As a result, little of consequence, relating to the Thulian Mystery Occults, occurred over the next century, Then, in 918 the Saxon Prince, Heinrich I, displayed a renewed interest in these teachings as he set out to form an independent Germanic kingdom, separate from the powerful Frankish dynasty.

The following is an excerpt from "A Spiritual History of the Third Reich" by Dr. Soory for the ramble, we're supposed to be talking about space Nazis not Space Soviets.
It's neat to imagine the Cold War truly spreading into space, interplanetary raids on enemy colonies, capturing enemy stations with boarding parties while the citizens of the homeworld watch, stilll waiting for the bombs to inevitably fall but with an added fear of weapons floating above their heads. It seems silly now but the competition between the superpowers was such that, at the time and with how little the US truely knew about the Soviet space program, it was worth serious consideration. All those military contractors were going into the project with the presuposition that of course you would need a hardsuit rated for small arms, I mean the Soviets were already in space, the astronuts would need that protection, and space rifles, if they were attacked by cosmonauts on their way to or from the moon/station etc. This is kind of fascinating, it really shows how not every problem cn be solved with a single mindset or way of doing things. If the Playtex-equivalent was even allowed to join the design competition, the overseers would push and push and push for the military designs, and with Wolfenstein tech, they could make it work.Īn article, if any of you are interested. In a Nazi-run world, with their feelings on both women and the military, there is no way a Nazi Apollo program would use soft cloth suits. Playtex invented a new type of material specifically for the suits, and every one of them was sewn by experienced seamstresses. With OTL 1960s tech, they couldn't get them to work, while the bra manufacturer, with their decades of experience designing and sewing comfortable and sturdy designs, could. And every other competitor just could not stop their suits from springing leaks and decompressing, or they weren't flexible enough and could easily leave the astronaut stranded in a situation they couldn't get out of because of limited range of movement. The Block II Apollo suit (the need for which was recognised after the Apollo 1 fire) was designed by Playtex, a bra manufacturer, who won a design competition against every other competitor, almost every one of them a military contractor that was pushing for a metal hardshell design, most of them rated against small arms, rather than the cloth and latex design that Playtex submitted. I don't know if it was deliberate with the 2009 Wolfenstein, but I am damn sure it's deliberate with the Machine Games games.Īlso, remember that shot of the Nazi on the moon from the marketing campaign for New Order that was a deliberate echo of multiple Apollo astronauts with the American flag? Well, I realised there's every likelihood that there is no way an astronaut in the Wolfenstein universe would be wearing a moonsuit that looked anything like that. You can see echoes of this in the Occult Research and Deathshead's division. It was a deliberate decision by Hitler to ensure no-one could get powerful enough to dethrone him, and ran on down the line to the lowest-ranked individuals. Well past healthy competition, to the point of sabotaging their own war effort. For money, for resources, for manpower, for everything. The Nazis were insanely into intercenine warfare as a matter of policy - different projects and organisations, to quote Wedge Antilles, didn't compete, they dueled.

In a way, the Wolfenstein series (at least the more recent ones) is remarkably historically-accurate in the weirdest ways.
