"We wanted to actually show Hitler's penis," Wolfenstein 2 devs say, but a Bethesda producer said "I don't advise doing that": "We all need to be saved from ourselves sometimes"

Adolf Hitler points a pistol at someone in Wolfenstein 2.

The modern Wolfenstein series is equal parts grim and campy, exploring some very dark subjects with over-the-top bombast. It doesn't shy away from adult material, and honestly I'm not sure which of the following facts is more surprising: that Wolfenstein 2 was originally set to feature full-frontal Hitler penis, or that developer MachineGames was convinced not to pursue the idea.

"We wanted to actually show Hitler's penis as well when he was peeing," studio head Jerk Gustafsson says in a new Noclip documentary, "but that was something that was a little bit too much. So we decided to skip that one."
