Call of the Dead/Radios

There are radios spread across Call of the Dead.

They are actually Audio Dairies recorded by Edward Richtofen during 1940-1945. He states his problems with Dr. Maxis mass-producing the DG-2 and with Samantha, as well as his experiments on Dempsey, Nikolai and Takeo. Note: They must be activated in sequential order like Ascension. There are apparently a total of nine dotted across the map. Only five of these play the audio recordings.

Radio 1
There is a radio located under a garage door near Stamin-Up. It is located to the right past the machine under a door.

"Log entry 1471 Date: September 2nd 1945 Dear diary. Another day, another failure. This time subject N3WB just slightly improved. The Russian subject still smells like urine. even after﻿ he was given a bath and deloused TWICE. I think I might have killed the specimen from Mexico. His spleen is on the floor and and he's not moving anymore. I can verify with certainty that the barrier is not located in the spleen. (static) Dr. Maxis must continue no matter the cost. I wonder what he might think﻿ of the experiments on the little girl. ahahaAHAHAHA. (Monkey screech is heard.) NEIN!! Drop that! That's my Spleen! MINE!"

- Richtofen

This radio refers to Richtofen's experiments on the other three main characters. Subject N3WB is Takeo. The Russian subject is obviously Nikolai. The Mexican subject's identity is unknown, so he might be the blank portrait seen in Kino der Toten. The little girl Richtofen refers to is Samantha, meaning Richtofen experimented on her behind Maxis' back.

Radio 2
There is a radio on top of the Lighthouse, near the Mystery Box spawn.

"Log Entry 1472 Date: September 10th 1945. Deeeear Diary. Today was﻿ a good day. The swelling has subsided, the ice helps. They made leberwurst for lunch. It was (static) I still have not had any luck reprogramming any of the live specimens. Dr. Maxis says the key to unlocking the human mind will be more easily discovered of someone who isn't dead yet. I am not convinced. The army is stored until I can fix this, this trust Barrier. Oh. Apparently someone in security﻿ found a spy today, they are delivering him from Verrückt, to replace the one that I broke (chuckle)."

- Richtofen

The army Richtofen refers to is the zombie army, which has apparently been created without Group 935 perfecting their mind control. The spy found is Peter while the person Richtofen "broke" is the unknown Mexican test subject. Note that the "Trust barrier" Richtofen talks about is also mentioned in the musical easter egg in this map, as the singer says "You can't change me, barriers - our trust will fade."

Radio 3
There is a radio after the ice slide near Speed Cola and the Sickle.

"Log Entry 1473 Date: September 17th 1945. Deeear Diary. Today-"

- Richtofen

"Get your hands off me you damn dirty Nazi.."

- Tank Dempsey

"(Quietly) Uh-oh! Zis doesn't look good..."

- Richtofen

"Yeah, that's right, You want some of this? I'm taking you down freaks!"

- Dempsey

(Inaudible sounds of a scuffle are heard.)

"Nein! Naughty American!"

- Richtofen

"Okay, now I'm mad!"

- Dempsey

"I suppose this must be the replacement then. (Fiendishly) Time to get to work!"

- Richtofen

"I can still hear you!"

- Dempsey

"HIT HIM AGAIN WITH THE STICK!!!"

- Richtofen

This radio depicts Richtofen and Dempsey's first meeting and how Richtofen used torture to break his test subjects.

Radio 4
There is a radio in the ice water underneath the MP-40 on the second half of the ship.

"Log 4174. Date: September 20, 1945. It would seem that the OSS realized that we have captured one of their spies. They tried to send a rescue team to Verrückt that was aw(static). The first batch of test subjects. I suspect that there are others more in the Organization. Dr. Harvey Ener and Dr.Peter McCain to be precise. Dr Maxis doesn't (static) any Americans in Group 935, no matter how much genius they have. Stupid Americans with their apple pies and baseball and children, but I digress. (static) The new American test subject is interesting and muscley. His intellect seems low, but his will is strong. Like the others, he doesn't seem to know who he is anymore. Unlike the others he keeps breaking the restraints and yelling at me.(static) Test subject N3WB is still staring at the floor, muttering what sounds like some kind of proverb over and over again. I think his mind may have been destroyed by the process. Oh well. The Russian subject has recently begun responding to stimuli, but only after injecting him with a new serum made primarily from vodka. Perhaps this is a breakthrough in the-(static)."

- Richtofen

This radio reveals Peter full name to be Dr.Peter McCain. Dr. Harvey Ener might've been the one to leave the radio message to Peter at Shi No Numa. The radio also describes the origins of the characters' attitudes: Tank is always angry and attacks everybody, Takeo remains quiet and recites Japanese proverbs, and Nikolai needs vodka to function.

Radio 5
There is a radio to the left of the Double Tap Root Beer machine.

"Log entry 1475 Date: October 1st, 1945 Deeeeeaar diary, As for the control group tests. they have been put on hold. Recently I discovered that Dr. Maxis has not been mass producing the DG-2 as he swore he would. If he won't move those plans forward, then I won't continue following his dream of an undead army! He doesn't deserve his perch of﻿ power! He doesn't know what to do with it, but I know just what to do with him... and I'll take care of that little brat when I get the chance too..."

- Richtofen

This radio shows Richtofen's descent into madness and his developing hatred of Maxis and Samantha. As Maxis had become distracted by Sophia, his work lagged and he didn't mass-produce the Wunderwaffe-DG2 as promised. Richtofen believed this meant Maxis was no longer able to lead Group 935 and deserved to be replaced by him.
