The Historical Elements of Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus -- Colin's Last Stand (Episode 52)

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is a video game that explores a terrifying alternate history in which a technologically-advanced Nazi Germany wins World War II. The premise is largely outrageous, of course, but that doesn't mean there aren't some historical nuggets buried within the adventure's deep lore. (THIS VIDEO CONTAINS MILD SPOILERS FROM THE FIRST FEW HOURS OF THE GAME.)
