    The Mad Gasser of Mattoon

    The Mad Gasser of Mattoon

    In September 1944, as World War II raged overseas, the small town of Mattoon, Illinois felt under attack. Dozens of people reported smelling a sickening sweet odor drift into their bedroom at night. It allegedly smelled like gardenias and left them feeling ill and, in some cases, paralyzed. The town’s leading theory was that a madman was running around town spraying a toxic gas through people’s windows at night.

A Wolfenstein Nerddddd ,

The Adolf Hitler episode

Some of this sounds like it would be in Wolfenstein. For example the Nazis finding the ancient technology like when the Nazis found the ancient Jewish technology that is the thing that let the Nazis win Ww2 in Wolfenstein.
