This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

Math time! What do you get when you take Team Fortress 2 and add WWII?

Answer: this.

Cut Weapons

Fg42 and Fg42Scoped

The famous side-loading German paratrooper's rifle, and marksman variant, were supposed to make a return but were both cut from the final game. These weapon were supposed to be usable by German paratroopers like that of the first game, but the faction these weapons were made for were also removed. All that remains of these guns are their sound entries inside game_sounds_weapons.txt. Interestingly all the reload sounds of the two are set to that of the Thompson, although these were likely a placeholder as the other cut weapons share the same reload sounds.

K43

The K43 semi-automatic rifle for the Germans was apparently destined to make a return in DoD:S but was removed for unknown reasons as it likely would have been a good counter to the M1 Garand. All that remains of this gun is its sound entries inside game_sounds_weapons.txt. This weapon also features placeholder reload sounds like the FG-42.

Luger

The iconic German sidearm was apparently also going to be featured in the game but was removed with only its audio entry remaining. Interestingly, the weapon uses the same sounds as the in-game P38 possibly suggesting it may have been the original sidearm of choice for the Wehrmacht.

Greasegun

The iconic American SMG, the "Grease Gun" was supposed to make a return but was scrapped with only its audio entry remaining. The presence of a Grease Gun in the files could have also meant that an American paratrooper faction was going to be added as well but was also cut.

Mortar

It would seem the cut mortar class of the original Day Of Defeat was possibly going to be featured in Day Of Defeat Source but like its predecessor, was cut before release. Interestingly, this is the only cut weapon that seemingly had a completely unique sound set, including reload sounds.

Unused Sounds

Nebelwerfer Ambiance

Some weird ambiance sounds for the Nebelwerfer.

Italian Radio

An unused sound file for an Italian radio broadcast. The broadcast is actually from a modern news program, as the translation says "...bomb-packs against the European representatives, this morning an explosive device hidden in a book exploded in the European houses of Parliament, in Bruxelles...".
