacht way to address others.
Otto Carius mentioned in his autobiography that he once got scolded hard when he had to deal with a SS field HQ.
good catch there. I was wondering the same when the Freisinger character said Herr Richter. Wehrmacht had a Prussian aristocractic tradition inherited from the Heer, while the SS followed titular distinction.
I actually didn't know that, the more you know.
Herr just means Sir or Mr. In German lol, you’re completely wrong.
That's a completely normal way of adressing someone else that's still used today. What would they have called each other then?
@@shiiqu8174 Most likely their rank first, then their name
the uniforms in this were pretty accurate, they have policemen as the guards in the prison segments, the ranks are correct on the uniforms, most of the medals are correct.
People only point out the negatives and not the actual amount of work sledgehammer put into this game
the ranks are correct??? are u okay? the interrogator literally have a shutze rank… hes an officer with a private rank. also the coat in the first scene is incorrect. a ss member in 1945 with a brown sa shirt… cmon this is extremely unrealistic they all have high boots when low boots were standard issue in 1945 i can go on forever

He is only there because of loyalty to the party. The Nazis would have had plenty of skilled interogators, which would use methods where you would pray to be killed instead of enduring them.

The story and the setting is on the edge of immersing me in it entirely but you get a strong feeling that this is all made as a social messaging about racism and diversity in a setting like WW2 and its not even about racism against the jews, its the typical amercian story of racism against blacks.

Like the intterogator are losing his shit while the one being interogated are messing around with him the whole time.
I don't know whether they done this intentionally or not, but it is kind of funny
That's one of my criticisms of the campaign; the Nazis weren't portrayed as menacing/intelligent enough, unlike Col. Hans Landa in 'Inglorious Basterds' for example.
@@KianoUyMOOP because most Nazis aren't Hans Landa. Most were dipshits and history shows that. People really hype up the Nazis without knowing the behind the scenes shit that was going on.
@@commiechild4951 That's an incredibly dangerous thing thing to say. Never downplay evil, it doesn't help people. I see a lot of people do it to Communists too. Calling them all idiots. Doing something like that implies that the deaths under either were not intentional. The National Socialists, especially those serving in the SS before recruitment standards became basically nonexistent, were some of the highest caliber Humans the species could produce. We're talking top percentiles in not just physical, but mental areas as well.
It's nice and all to pretend evil only comes from stupidity, and that smart men can't ever be evil. But the reality is often the opposite. The Germans suffered from a massive number of issues during the war, intelligence was not one of them.
@@commiechild4951 you actually don't know what you're talkin about man the idea that anybody actually knows what happened in World War II is totally ridiculous history books are modern-day propaganda
@@attackmaster519 The SS is overblown and only has some few key points in it's entire life span which could be seen as "elite" in a military matter. Early on the SS was shit and only till the Greece and Yugoslavia invasions would we see the elite SS most people think about. But don't forget that the SS's capabilities were short lived and most of their existence was a mixed bag of good performance with very average and poor performance compared to the heer.
The Germans were talented I'll give them that but it's naive to act like they weren't dumb as well. The amount of flaws in their tactics and planning is laughable. They believed in genetic theories that involved spirits and long forgotten races of giants to push the idea that Aryans were an actual superior race. At the end of the day the Nazis were nothing more than a tyrannical force that believed in crazy shit that sadly cost millions of lives because of it.

What puzzles me is they have the swastika in some places but not in the others, like in the eagle wreath and several badges where there should be the swastika, instead they have crosses. As far as uniforms go, I can write a whole article about what I've seen in the game, but no game ever gets uniforms right, though some more than others.

@@flyingtanks9313 Yeah, he's supposed to be a big cheese yet his tabs are of an Untersturmfuhrer, plus he's in the black pre war SS uniform but everyone makes this mistake cos it looks awesome.

@Johann Bautista
Heinz Guderian who helped create Blitzkrieg tactics and Karl Dönitz of the Kriegsmarine famous for U-Boat operations are also notable people in WW2 Germany
While Rommel was a good general he was overrated, mainly by Guderian post war and Goebbels propaganda. He was a good tactician, sure, but strategist? The strategy was done much better by figures like Eisenhower, Zukhov, Konev and Harold Alexander
@Johann Bautista Yeah, Guderian did a lot to belittle Soviet general staff and make the German general staff and Wehrmacht look like they were far stronger, had more capabilities and were cleaner, and this was emphasized by Western Allies that needed to give the Germans a good light when they formed the Bundeswehr

He's a callous interrogator who has absolutely no qualms about harming others outside of his own skin. He is still a Nazi of his own volition, the choice to go along with white supremacy enshrined by Nazis his own.
It's only now that it involves having to save his own skin because the system is finally reaching its logical endpoint, with those in charge breathing down your necks to execute you the moment you get out of line for even a second.
