Nacht der Untoten

"You drove them deep into the heart of the Reich. You thought they were dead. You were wrong."

- Level description

Nacht der Untoten (German for "Night of the Undead") is the first Nazi Zombies map featured in Call of Duty: World at War and the Zombies series. It was then released on the Hardened and Prestige editions of Call of Duty: Black Ops as well as on the Rezurrection map pack on August 23, 2011. A structure resembling that of the building in Nacht der Untoten can be found in Green Run. Chronologically, it is actually the second map in Zombies after the map Mob of the Dead from Call of Duty: Black Ops II.

Nacht der Untoten is located in an old and destroyed building, where up to four players must defend against an unlimited number of waves of zombies for as long as possible.

Rooms
Nacht Der Untoten contains only three rooms: the Starting Room, the Help Room and the Upstairs Room. The cost of gaining access to these rooms are 1000 points for each pathway.

Starting Room
The Starting Room has five windows where zombies can breach through and also that can be boarded up. It is the largest and most open room on the map. The first is the door to the right of the largest window and has the word "Hell" (unfinished word "Help") written on it. It leads in to the "Help Room". The other path is through the pile of debris located towards the stairs at the center of the room, this path leads upstairs.

Added in Call of Duty: Black Ops, a new perk entitled 'Mule Kick' is available in this room for 4000 points. The Black Ops variant of zombie maps now include Mule Kick in all zombies maps.

Help Room
thumb|300px|right|The radio songs The Help Room has two windows and a wall that leads into a dead-end cave that can be boarded up. It is slightly smaller than the Starting Room, and has a radio (which plays music when knifed or shot). Available on the wall includes the Mystery Box, the Double-Barreled Shotgun, and the Thompson. The only path leading away from this room (aside from the "Help" door) is the debris blocking the path to the upstairs room.

Upstairs Room
The Upstairs Room has four windows and a slight elevation advantage. It is the same size as the Help room, but includes more rubble and debris surrounding the located area, so it is harder to maneuver around this room. This room includes the Sawed-off Double-Barreled Shotgun w/Grip, BAR, M1897 Trench Gun, the Sniper Cabinet and Stielhandgranates.

Call of Duty: Black Ops
This Zombies Map, along with the other three classic Zombies maps, is available in the Hardened and Prestige Editions and the Rezurrection map pack of Call of Duty: Black Ops.

The players play as Tank Dempsey, Nikolai Belinski, Takeo Masaki and Edward Richtofen and are able to use the new weapons of Call of Duty: Black Ops while still being able to use the wall-weapons of the previous game.

Zombies will now also reach through the barricades and attempt to attack the player if they stand right in front of them.

The musical easter egg "Undone" can be activated in Call of Duty: Black Ops by shooting three of the explosive barrels outside of the building.

On September 27, 2011, Mule Kick was added to the map, and was also added to all other maps (excluding Dead Ops Arcade). Located in the Starting Room, it is the only perk in the map.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II
Nacht Der Untoten makes a cameo apppearance in the Call of Duty: Black Ops II zombies map Green Run. It is located in a corn field. Denizens do not spawn inside the building. There are two entrances, one is the window to the left of where the Kar98k used to be bought and the other is to the right of the Kar98k. The Help Room is blocked by debris and the stairs have collapsed, making it only possible to stay in the Starting Room. A part for the Thrustodyne Aeronautics Model 23 (Jet Gun) can be found here. Sometimes a craftable radio can spawn within the building apart from the diner.

Trivia

 * This is the only Zombies map in World at War in which the zombies will not attack the player while taking down barricades. This does not work in Black Ops, however.
 * The song that plays during the game over/scoring screen is called Lullaby For A Dead Man, an Easter Egg song found in the next Map, Verrückt.
 * In World at War, the Thompson price incorrectly states that it costs 1500 points for the weapon, while it is actually 1200.
 * On Treyarch's official site, the Mysterious Radio Transmissions Intelligence says "Ever since the second outbreak at Nacht Der Untoten."

 * In the iOS Version, the players can hear their characters speak by getting three ("I'm gonna bust some heads!"), five ("Back in the dirt!") or seven ("Kick ass!") headshots in a row.
 * When the player opens the door to the Help Room one can see that the door goes into a solid wall then vanishes.
 * This is the only Zombies map that shows a countdown for Insta-Kill and Double Points, although this is only in World at War and iOS app.
 * There is a radio inside the Help Room, next to the Mystery Box, that can play music if the player knifes or shoots at it. It can play various tracks, such as the Black Cats soundtrack, the Red Army theme or the Königgrätzer Marsch.
 * The menu image of Nacht der Untoten, along with the other three World at War maps, is used in the loading screen for Kino der Toten on Black Ops in the style of a comic strip.
