Trivia
Enigma automobile
During the second mission of chapter two, "Tempest in the Port", you are on a German U-Gunkhole and take to steal any information you lot can and sabotage the boat. However, the level contains a bonus objective that is non told to you by the game. Yous can detect a German language Enigma Machine, and by pressing the action button can take the machine'due south codes and consummate the bonus objective, and earn a medal for the action.
The German Enigma coding automobile was not fictitious. It was in fact existent. The Enigma was an encryption and cipher machine that the Germans used most famously in WWII. The organisation of encryption for the Enigma was extremely complex, and only through operator fault, procedural mistake, or captured codebooks (a.k.a goose egg) could the Allies decipher the letters. As a result, the Enigma's codebooks and secrets were extremely well-guarded. The simple fact that you can walk upwardly to the machine and steal the codebook is questionable in the game, though such a feat certainly would have been awarded.
There is also the matter of historical accuracy. During WWII, simply xv cipher books had been captured, and the Americans and Canadians had ane each. The remainder were performed by the British. Every bit well, the Naval Enigma cipher was actually captured by a British boarding crew on the U-110, not a unmarried American soldier.
Also the historical background, the little objective is besides a reference to the WWII moving-picture show U-571. The plot of the movie details an American naval coiffure attempting to capture the Naval Enigma nix aboard the U-Boat U-571. This movie is as well just every bit historically inaccurate as the game, which suggests, perhaps, that it was even the basis for which the objective was based on.
Another funny reference is that in the cheat bill of fare, the typewriter y'all enter in cheats on is actually the Enigma itself.
German version
In Frg the game had to be pulled from the shelves and all the covers had to be reprinted, considering there was a swastika on the back cover and Nazi symbols aren't allowed in (or on) games in that location. For the same reason all Nazi flags in the game were replaced. Additionally all level statistics (except time and overall evaluation) were removed, the cutscenes using historical pic material were re-cut and all words like "Nazi", "Hitler" or "Führer" were avoided during localization. A detailed list of changes can be institute on schnittberichte.com (German).
Nazis
All of the Nazis speak existent German. If you get to the cheat menu, and turn on subtitles, you can encounter what they say if y'all sneak up on them unnoticed. Some of the conversations they have are quite humorous, and can be pretty long besides.
References
Several of the chapters in the game are actually modeled off of famous WWII movies and novels.
The first and most obvious one is the "D-Day" mission, modeling its missions, plot, and setting to the movie Saving Individual Ryan. Besides the unabridged plot and completely recreated setting, several elements are borrowed from the motion picture, including the hopeless abandonment on the beach, the frantic bunker gunfire, shelling, and storming the seawall.
Chapter ii, "Storm in the Port" also takes its setting from Saving Private Ryan. The outset mission is a reenactment of the climax of the movie, where you must fight through the broken wreckage of a French town to aid the Allies in their struggle confronting advancing Axis soldiers and tanks. The second role of the affiliate, storming the German language U-Boat pen, also models quite a bit of its scenery and costume pattern off of platitude High german submarine movies.
It makes sense that the game would borrow heavily from Saving Individual Ryan; Steven Spielberg directed the moving-picture show, and also had a major part in the production of the game.
Another one of these chapters in the game is titled "Several Bridges Too Far". This is an homage to the WWII 1970's book and movie A Bridge Also Far. The plot of the volume and movie detailed Operation Market Garden, the failed Centrolineal attempt to interruption through German lines at Arnhem in the occupied Netherlands.
In an reenactment, the chapter in the game puts y'all on the front lines of Operation Market Garden. The missions take you through the state of war-swept city of Arnhem, where you actually rendezvous with the men trapped backside enemy lines in Nazi occupied Netherlands. Throughout the chapter, you even meet well-nigh of the characters that are portrayed in the movie.
