Of course, you also come across others who recognise you, not as the awful Terror Billy that the Nazis claim you to be, but as the man who is America’s last hope. While taking a stroll through Roswell, New Mexico, you’ll see youngsters queuing up for propaganda movies at their nearby cinema, Ku Klux Klan members looking to impress Nazi soldiers with their pronunciation of German words, and locals whooping and hollering at a parade celebrating the day the war was won – not lost. This is over 10 years after U.S.A.’s concession, though, and some Americans are happy under German rule. Blazkowicz and his fellow freedom fighters still looking to spill the blood of those persecuting the American people, abolishing the world of Nazi rule in the process. Wolfenstein 2 picks up right after the events of the first game, with former Allied forces soldier B.J. And there has to be a resistance: the Nazis had a far more successful World War II in this timeline than in ours.

After the bloodshed of the first-person shooter is over, a metalcore rendition of the glam rock hit plays out, and summarises the thoughts of many in 2017, as well as the resistance in 1960s America. The original version of We’re Not Gonna Take It is a light and fluffy number: the soundtrack to an argument about vegetables at the dinner table rather than the beginning of a debate on the political landscape. The words of Dee Snider’s semi-rebellious teenage anthem have rarely felt more emotive than they do at the end of Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.
