| “ | From the dusty crypt emerges a hand, rotting and thin. In younger days, it would have appeared perhaps dignified - now it had the stench of rats. A hoarse croak emerges, nothing like the booming voice it once was. But for Germanian wind and the distant grumble of the horde from the north, the night is silent. Goebbels, the Minister of War, had awakened from a fitful slumber. | „ |
| ~ Excerpt of zombie Goebbels' in-game biography. |
Paul Joseph Goebbels, also known as the Undead Corpse of Joseph Goebbels, is a posthumous antagonist of The New Order: Last Days of Europe, a mod for Hearts of Iron 4. He was the Reichsminister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda in Nazi Germany until his death in 1956.
Overview[]
Though being dead by the start of the story, Goebbels had a long influence on the Nazi Germany, especially in his role as the benefactor of its militarist faction, now de jure represented by Hermann Göring.
He is also the posthumous overarching antagonist of Moskowien storyline, with his death triggered the feud between Kasche and the local SS members.
Goebbels also appeared as the main antagonist in the (non-canonical) 2020's Halloween event, where he came back from the dead... as a half-rotten zombie that led a large army of undead soldiers in Burgundy, known collectively as the Horde.
Biography[]
Backstory[]
Gobbels had joined the Nazi Party early on and became one of Hitler's closest associates. In 1933, he was appointed to the position of the Reichsminister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda.
After the Axis victory over the Allies in the World War II, Goebbels had been working on developing the Reich culture as well as Nazi propaganda during his days as the Reichsminister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda, controlling all of the information of the newly-formed Greater Germanic Reich.
Being a staunch supporter of aggressive wars, Goebbels greatly relished in propagate and glorify the Fascist wars and created a concept of Stratocratic Nazism, planning on a total war against the entire world. His total war project would be supported by Wehrmacht's most hard-line militarists such as Remer and Schorner.
It would potentially be carried out by Göring after his ascension as the new Fuhrer.
Death[]
However, in 1956, Goebbels suffered from Russian partisans' attack on his life in Moskowien. Soon, he was betrayed and assassinated by one of his closest friends, Wolf-Heinrich Graf von Helldorff.
After killing Goebbels, Helldorff framed the SS-Aktionsgruppe Moskowien for Goebbels' assassination and triggered the grudge between the SS and Siegfried Kasche. In spite of Goebbels' death, his ideas of a total war would live on through the militarist faction members.
In-Game[]
Halloween 2020 event[]
Important Note: This entire section is a joke story exclusive to the Halloween 2020 event. It is considered to be non-canonical and is not integrated into the game's lore.
Because of Himmler's experiment with biochemical weapons gone terribly wrong, Burgundy suffered from a massive zombie virus breakout, which effectively brought many dead soldiers back as zombies.
Goebbels' rotten corpse was turned into a zombie as well, and he became the zombies leader, destroyed Himmler and formed a zombie organization in Burgundy, simply known as the Horde.
Now no longer having a complete mind of his own, the zombie Goebbels had become a almost mindless monster with pure cravings of consuming human flesh. Although, some parts of his past self still existed, as he gave a rousing speech to his zombie followers in spite of his rotten vocal cords, shortly before he started his global conquest.
Now, Goebbels' sole purpose, other than conquering the world with his total war, was to literally eat the world's population, spread deadly zombie diseases in order to conquer the world and turn the whole population into zombie.
This effectively caused a total war between humanity and zombies. If Goebbels won, a zombie apocalypse in the process, which ended up having every leaders in the world turned into zombies along with their minions. Soon, Goebbels' zombie conquered the world and fulfilled what he wanted, albeit in a weird and horrifying fashion.
Trivia[]
- Other than Goebbels, the virus that created the Horde also brought back many other figures that died before or during the events of TNO, such as Vladimir Lenin, Josef Stalin, Alexander Kolchak, Benito Mussolini and Roman von Ungern-Sternberg.
- Living TNO leaders that could be zombie-fied (and recruitable into the Horde) included but not limited to Himmler, Thatcher, Auchinleck, Speer, Goering, Bormann, Heydrich, John F. Kennedy, Thurmond, Wallace, Vlasov, Rurik, Lysenko, Yagoda, Dirlewanger and Suharto.
- The Halloween story involving Goebbels turn into an undead is non-canonical. As a result, Goebbels would neither be expected to return from the dead (like all the other posthumous characters), nor had his backstory rewritten in Europas Narben to avert his demise.
- This is presumably due to the meaning and reason behind Goebbels' death. It involved Helldorff's machinations, which would be directly attached with all of the paths in the Reichskommissariat Moskowien.
- Nonetheless, Goebbels is still the only TNO undead villain to date, the only one who could potentially be revived (albeit as a zombie) and brought forth a zombie apocalypse with his return, in spite of his revival being non-canonical.
- In the earlier lore, Goebbels was assassinated by French resistance members in a Paris theater. This was scrapped and reworked following the update of Unfinished Business to attach it with the Moskowien storyline in Europas Narben.
