Set during World War II, the games follow William “B.J.” Blazkowicz, an American Army captain, and his fight against the Axis powers. Wikipedia recaps, “Earlier titles are centered around Nazi attempts to harness supernatural and occult forces, while later games are set after the Nazis successfully implement various science fiction technologies to achieve victory in World War II.”
