Story


World War II rages and nations fall. Himmler’s German SS Paranormal Division has Hitler's full backing to twist science and the occult into an army capable of annihilating the Allies once and for all. As US Army Ranger William “B.J.” Blazkowicz, you're on a solo mission to pierce the black heart of the Third Reich and stop Himmler...or die trying.
