Was it just for the promotional materials or is the actual game full of thinly veiled allusions to the present day

I'm playing it either way I just want to know how fictional it becomes

It ain't Wolfenstein until I'm boxing Hitler understand

It only has allusions if you actually identify with the nazis.

they weren't throwing a fit because you shoot Nazis, it was because they thought it was implying that Trump supporters were like Nazis

I don't remember anything specific in the plot. I might be overlooking something.

There's a bunch of references during the guards dialogue and in the newspapers though. Stuff like Nazi's talking about how their enemies shouldn't be violent and to talk to them if they want peace.

Nobody ever made that allegory. In Wolfenstein 2 Hitler is Hitler.

I don't see how #MakeAmericaNaziFreeAgain implies that Trump is Hitler.

I remember the big controversy was over "These are not very nice people" which is a bit less subtle
