Projects that have specifically been abandoned or considered "dead" get moved here, so people will quit bumping them. If your project has wound up here and it should not be, contact a moderator to have it moved back to the land of the living.

Funny, but I'd recommend to improve it.

The sprit itself, from what i can see in the video, looks like a pretty nice edit. Atleast as good as any Wolfenstein sprites can be done. I found it a bit funny, myself but it was pretty strange. I've definitely not seen a black man part of any Nazi group before. XD Seems like an oxymoron. (no offense to any possible black Nazis out there).

In NAZI Germany, black persons were made fun of and forced to work as comedy characters in theatres and stuff like that (from "The NAZI's: A Warning from History"). The NAZIs were extremely racist and would never have tolerated a black person in mainstream society, the army or whatever.

In other words, there would never have been a "black NAZI"as such; it's true that the Nation of Islam has been called "naziistic" due to Farrakhan's own racist beliefs (i.e., against whites and against black persons who in his opinion "aren't black enough" for him, whatever that means) and admiration of some of Hitler's politics; however, that's a whole other debate since I assume we're discussing 1930s/40s German NAZIism here.

Why do you all-caps Nazi? It's not an acronym, it's just short for "Nationalsozialist" (in German, the 'tion' suffix is pronounced "zi-on" rather than "shun" like in English, so "national" is pronounced "nazional"). By the way, "nazi" was originally a nickname used by their opponents. The Nazi party's official name, NSDAP, translates to "German Workers' National Socialist Party" which make it sound rather communist, doesn't it?

Of course, an SS with an afro is as stupid as would be an SS with a yarmulke, but stupid was the aim of the author. :)

Gez: I'm pretty sure Martin means to, you know, STRESS that the opponents in here are NAZIS and not, say, OVERBLOWN JAPANESE CARTOON STEREOTYPE AMERICANS.
