    Still an O.S.A. Agent, Blazkowicz is sent to Isenstadt, a (fictional) city in Germany where the Nazis are mining special stones called the Nachtsonne crystals in order to power the Thule Medallion. When in possession, the wearer of the medallion is able to enter the Veil, a barrier between the real world and a dimension known as the Black Sun, harnessing its powers. Once Blazkowicz gets hold of the medallion, he is able run faster, jump higher, penetrate walls and deflect bullets.

    3 years after the events of the previous game, Blazkowicz suffers a head injury that leaves him in a vegetative state for 14 years in a Polish asylum. In 1960, Blazkowicz awakens from his coma and is shocked to learn that during his absence, the Nazis have ended World War II in victory and have taken over the world. With the help of the asylum nurse and love interest Anya Oliwa, he joins the resistance and continues where he left off.

    The game also explores his past with the introduction of his father Rip, an Alt-Right salesman, and mother Zofia, a caring housewife. Blazkowicz had a traumatic childhood mostly because of his abusive father who scolded him for befriending with an African American girl, not wanting to kill his dog when instructed, and constantly assaulted his mother. The stress of it all forced young Blazkowicz to run away from home to join the army. Flash forward to the present, Blazkowicz reunites with his father who reveals that he willingly sent Zofia to the Nazis for being Jewish and was executed. Attempting to do the same thing to his son, Blazkowicz kills Rip in defense.

    Soon after, he gets captured and is beheaded in public by Freu Engel. Luckily, the resistance is able to preserve his severed head and attached it to a new body.

    At the end of the game, Blazkowicz proposes to Anya who is pregnant with twins.
