New Orleans

New Orleans is a major United States port and the largest city and metropolitan area in the state of Louisiana.
It is well known for its distinct French and Spanish Creole architecture, as well as its cross-cultural and multilingual heritage. New Orleans is also famous for its cuisine, music (particularly as the birthplace of jazz), and its annual celebrations and festivals, most notably Mardi Gras, dating to French colonial times. The city is often referred to as the "most unique" in the United States.
New Orleans is located in southeastern Louisiana and developed on both sides of the Mississippi River. The heart of the city and French Quarter is on the north side of the river as it curves through this area. The city and Orleans Parish (French: Paroisse d'Orléans) are coterminous. The city and parish are bounded by the parishes of St. Tammany to the north, St. Bernard to the east, Plaquemines to the south, and Jefferson to the south and west. Lake Pontchartrain, part of which is included in the city limits, lies to the north and Lake Borgne lies to the east.
New Orleans was founded in the Spring of 1718 (7 May has become the traditional date to mark the anniversary, but the actual day is unknown) by the French Mississippi Company, under the direction of Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville, on land inhabited by the Chitimacha. It was named for Philippe II, Duke of Orléans, who was Regent of the Kingdom of France at the time. The title came from the French city of Orléans.

Prior to 1952 the city was controlled by the Nazis; however, growing civil unrest led the Nazis to desolate the city and transform it into its present, despoiled state. By May 1952, a massive wall was built using slave labor that transformed the city into massive open air prison for undesirables of the Nazi Regime. 
In September 1960, Hurricane Greta hit New Orleans leaving it in ruins, and barely livable. 
The New Orleans Resistance Cell, led by Horton, is one of the few surviving American Resistance cells resisting the Nazi regime. 
As part of the transformation and Germanization of the occupied American territories. General Engel sent in Einsatzgruppen (Death Squads) to patrol the streets (or the air from miniature drop-zeppelins), accompanied by Panzerhunds and Zitadelles. Under the pretense of providing humanitarian aid after Hurrican Greta, they were used to cleanse the surviving inhabitants of the Ghetto and eliminate the New Orleans Resistance Cell. Propaganda plans were released showcasing the transformation of the ghetto New Orleans into the showcase planned city of Neu Orleans, memorializing the Nazi takeover of American.
New Orleans is divided into the Confinement Wall district, the Ghetto district, the Bienville Street district and the Lakeview district.
The area is also shown to be infested with crocodiles, with both Nazi soldiers and resistance members having to be cautious about their presence.
After the event of New Colossus, the area of the New Orleans ghetto is now irradiated from the nuclear blast caused by the Eva's Hammer during its escape from the Ausmerzer. New Orleans was also where B.J. successfully assassinated Übercommanders, Daniel Eckstein, Albert Grosse, Otto Ackermann and Victor Kreuger.
