no problem at all! It is german.
The name Wolfenstein should sound like a typicall german name for a historical castle as the original game was called "Castle Wolfenstein". It literally would mean "Stone of the Wolfs". As id-softs john cormac, who invented the game in 1992, is american and did not consult native germans to help him with translation, there are many hilarious blobs in the game. The most obvious beeing every killed soldier shouting "Mein Leben" -> "my life" loool. Apearing SS villans shout "Schutzstaffel" -> "protection Squad" which would be correct (Schutzstaffel means SS) if not pronounced like "Hüübabbel" -> "*makes no sense at allll*"...
Aaaaah, those where the early days, thanks for bringing back childhood memories!

Wolf 3D wasn't a new invention in '92, but a reinterpretation of the Castle Wollfenstein top-down dungeon/maze series from a decade earlier. I had a C=64/Apple][ version of it on "flippy" disk...

After playing the limited level shareware for frickin 3 years, I actually bought the games last original boxed instance in 1998 and got the original manual with all characters explained!
Else i would have died dumb. its unrecognizable without reading it.
