Albert Grosse

Brigadeführer Albert Grosse is an Überkommandant in the Nazi Party and an assassination target in Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.
== Biography ==
==== Before 1961 ====
Albert Grosse was a well-known soldier with 12 years of service, and was wounded in battle that caused him to receive a blind eye. He was a highly decorated officer for defending a moon base in Antarctica from an attempted attack in 1949, as well as heroism in an incident in Nebraska in 1959, and for killing 2 as well as capturing 12 terrorists in the American Territories. This record allowed him to be placed under the command of General Irene Engel.
==== Assassination ====
Grosse was sent to the New Orleans Lakeview District to salvage the remains of the Zitadelle robot which B.J. had destroyed while the Kreisau Circle had assaulted the ghetto. This was seen as necessary by the military leadership as a cost-cutting method, as a single Zitadelle would cost millions of Reichsmarks to build, so salvage would save military funding. 
However, upon finding the robot's remains, Grosse quickly realized that it was beyond repair. Knowing his men were quickly losing morale on their "junk collector" job, Grosse has been forced to give many motivational speeches to keep their spirits up. Grosse knows that these pep talks are ineffective, and in the "Überkommandant Grosse's e-post" readable, he requests for his superior, Sturmbannführer Hans Wechsler, to transfer his team to a different and more worthwhile assignment.
Ultimately, he is killed by B.J. while he is giving one such speech as part of the latter's efforts to hunt down the Nazi military leadership and pave the way for revolution in the United States.
== Personality ==
Albert Grosse has more character development than most of the Ubercommanders. He is shown to be an effective, influential leader, as indicated by his speech to his soldiers.
== Trivia ==
* His surname, Grosse, is probably a reference to Hans Grosse.
* Even though he is salvaging the remains of the Zitadelle, you don't necessarily have to have destroyed it in order for this mission to exist. In other words, no matter whether you ignore or destroy the robot during the main campaign, this mission will exist in both cases.
* Upon closer inspection of his mugshot, one of his irises is colored differently from the other one. This may imply that he has heterochromia.
