comment
Unclassified Encounter is a horror channel by Simon Andrews, the primary writer for Bedtime Stories (YouTube Channel). Like its sister series, it focuses on various paranormal and supernatural encounters. Unlike the former, though, this channel's episodes are set primarily during World War II, though some side stories do visit other wars and eras.Compare with Wartime Stories, a sister channel that also occasionally focuses on horror-themed paranormal and supernatural encounters set during wartime.Unlike the other two channels, which usually leave it up to the viewer as to whether the stories are true or not, Unclassified Encounter is entirely fictional.

Can't Kill You, Still Need You: Dr. Reische is the last survivor of his German First Aid Camp outside of Stalingrad. His studies of the undead plague’s effect on the body, and the bare-bones hints of finding the first suggestion of a cure, mean that the Russians spare him when they wipe out the rest of the camp, and make it abundantly clear that he only lives so long as he continues his studies and gives them useful information.

Evil Versus Evil: In "PALADIN", the Eldritch Abomination known as Blight ends up facing and being defeated by Lucius, the cannibalistic Immortal Serial Killer from "ELAH". Lucius is a horrible, extremely dangerous person, but Blight is a more immediate threat that won't even pretend to play nice with the Romans.

Dressing as the Enemy: Part of the plot of "Short Story: TOD" involves the Germans using a recently-captured RAF Spitfire as a sort of Judas Goat to pose as a damaged aircraft and lead Luftwaffe planes in to wipe them out. The ghost of the Spitfire's original pilot proved to be a Spanner in the Works for that, though...

 Unclassified Encounter (Web Animation) / int_192ba729
comment
Older Is Better: In "Short Story: BOQ", the much older spears, shields, and tomahawks wielded by the Chinooks and their White hunter allies prove to be much better at dealing lethal blows to the Boq than the modern rifles they were also using against it. It probably helps that these older weapons were blessed by the tribe's medicineman against supernatural threats like the aforementioned Boq, as well as the larger and much deeper wounds they can inflict.

comment
Ancient Evil: Quite a few of the horrors in the series are at least several hundred years old: Father Camus' diary claims the demon from Episode 2 was confronted by French knights centuries ago, but it may be far older than that. Exactly how old the Morgen is, or where it came from, is never mentioned, but Alonzo Molina was far from its first victim even back in 1585. The immortal cannibalistic Serial Killer Lucius first learned about his immortality almost two thousand years ago. Blight takes the cake, it has been around since long before humanity, from a time of "Mighty dragons".

The Virus: Anyone bitten by a Wendigo will become one themselves. By the time the 551st finds the horde, they’re well over 50 strong, and it’s implied they may kick off something like a Zombie Apocalypse if they’re not stopped. The Living Dead from Episode 12 work the same way, transforming their victims into another of their number after killing them.

Humanoid Aliens
 Unclassified Encounter (Web Animation) / int_1e669b8e
comment
Humanoid Aliens: The alien attacking the British airbase in "Episode 3: NERTHOL" is revealed to have a humanoid figure and shape, though it's not revealed initially if he looked human underneath the suit he wore. A subsequent "Operation Hengis" video goes into more detail. Dr. Owens claims the alien is humanoid in appearance, with the same size and proportions of an adult man, but is very different internally. Not only are parts of its body robotic, but several of its systems – in particular, what are believed to be its respiratory, digestive, and sensory organs – have atrophied to be almost useless. Dr. Owens thinks they’re the result of the alien suit taking over for all these functions, but isn’t sure if it’s a trait of the species, or of this individual.

Deal with the Devil
 Unclassified Encounter (Web Animation) / int_1fc8335e
comment
Deal with the Devil: The second episode's titular Covenant is a relatively harmless one. Once upon a time, the parishioners of the French village succeeded in making a deal with the demon - keep it fed in exchange for staying quiet in its cave. Once a week, the local priest purchased a lamb and left it for the demon to consume. However, he died in a bombing run without ever telling anyone the details. While the next priest found his diary and tried to arrange for a continuation of the covenant, it's made abundantly clear the demon considered the deal broken the instant it felt hungry and there was no food for it to consume. Episode 15: BES features a more gruesome one. The titular demon makes a bargain with a desperate and doomed German priest about to be killed by Cossacks on the eastern front in northwestern Russia, promising a long life if he submits to it. After he's killed a minute later, it brings his body back to life and goes on a rampage against the Cossacks in the area.

 Unclassified Encounter (Web Animation) / int_1fcda164
comment
Latin Is Magic: In "Short Story: ANATHEMA", a Latin phrase is found among the papers in the escaped prisoners' clothes: "Et nunc flammam advoco qui percutiet omnes ante me states et nunquam exstinguant". In English, it means "And now, I summon forth a flame that shall smite all who stand before me, and never extinguish". When recited in Latin before the specially-tattooed POWs, they immediately burst into a horrifying green flame.

 Unclassified Encounter (Web Animation) / int_21e5b9c7

Failed a Spot Check: A pretty major one in "Episode 9: HENGIS (Pt.1)". The Germans have been made aware that SOMETHING is completely wiping out entire Luftwaffe squadrons over the English Channel, and have deployed boats and subs around the British coast to watch as Hengis retreats, in order to see where it goes after battle. Brudenell is so mentally taxed from his time in the suit he doesn’t even notice them.

Muggles Do It Better
 Unclassified Encounter (Web Animation) / int_21eb1793
comment
Muggles Do It Better: Quite often, the supernatural and otherworldly threats in the series are countered by WWII-era military hardware, and a bit of know-how or luck. The Demon in Episode 2 is literally cut in two by an MG42. The water-breathing Atlanteans are terrifyingly effective against Navy vessels of all stripes, but are hopeless against an aerial attack. The Luftwaffe bomb one of their super-subs into oblivion with ease. The Wendigo horde in Episode 4 are wiped out by the first somewhat-prepared military company they face, with flamethrowers proving particularly effective. The Morgen is destroyed by a well-aimed panzerschreck, ending its control of its undead "puppets". The ancient Worm That Walks Hive Mind insect horde named Blight is released from its sealed cave smack into a German artillery bombardment, and quickly obliterated. An entire horde of living dead infesting Stalingrad are wiped out by two companies of elite Siberian soldiers with training to destroy the undead quickly and effectively. Probably the most stunning example comes at the end of "Short Story: JIG", where the commander of a Kriegsmarine base foresees an Atlantean rescue mission, and deliberately plans for it. The commander waits until the majority of the rescue force has already entered the mountain base, sacrifices a token force to keep them from getting suspicious, stays inside the command center far away from the Atlantean prisoner’s holding cell, and finally pulls a Wounded Gazelle Gambit so the Atlantean sub would grow complacent and surface in range of four hidden howitzers. The sub is obliterated, and the Atlanteans inside the base find themselves surrounded and becoming new prisoners to be studied. What’s more, it’s all but stated from the events of other episodes that the Nazis succeeded in reverse-engineering the Atlantean tech to make at least one super-sub of their own, along with a platoon of super-advanced frogmen.

Gas Mask Mooks: Private McIlhenney in "BRUCKE" runs into a few after walking through the strange mist. Justified, since they're German stormtroopers from late WWI. Inverted in "Short Story: GEDROCHT"; the leader of the lunatics is the only one of them wearing a gas mask. Said mask is decorated with a pair of short horns. John Gregory apparently developed a fixation on his gas mask when he was the only member of his company who could get it on in time to survive a gas attack. Years later, he seldom takes it off.

That said, he's still not totally sympathetic, since he doesn't even try to pretend he's not deserting.

comment
The Cavalry Arrives Late: In "Episode 8: APEX", a group of paratroopers from Fort Bragg storm the area when Officer Mitchell calls in an emergency. By the time they arrive, though, Katsuro has already been killed by the swamp creature. In "Short Story: HUAKA'I PO", the American soldiers who were summoned by Billy's message on the radio at the beginning don't turn up until after the Night Marchers leave.

The Bad Guy Wins: Downplayed. "Episode 5: ELAH" ends with Captain Krancke of the Admiral Scheer being successful in sinking most of the British convoy he was targeting, ultimately escaping and evading the convoy's escorts to continue terrorizing Allied convoys again in the future. His real-life counterpart will go on to be awarded for sinking the Jervis Bay. However, the immortal Serial Killer either drowns, or is trapped at the bottom of the ocean, unable to die.

Hollywood Acid: There’s quite a lot of it, in various huge vats all over the Lazur Facility. Worse, the majority of it has long since spilled in the events of the last few months, rendering the area a Polluted Wasteland and making the floor into weak, vaguely-traversable Swiss cheese.

Hero with Bad Publicity: The second parish priest of the French village in "Episode 2: COVENANT" ends up becoming this to the rest of his village after the Fallschirmjager kill the demon rampaging the area, as he and the Germans both made an agreement to keep the whole matter a secret amongst themselves until the day they died. To the local populace, they only remember his as a German collaborator and sympathizer, especially since he allowed the bodies of several fallen Germans to be buried in the church's cemetery.

Impeded Communication: The RAF Drem Black Site was chosen due to strict limits on radio communication, keeping the Germans from finding out about HENGIS. Unfortunately, this means that there’s almost no oversight on the project, and a flight sergeant had to smuggle a confession of the Awful Truth about how bad things really were in a letter to his mother.

Even Evil Has Standards: The Fallschirmjager squad leader who ultimately kills the demon terrorizing the French village may be working for the cruellest of all fascist dictatorships, but even he knows that bringing back the demon's corpse to Berlin to be studied is a terrible idea, so he orders his men to torch the corpse without second thought, which they do. Even his immediate superior, the German Captain, agrees to this, and keeps the details regarding the operation classified so as not to attract unwanted attention.

Stable Time Loop: Short stories “BRUCKE� and “ZYKLISCH� form one. An American soldier in the trenches of WWI witnesses another American in a strange uniform materialize out of a strange purple fog. The stranger manages to take down a number of German Stormtroopers, then vanishes into the fog once more with a German prisoner, leaving behind an old pistol. The soldier who witnessed all this takes the pistol for himself, and in the years that follow, is disturbed when his son grows up to eerily resemble the stranger, and then enlists in the army. His last act before his son leaves is to give him the old pistol the stranger left behind. His son goes off to WWII, and finds himself wreathed in a strange purple fog during one battle. In the fog, he suddenly comes across a number of German stormtroopers dressed like those from WWI…

Manipulative Bastard: Lucius' involvement with the Scottish Bean Clan turned out to be part of an elaborate plot: he somehow manipulated a lowly clan of brigands and thieves into becoming a Cannibal Clan, supplying him with a number of bodies in the process. Then, he went to the authorities, and offered to take care of the problem in exchange for a plot of land in England. He singlehandedly wiped most of the clan out, brought the remainder to justice, got his land, and then vanished from history again.

Spoiler Title: The Borda is a real mythological figure, a murderous old crone from the legends of the Po Valley in Italy. Anyone reading the title of "BORDA" and knowing of her will almost certainly know the real identity of the mysterious old woman the Italians take captive. Likewise, the Huakaʻi p� ("Night Marchers") are real figures from Hawaiian mythology, the ghosts of ancient warriors who walk on old Hawaiian trails at night. When Billy Kekoa and the Japanese submariner start hearing strange sounds in the Hawaiian forest at night, people who've read the title "HUAKA'I PO" and heard the stories of the Night Marchers will probably know who's approaching right away.

Played straighter with the Chinook medicine man from "BOQ". He recognizes the Boq's handiwork, and provides the hunting party with ceremonial spears, shields, arrows, blades, and light armor to fight against the Boq.

Fish out of Temporal Water: In "BRUCKE", Private McIlhenney is a bit confused by his arrival into the trenches of WWI, but he manages to survive long enough to return. The German soldier he brings back with him as a POW seems even more baffled, having been thrown from 1918 to 1944.

The Coroner Doth Protest Too Much: Justified. In "Episode 5: ELAH", the ship's doctor examines the corpse of a sailor who was stabbed repeatedly in the stomach with a screwdriver and declares it a suicide brought on by inebriation. The problem is that the doctor himself is the murderer.

comment
Body Horror: The Borda turns a Brazilian POW into a shambling mass of shifting flesh with Combat Tentacles, dragging the Italian soldiers into itself and absorbing their biomass. It's heavily hinted that the horror took the form of one of the Italian soldiers after the rampage was over, and did same to a group of retreating German soldiers.

The Farmer and the Viper: Detective Heide in "Short Story: CAEDES" actually tried to defend the mysterious young man the posse found, pointing out that the evidence of him being the killer was circumstantial and wobbly at best. When the young man comes back to the hotel room after the posse apparently killed him, Heide is the only one who isn’t killed immediately, but that’s only because he’s Forced to Watch the other three die, and then the killer claims he has even more gruesome plans for him.

Our Demons Are Different: The main antagonist of "Episode Two: COVENANT" is a red, winged demon that lives in a cave in the French countryside, regularly offered cattle by the local parish priest. However, when the current priest is killed in a British bombing raid, the demon begins attacking pets, livestock, French civilians, and German occupation forces at random.

Not Using the "Z" Word: The living dead in "Episode 10: PURGATORY" and the short stories around the events of that episode are pretty standard Hollywood-fare zombies, but neither the narration nor the characters ever use that term. Justified in-universe, as it's still decades before non-voodoo zombies become familiar in pop culture.

Elite Zombie: Some of the undead in the Lazur Facility have been marinating in deadly acid, making their bodies horribly corrosive and their grasp potentially deadly in its own right. Others have had helmets bolted to their heads and snow goggles over their eyes, and made to wear heavy winter jackets – light armor that neutralizes the fast, efficient bayonetting tactics of the Siberians and forces them to switch to firearms.

Wounded Gazelle Gambit: The HMS Mendacious' main strategy, as a Q-Ship. The vessel is essentially a disproportionately well-armed, refitted fishing trawler. It would fake engine trouble on patrols, and when a U-Boat would surface to try to capture it, they’d be met with a fearsome amount of gunfire.

Enemy Mine: "Episode 1: MENDACIOUS" has the surviving German sailors of the stricken U-Boat team up with the British sailors of the titular patrol boat in taking down the mysterious men in diving suits attacking them. This happens a couple times, with Axis and Allied forces occasionally banding together to take down mutual immediate threats. It happens again in "Episode 7: MORGEN". In “PURGATORY: PERSPECTIVE�, a Russian sniper briefly warns some of his German counterparts about the undead approaching them from behind on a different rooftop by shooting the approaching ghouls.

Zombie Apocalypse: One is at risk of happening in the Ardennes Forest during the Battle of the Bulge, except, instead of actual zombies, it's from Wendigos capable of turning their victims into more of the creatures. Thankfully, members of the 551st PIR prevent the monsters from breaking out of the wooded area they're holed up in. Later, in "Episode 12: PURGATORY", it's revealed that the Soviets deliberately unleashed a small horde of zombies on Stalingrad in November 1942 as the city fell to the Nazis. The Nazis, completely unfamiliar with their undead foes, lost the city to the zombies in a matter of weeks. The Soviets then took the city back with a relatively small number of elite Siberian troops who knew how to dispatch the undead with incredible efficiency.

Heroic Sacrifice: In Episode 2, Bertram Engel distracts the demon from killing Father Masson, and is promptly killed for his efforts, but it gives Father Masson enough time to flee with only minor injuries. In Episode 5, the HMS Jervis Bay, a merchant cruiser and the convoy’s only real defense makes one. While she’s completely outmatched and quickly destroyed by the Admiral Scheer, she manages to throw up a smokescreen and during her struggle, one lucky shot smashes her opponent’s radar tower, reducing the warship’s ability to fight and letting most of the convoy's ships escape. Immediately after, the crew of the cargo vessel Beaverford. After the Jervis Bay is sunk by the Admiral Scheer, she sees the Bickleigh Bridge is a sitting duck, steaming obliviously ahead towards the warship for no apparent reason. She uses the smokescreen thrown up by the Jervis Bay to her advantage, weaving in and out of the smoke while firing to be as much of an annoyance to the Admiral Scheer as possible. While she's ultimately also destroyed, several other cargo vessels managed to get further away, and the Bickleigh Bridge managed to launch her lifeboats.

The Extremist Was Right: Soviet NKVD Col. Sorokin from "PURGATORY: Contingency" takes some pretty major steps to ensure the undead horde doesn't leave Stalingrad during the seige, including sinking Russian ships trying to rescue their possibly-infected comrades - and ones that ignore his orders out of horror at what he's willing to do. That said, it's at least partly due to his actions that the living dead never escape Stalingrad.

Insane Admiral: The Drem base commander leading Operation HENGIS, stubbornly refusing to believe the risks associated with Britain's acquisition of the alien artifact (up to ignoring Brudenell's and his treating doctor's warnings of the horrid mental cost and the messages the artifact's makers keep sending), stuck in the notion he deserves more funding and skilled scientists than the very few he's been assigned, and obsessed with using the machine at its fullest capacity against the Germans. Worse, he uses it exclusively as a One-Man Army, making it clear to the enemy that not only is it unique, he has no concept of operational security.

Meaningful Name: The British Q-ship in the first episode is named HMS Mendacious, an adjective that means "not telling the truth", a fitting name for a repurposed fishing boat meant to fake engine trouble to draw in and then sink U-Boats.

Making a Splash: The Atlanteans in "Short Story: JIG" use some kind of technology to slam a Giant Wall of Watery Doom into the Kriegsmarine base, which is built into the side of a mountain. The tunnels inside are subjected to Rising Water, Rising Tension as the Atlanteans invade, wiping out the guards. When their sub is destroyed, the water drains out of the mountain fairly quickly.

The Undead
 Unclassified Encounter (Web Animation) / int_70c06a09
comment
The Undead: In "Episode 7: MORGEN", A horde of them lurk beneath the surface of the reservoir, controlled by the Morgen. Some seem to have been down there for a very long time. In "Episode 10: PURGATORY", the Soviets unleash a Plague Zombie horde into Stalingrad to stop the approaching Nazi forces. They follow modern Hollywood Zombie rules, being mindless shambling Flesh-Eating Zombie-types who are slowly decaying and can only be put down by Removing the Head or Destroying the Brain. They stop the Nazi advance in its tracks, as they have absolutely no experience with the monsters, and by the time they do, the city is already overrun. They're finally taken down by elite Siberian soldiers with training for dealing with them. Where they came from is a mystery, though a later video mentions they were first encountered by the Russians during the 1929 Sino-Soviet Conflict.

Godzilla Threshold
 Unclassified Encounter (Web Animation) / int_72856b70
comment
Godzilla Threshold: The Wendigo spell is treated as this; a last resort for only the most desperate or dishonorable warriors. It turns the invoker into a monster with supernatural speed, strength, and endurance, in order to destroy those responsible for its creation. Unfortunately, the change is irreversible, puts the user through some intensely painful Transformation Horror, and subjects them to an overwhelming Horror Hunger that wipes out their higher brain functions and eliminates their ability to know or care who their friends are… and that’s before the fact that biting a victim passes the curse on. Even after the Nazis besieged Stalingrad for three solid months, the Soviets only deployed the living dead once it became clear that the city was about to fall anyway. Given that the undead are shown to be a threat to any living thing once they’re turned, they’re clearly an extreme danger to use as a weapon.

Big Bad Ensemble: "Episode Five: ELAH" has two major threats that the British crew are dealing with, a Serial Killer terrorizing the ship and taking out random crew members over a period of days, and the Captain of the German Heavy Cruiser Admiral Scheer, who intends to sink as many British merchant ships as possible before returning to friendly waters. Both parties are not cooperating whatsoever in their shared goal of killing the British, and both remain unaware of the other's existences throughout the episode.

Subverted in "Short Story: GEDROCHT". The Ensington Strappers - the remains of a small criminal gang from England - volunteered to join the army en masse in an attempt to stick together. Their leader, Carl Anslow, has his weak-willed commanding officer wrapped around his finger at the start of the story.

And finally, their vision becomes bright yellow. And the worst part? The victim is completely aware of their loss of humanity and turn into a vicious cannibalistic monster.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: the backstory for "Episode 10: EXTIRPATE". The initial Allied bombardment of the abbey was intended to soften up the place in their imminent struggle against any Axis soldiers that dwelt within. Unfortunately, they only succeeded in wiping out the unarmed refugees who were actually holed up within, and the Axis soldiers walked right in AFTER the bombardment, since the ground around it had been reduced to a barren waste without any cover, making it harder to take. Oops.

Stupid Jetpack Hitler: It becomes clear by the end of "Short Story - BRUCKE", that the strange purple gas seen by the US Private and his German prisoner is a top-secret Nazi wonder-weapon, given that a German half-track is seen deploying canisters of the substance near the frontline as a field test, with a Luftwaffe Officer taking down notes on the events that had just transpired. Subverted in the "Ten Wonder Weapons that helped Germany lose World War II" episode, where the Nazis develop several novel and revolutionary ideas and concepts that ultimately prove useless for different reasons. Unlike other episodes, this one is entirely non-fictional. It seems the Nazis had more success handling the sub-mariner tech than the British had with the alien tech; the armored frogmen that sank the HMS Ellice have clear Nazi tattoos and symbols on beneath their armor.

comment
BFG: A few examples thus far. The MG42 wielded by the Fallschirmjager squad in "Episode Two: Covenant", is the largest of the small arms brought by the Germans to deal with the demon threat. It proves its worth when it effortlessly shreds the creature apart in a few bursts. The M2 Browning Heavy Machine Gun wielded by the members of the 551st PIR are even bigger, capable of killing dozens of Wendigos in only a few bursts. And it's thanks to the gunners of these weapons that the monster threat is contained. The German Grenadiers in "Morgen" make use of a Panzerschreck to terminate the swamp creature controlling the zombie horde with extreme prejudice. Earlier in the same episode, one of the British paratroopers brings a vehicle-mounted turret to bear against the undead. It rips through their numbers, but the heavy recoil quickly snaps the tethers connecting it to the plane and it rolls into the water. The Svalbard Kriegsmarine Black Site in "Short Story: JIG" has four massive howitzer turrets aimed into the bay directly in front of the base. Together, they manage to obliterate an Atlantean sub in less than two minutes. BFS: Katsuro’s main weapon is an oversized katana. Later, he also employs a pair of huge Tanto blades against the swamp creature.

Power Armor: The alien's strange full-body suit is an unusual example; it appears to be made of some kind of "smart fibers" or nanotechnology that can knit together wounds, gives the wearer enormous amounts of information about the surrounding area, and is tough enough to protect them from weapons up to and including firebombs with the wearer barely noticing. That said, a strong, abrupt attack CAN overwhelm it and kill the occupant.

 Unclassified Encounter (Web Animation) / int_8b606a51
comment
There Is No Kill Like Overkill: The most common solution to taking out any of the paranormal or supernatural threats attacking the soldiers is to use heavy weapons such as flamethrowers, machine guns, and even artillery pieces. Justified, considering the various supernatural and paranormal threats encountered in the series are either stronger than an average soldier or sailor, or wield technology that is decades ahead of their own, so carrying weapons capable of killing in one hit are absolutely necessary.

Holy Burns Evil: The Chinook are far more familiar with using guns than the old ceremonial spears, bows, and tomahawks that the medicine man gave them, and initially default to using them when the Boq attacks. Unfortunately, the guns don’t seem to do much damage against the invisible beast, and the older ceremonial weapons end up being far more effective. A spear stuck in the monster’s shoulder is the first thing that actually seems to hurt it, as it can’t maintain its invisibility after that point.

Asshole Victim

comment
Asshole Victim: Nobody mourned the German Major who was killed by the demon, considering he had ordered a reprisal and massacre of French civilians despite them being innocent and had refused to heed the parish priest's warnings. In addition, the demon's first two human victims were a pair of lowlife poachers with a very bad reputation. The Nazis killed by the Golems during the Dresden bombings were responsible for a number of heinous crimes both prior to and during the war, including the burning down of the city's old synagogue. Col. Alexander sees the live test subjects of the Hengis weapons experiments as this, as they were taken from high-security prisons, serving life sentences. That said, it's shown in-story that at least one of them was an innocent man deliberately framed as a murderer after killing a monster, leaving it up in the air as to how many were actually Killed to Uphold the Masquerade. Col. Alexander himself, who's been absolutely horrible to everyone under his command from the get-go, is killed by Nazi spy Billy Schmidt during his getaway.

Glamour Failure: It turns out the Boq's invisibility is the result of the monster psychically messing with peoples' perception of it, and it's neutralized for anyone touching one of the medicine shields prepared by the Chinook medicine man. When one man manages to hit it in the shoulder with a spear, it’s distracted by the pain and drops the magic, letting everyone see it.

comment
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: A formation of British Vickers Wellington bombers are attacked by a Luftwaffe night-fighter squadron, and end up off-course and forced to drop their payload over the French countryside outside of Paris. These stray bombs kill several locals, including the parish priest watching over a town. Unfortunately, this priest was the only thing keeping a demon from going on rampages against the local populace, and without him, the demon soon turns its sights onto both the locals and the Germans... An unnamed Native American soldier is caught in an ambush by Waffen-SS grenadiers. Out of desperation, he recites a magical phrase that ends up turning him into a Wendigo, allowing him to wipe out his attackers. Unfortunately for the soldier, the Curse cannot be reversed, anyone bitten or scratched by him also turns into a Wendigo, and the Wendigo spirit itself doesn't distinguish between friendly and enemy.

Kill It with Fire: The US M2 Flamethrower is used to devastating effect not on German or Japanese soldiers, but on a pack of Wendigos attacking a group of American paratroopers in Belgium. Fire and smoke are the most effective weapons the Romans have against the creature known as Blight in PALADIN, usually employed by setting fire to fields and grasslands. It is also stated to be unable to move through heavy rainfalls, which the Romans note is a good thing, as they can't employ their normal tactics during such storms.

Traumatic Superpower Awakening: Lucius discovered his abilities when he was a Roman Legionnaire, after a devastating German ambush in the depths of the Teutoburg Forest. Weakened by hunger, mortally wounded, and trapped under a fallen warrior, he began eating the dead man on top of him out of desperation. To his own shock, he discovered that the act rejuvenated him and healed his wounds. This also counts as his Start of Darkness, as he started doing it again and again.

One-Man Army: The alien being in "Episode Three: NERTHOL" makes quick and easy work of every single British tank, plane, and soldier sent against it, destroying an entire RAF airbase. Eventually, an entire battalion is sent against it, and the alien ends up wiping out their artillery support effortlessly. The "Operation: HENGIS" follow-ups show that the Drem commander took to using Brudenell, the man who bonded with the alien's suit after its death, in the same capacity, to his physical and mental detriment.

Weak, but Skilled
 Unclassified Encounter (Web Animation) / int_9eb11fac
comment
Weak, but Skilled: In his duel with Lucius in “Short Story: ATTACCARE�, Dorn proves to be this. He originally held Lucius’ Cannibalism Superpower, which Lucius somehow “stole� from him after partially eating him in the Teutoborg Forest. Dorn retained some of it, but his Healing Factor was far weaker afterwards. Lucius had no idea he still existed, so when they meet once more in Libya in 1911, Dorn – who had been training specifically for this battle – initially overwhelms the unprepared Lucius, who had largely relied on his Healing Factor for ages. Lucius only comes out on top by turning it into a Mutual Kill, which he recovers from more quickly.

"PALADIN" reveals that Lucius the cannibal from "ELAH" has one, which he takes advantage of by allowing Blight to try and devour him from the inside before dousing himself in flammable oil and setting himself alight. When the fire goes out, all that remains is a charred corpse, but he quickly recovers.

However, once their victim is dead, they will turn on him if he cannot banish them by completely cleaning the gem quickly, each use of the gem weakens him a little more, and the shadows are made of those he has killed using the gem - meaning every time he summons them, there are more of them. As of 1957, he's hoping interest in him runs out soon, because otherwise, it's only a matter of time before they overwhelm him.

Mobile Fishbowl: The water-breathing Atlanteans' armored, hooded suits are compared to diving gear, with hoses designed to pump seawater into their helmets. The suits are covered in strange symbols, hinted to be part of an unknown language. Their massive submersible vessel apparently works as a giant one of these, partly rising above the water at one point.

comment
The Neidermeyer: The German Major commanding the local garrison turns out to be this, as he refuses to listen to reasoning from both the French police and the local parish priest, and immediately assumes that the perpetrator who killed a few of his men are members of the French resistance hiding out in the nearby village despite the police chief and priest having come to him for assistance in solving several murders only a few days ago. He eventually pays for these actions with his life, when the demon actually responsible for the killings makes him the next victim.

Meanwhile, Officer Otto Kleist and the SS argue for pulling out immediately, as they will not be kindly received if the Russians reach their position.

Cannibalism Superpower: The ship's doctor in "ELAH" is a serial killer who has been alive since the Roman Empire, who consumes the flesh of his victims to maintain his youth. Moreover, the doctor - Lucius - unknowingly took this power from another man, named Dorn, when he ate part of him in desperation centuries before. Dorn lost his ability to fully heal in the process, and began hunting Lucius down in an attempt to regain it.

Hope Spot: 2nd Lieutenant Mallinson in "Episode 4: MALEDICTION" awakens after the fight, tremendously thirsty. Unfortunately, as he discovers when he fruitlessly empties his canteen, the thirst and hunger only grow, revealing him as the last infectee of the Wendigo curse, and forcing his squadmates to put him down. He feebly hopes he managed to thank them for releasing him, but it's implied the curse robbed him of even this meager satisfaction.

Outside-Context Problem: While one could argue the entire series is this, four stand out the most: "Episode 1: MENDACIOUS" has a British Q-Ship hunting U-Boats end up having to team up with the surviving crew of a U-Boat to fight a mysterious third faction targeting ships from both sides. "Episode 5: ELAH" has a cargo ship in an Atlantic convoy have to deal with an immortal serial killer on-board while the convoy is under attack by a German ship. "Episode 6: ANIMUS" has a German police captain dealing with a Golem that is hunting down specific Nazis as revenge for their crimes against the Jews during the Bombing of Dresden. "Episode 7: MORGEN" has a group of British soldiers fight off a swamp creature and its zombie army after their glider crashed into a dyke, with a group of German Soldiers soon entering the same area and being forced to fight the same threat. "Episode Eight: APEX" focuses on a Japanese Super-Soldier wreaking havoc on the West Coast of America, killing civilians and cops to cause chaos. Then a Swamp Monster shows up and kills him.note The Swamp Monster was mentioned as a local legend briefly earlier in the video, with a civilian being reminded of the stories when she sees the super soldier at night

Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act
 Unclassified Encounter (Web Animation) / int_cdc4a218
comment
Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act: This turns out to be very much a thing, to the point where a number of time travelers went back to the 1940s to prevent at least one of the many, many assassination attempts on his life from being successful. Moreover, at least some of them were caused by a rogue time-traveler’s attempt to Set Right What Once Went Wrong by assassinating Hitler... Not to prevent the holocaust or the war, but to stop the war partway through and elicit a more comfortable deal for Germany and prevent its division during the Cold War.

In "Episode 10: PURGATORY", the Soviets unleash a Plague Zombie horde into Stalingrad to stop the approaching Nazi forces. They follow modern Hollywood Zombie rules, being mindless shambling Flesh-Eating Zombie-types who are slowly decaying and can only be put down by Removing the Head or Destroying the Brain. They stop the Nazi advance in its tracks, as they have absolutely no experience with the monsters, and by the time they do, the city is already overrun. They're finally taken down by elite Siberian soldiers with training for dealing with them. Where they came from is a mystery, though a later video mentions they were first encountered by the Russians during the 1929 Sino-Soviet Conflict.

Despair Event Horizon: In "Episode 6: ANIMUS", Inspector Kohler's wife was broken after both their sons were killed in the war, and apparently withered to nothing shortly after.

History Repeats: The situation in "Short Story: GEDROCHT" starts off eerily similar to the events of Episode 11: CUSTODIAN, with a series of nocturnal attacks in northeastern Belgium on sentries some distance from the front lines… but almost thirty years earlier. It’s eventually shown that the two incidents are indeed connected.

From Nobody to Nightmare: Katsuro is heavily hinted to have started his life as an unassuming farm boy in a rural community. By the time the story takes place, he’s become a hulking behemoth of a superweapon. It's heavily hinted that Corporal Anslow from "Short Story: GEDROCHT" became the mysterious hermit seen in "Custodian" who sicced a massive hybrid dog on the Nazis.

Not Quite Dead: In "Episode 8: APEX", after getting slammed against the side of his patrol car, Officer Mitchell is knocked out and badly injured. He comes to after Katsuro leaves, and radios in for backup. Later,Katsuro actually seems to beat the swamp creature, and leaves it motionless as he turns to finish off Lavinia… only it seems the monster was Playing Possum, and it takes the opportunity to attack him from behind.

On the other side, the Nazis have a Kreigsmarine research base in Svalbard, where the researchers are reverse-engineering captured Atlantean tech, and holding a few captured Atlanteans prisoner as of late 1941.

Clingy Costume: Neither Brudenell nor the RAF could figure out how to remove the alien costume from his body. He could not eat, drink, sleep, or use the bathroom while inside. While the suit apparently took care of these needs, his Sleep Deprivation caused some Sanity Slippage. His trips up in the Hengis made things worse, bordering on Cybernetics Eat Your Soul. By the end, he was Driven to Suicide.
