Der Riese/Trivia

==Trivia==
* This map is based on a real top-secret German research facility in Poland, also called Der Riese. The real Der Riese was almost completely underground, and it was the alleged site of development for numerous Nazis wonder weapons, one of which was supposedly the Die Glocke, which is referenced repeately in zombies.
* Intel found in Call of Duty: Black Ops states that a cousin of Lev Kravchenko took part in a massacre at Der Riese. It also states that the massacre resulted in a standoff with American troops.
* On the Central Intelligence Agency Data system in Call of Duty: Black Ops, typing in CAT DERRIESE1.PIC will show concept art of Der Riese, in particular the Animal Test Lab.
* On the poster included with the Rezurrection Map Pack, Der Riese is spelled incorrectly instead spelt as "Der Reise". This translates as "The Travel".
** In the Zombies Chronicles timeline that was released with Call of Duty: Black Ops III, the same misspelling occurs.
* When playing this level on Call of Duty: World At War, the player's status will show you as 'Bathing in Nazi Zombie Blood.'
* When firing an upgraded M1911 or a regular M72 LAW at the moon, the explosions appear on the moon as a white flash.
* Waffenfabrik Der Riese, the words seen on the wall at the beginning of the trailer, are German for "Arms Factory - The Giant". The sign is located near the Automobile Garage while near the Mainframe.
* When a player uses a teleporter, words or phrases written on the walls in the level briefly be seen floating around the screen. The player can also see various close-ups of zombie heads, and sometimes a picture of Richtofen that is seen in the loading screen for Shi No Numa.
* In loading screen for Der Riese, there is a finger in the bottom left corner and in the top right corner there is an eyeball. These were removed in the Call of Duty: Black Ops edition of the map, but the blood from these items remains.
* There is a staircase marked on the loading screen map, located next to Juggernog, that is not present in-game.
* In the Generator room, the player can occasionally hear a metal door slamming.
* The ticking clock above the entrance to the Courtyard reads 1:15, a reference to Element 115.
* The player can occasionally hear children singing near the power generator. It's best heard between rounds when the map is at its quietest.
* The player can occasionally hear a dog whimpering when besides Teleporter B.
* Beside the Mainframe platform, there is writing on the wall that says "Embrace the trinity and true power will be yours." This is hinting to the players that, if you link the three teleporters, it'll open the door to the Pack-a-Punch machine.
* If the player goes prone directly in front of the original four Perk-a-Cola machines, they can earn 25 points. This doesn't work for Mule Kick in the Call of Duty: Black Ops version of the map.
* The shadow of the teddy bear that can be seen from one of the barricades in the Mainframe is created from an actual teddy bear holding a knife.
* The trailer for this map contains errors in firing sounds. Nikolai's PPSh-41, Takeo's Type 100 and Richtofen's STG-44 and MP40 and Dempsey's M1A1 Carbine change their firing sounds.
