"Protecting children from Nazi imagery" has probably had the opposite effect. The part of Australia in which I grew up, schools avoided any mention of the events and ideologies around WW2 until we were 16. not everyone stayed in school that long, and even then, WW2 only came up in an _elective_ subject, modern history. This wasn't about keeping us away from war, no, we hear about WW1, particularly Gallipoli, every year from the age of 5. Up to the age of 16, my only knowledge of WW2 was that the Germans had way cooler guns, tanks, and aircraft. The town I grew up in is _full_ of Nazis now. I'm not being hyperbolic, here (maybe with the word "full", since it's not literally everyone, but not with the "Nazis"). I don't mean fiscal conservatives who also hate the gays. I mean there's plenty of folks with Iron Cross and Valknut tattoos when they think they're being clever, and SS tattoos when they lack even that much imagination. Most people can't tell the difference between a random skull and cross-bones and the Totenkopf unit insignia, but to the keen eye, there's plenty of those tattoos there, too. My point is, you shelter kids from the _realities_ of WW2, and you just make a new generation of Nazis. They turn to the History Channel for their education, and all you see there is "NEXT ON NAZI SUPER-WEAPONS!" and episodes of Ancient Aliens that work very hard to reinforce the idea that brown people couldn't possibly have built impressive things so it MUST have been aliens. Maybe if we'd taught kids in the 80s and 90s why they were shooting Nazis we wouldn't have the Nazis back, now. I've mentioned the Bad Thing and the Bad People several times in this comment, so I'll be surprised if KZread lets it see the light of day.

It's one thing to do that for a videogame, but with physical goods like injection-molded plastic and rule books, that's an enormous hurdle. And even though Wolfenstein games are okay now, I have no idea how Germany feels about Nazi imagery in toys, collectibles, and boardgames. Probably not too favorable!

Fun fact: To censor the wolfenstien levels in doom 2 some ports straight up remove the map. In doing so using the cheat IDCLEV 31 or IDCLEV 32 in those versions crash the game because the levels still exist in code but the maps have been removed, thus the game tries to load the maps but since there are no maps the game doesn't know what to do and crashes.

At least in the DooM WADs, each font is its own lump (a lump is a "file", e.g. a sound or image). They could have put that at least in the hidden secret levels in DooM 2. The level startup-names (e.g. "ENTRYWAY") are DooM BMP lumps, so they could use ANY letter they wished at least in those games.

I was surprised you didn't mention the Christmas version. For many years that would be the version you would find in shareware collections. I actually thought that it was an official mod and only relatively recently learned that it was unofficial. Of course, getting your dirty hands on the real Wolfenstein made you the coolest kid on the schoolyard. And if you had Doom 2 it absolutely had to be the version with the secret Wolfenstein levels. I don't even know if any other version existed. But it was great to be able to whisper that you actually had the "illegal" version.

For whenever you inevitable make a video about the modern games: I think it's worth noting that the indie game "Through The Darkest of Times" from Paintbucket Games was the first game to ever receive an USK rating for a gamescom demo including swastikas. They were arguing that videogames can be a form of art, and were allowed by the USK. Which led to Wolfenstein to release in Germany with this imagery as the "International Version". The reason we still have a censored version was, that retailers like MediaMarkt and Saturn did not want to sell the uncensored version (even if it was given a proper age rating).

The prosecutor's office in Stuttgart refused to investigate, citing the admission of the Bundesverband Interaktive Unterhaltungssoftware to the German Cultural Council in 2008 which officially recognised games as an art form rather than a mere toy.

@@blakegriplingph Yes, however this was on a federal level (since it was political satire). The USK back then said "We have this rule in place, but if someone wants to fight it, we could probably lift it". And TTDOT was the first game (with a publisher, gamescom booth etc) that actually took that path.

Having Rebecca for an interview is so awesome. Were the levels with swastikas in theid maps ever edited or considered for editing? In the Wolfstone 3D cabinet in The New Colossus, several levels had their layouts modified to remove swastikas, but I cant find anything about other ports.

Well, the SNES version has heavily simplified maps since the console couldn't really run the bigger ones. I'm assuming all the swastika-shaped rooms were removed along the way. All other Wolfenstein 3D ports (except the uncensored GBA one) are based on the SNES port, so those changes apply there too.

you forgot to say the superness of the snes port gave us the greatest game made on the wolfenstein engine. SUPER 3D NOAHS ARK. also this was a fun informative video on a shooter I personally love to play, great job and can't wait for the next video.

I always thought Giftmacher was saying "Son of a duck" when he dies. 24:56 -

this was an entertaining video :)

25:57 “rosebud frozen peas”

11:10 Bro called BJ Blaskowicz “Wolfenstein”

The "hamster mouse" at 20:50 looks kind of like a cartoon stoat to me

The First Wolfenstein Game ist actually Castle Wolfenstein for the Apple 2 Computer. It is very primitive and Not very relevant in a Video Like this but its interesting to know. Tolles Video übrigens.

Wolfenstine 3d was ported to HTML5 for one of its anniversary's it had a country selection and was open sourced i don't know if that meant the Tie sets were different the US version used the uncensored MS-Dos v1.4 Tiles.

"Mowing down Nazis is one of the best pastimes you can get" Hell yeah, brother

Very interesting!

Crazy how different funny mustache man looks in your art without the mustache, he looks like that one villain from scooby doo

4:15 I once stayed in a hotel that had a curtain over a wall, no window, nothing. I guess that’s where they got their inspiration.

Back in the day, the only way I could play wolf3d was the shareware which was circulated on floppies. very quickly is tarted modding and sharing these mods with other people on floppies. the first thing everyone did was to remove any WW2 references to make sure parents would not be alerted, it was a natural thing to do, the appeal for me was the gameplay, not the imagery and some mods were extremely good so I never felt i missed out on something. Edit: the game was banned in my area for the same reasons as in germany, so there was no real release, just bootlegs )

"Socially-Acceptable Swastika" would be an excellent band name.

It's worth noting that while the SNES version of Mortal Kombat had all the blood removed, the SNES version of Mortal Kombat II was nice and bloody (and also much better mechanically), because by that point the ESRB had been formed and Nintendo knew they'd lost that fight. Also a lot of Nintendo's aversion to mature content was Nintendo of America specifically, but when an American production like Mortal Kombat got compromised, a lot of the time they couldn't be bothered to re-bloody it up just for a Japanese release.

you didnt mention the title theme for wolf 3d being horst wessel lied

Luckily, you did, so now I don't have to!

That reminds me. Way back there was this game in a magazine (I forget the name) which had some weird 3 bar logos. Like they erased one line from that one Nazi symbol.

darn, i remember playing wolfenstine when i was 9 on a old pc that worked with dos that we had in the house, i actually got scared as a kid and thinked the line "Mein Leben!" was "My Liver!" good times...

Sag mal, kaufst du dir die Deutschen versionen von den spielen oder suchst du nur auf youtube und auf forums ?

Bis jetzt habe ich alle Spiele gekauft, ja. Ich benutze nur Aufnahmen von anderen Leuten, wenn ich es selber nicht aufnehmen kann (z.B. die SNES version, oder the DOS version, für die ich keine Zeit hatte, sie aufzunehmen). Aber sonst sind alle Aufnahmen von mir :) Und zum Glück konnte ich vor Kurzem eine deutsche Kopie von Wolfenstein 2009 ergattern, WAS WIRKLICH NICHT LEICHT WAR.

@@GermanPeter Ja das glaube ich dir, aber cool das du's auch selber machst :)

the SNES port was pretty technically limited by the inferior hardware - not really bad, i shouldn't say that - but I do appreciate that it added two projectile weapons, the rocket launcher and flame thrower. it felt like kind of a bridging point between Wolf3D and Doom, since they act somewhat similiar to Doom's rocket launcher and the plasma rifle

Hey, GermanPeter! If I wanted to make a remix/adaptation of your background music, is there any resources available for artists to reference or use? I love the music :)

You should probably contact Sunnexo, who made the music: kzread.info You can tell them I sent you :)

I was not expecting the Civvie 11 callout

Peter you forgot about the wolf 3D arcade in Youngblood

One thing I distinctively remember is that the menu music of Wolf 3D is a midi version of .... Horst-Wessel-Lied ( the nazi anthem ). Does this play in the German versions of the game ? I suspect not, but I dunno. Very interesting video by the way - subbed :)

Strange that this would avoid censoring. Interesting. Thanks

Not surprised that a game like this would face so many changes there lol
