Der Major

here some screens of that guy, I think its more likley to be him than Richtofen but the overall shape of the face looks like Richtofen so I dont know lol

I don't think this is Richtofen.

1.) Richtofen has got a Knight's Cross.

2.) This "guy" has got a higher rank. I dont think its just a "Allgemeine-SS" Soldier.

The 2 rank symbols he has got near his collar are not Richtofens rank!

I think something really epic is awaiting us in this great map pack...

Richtofen doesn't have those things over shoulders.

Richtofen has exactly the same military rank!

Number 6 here:

Richtofen's rank is Brigadeführer, Major General.

The zombie-like character on the image got the same rank; Brigadeführer.

BTW, does somebody else also see the high-ranked guy on the 3 classic map images located in germany?

I'll try to find out his rank... maybe its Maxis... :o

Please give me a Nikolai rank .

I was playing with Maddog (player listed above me)....

We both quit when the round changed, thats why we got 00m 00s last round time.

Well, in a linguistic perspective, it makes sense (the black sun being the solar eclipse). But as you pointed out w/ the symbol of the "black sun", why would it be the sinkhole on the Shangri-La page? Not trying to derail the possibility, just looking at it from a different view.

Shangri-La could be a sort of a nazi memorial place, I think somebody posted already that german explorers traveled to Himalaya/Asia...

This would also help to understand why "Richtofen" is written on a stone on Shangri-La.

...some connection between Maxis and MP3. Good job!

By the way whats MP3? :)

Good to see a newer member of the site posting some quality info! :]

Thanks!

Does black sun mean the mooon!?

It could be the moon, yes...

Black sun is also a (rarely used) other word for a solar eclipse... (Solar Eclipse Easteregg Link?)

It was written on chalkboards on Der Riese, so it maybe was written on it by a Group 935 member.

If Dr. Richtofen still works/still wants to work for 935 this could explain why he wanted to travel to Shangri-La.

Hi everyone,

As you might know, the german word "Schwarze Sonne" (black sun) was written on a chalkboard on Der Riese.

>> "Schwarze Sonne" on Wikipedia.

Please read it my english isnt good enough to explain it...

This is the symbol of "Schwarze Sonne":

And I think you can see it in the Shangri-La loading-screen with a bit fantasy...

I think this could be a link to Der Riese/Dr. Maxis/Group 935.

I hope you unterstand what I try to show you .

Sry if someone posted already.

I think I found the Wittenau Sanatorium - also known as the "Wittenauer Heilstätten" - on Google Maps.

A bit more information:

The "Wittenauer Heilstätten" was also a part of "Aktion T4" (Action T4)...

The Nazis killed "lebensunwerte" (Life unworthy of life) people in these "Heilstätten" (a special Hospital), but of course they didn't tell the public so.

They only said that they "help" their "patients" in these "Heilstätten", but most of these "patients" were killed by the "Totenkopf-SS"; This means they are not so different from concentration camps.

I'm sorry for using some german words, but I really don't know english words for them.

+ Sorry for my sometimes terrible english .
