Kino's Truth
One question thats been asked a lot is what year does Kino take place? Most use facts like the Berlin Wall and Fernsehturm as proof this takes place from 1965 to 1969. Well I would believe that its just that obviously conflicts with "Five" and "Ascension" which take place in 1963. Lets take a step back shall we?
Germany's Downfall
In the 1940's not only did the Allies take down Germany but another unknown enemy was also slowly taking it down as well. We currently know of three German outbreaks in this time period. Natch Der Untoten, Verruckt, and Der Riese. I believe with reasons of my own, that Verruckt is the first outbreak. Now of course this infection can't spread... We burned the forest surrounding the Asylum! They can't get out... But of course they were wrong! Zombies are obviously still rampant there and it will spread... oh it will... Now onto the Der Riese incident. This outbreak happened and the zombies did get out... At this point with now two known outbreaks, Germany will increase its security.
Slowly but surely
With Zack moving in from multiple directions, Germany will attempt to protect all... but most of all the Heart of the Reich, Berlin! Under these circumstances, progress on any current project must be accelerated before it is stopped by the Horrors itself. So in this alternate universe, the Fernsehturm has started to be built before 1965. Now this I am not quite sure on... Possibly Group 935 were allowed by the government to continue experiments in hopes to stop the madness. By attempting to actually control Zack. Unfortunately whether they came from Kino or the outside, Germany had fallen!
The Fall of Europe!
Now most of us know there were Group 935 stations in both France and England. Perhaps they did not know of Germany's problems or maybe they did. Either way they did not anticipate that they would fall from the inside. These stations obviously got out of hand and ravaged Europe. Now this here is fitting in with the timeline of Ascension and Five. The world now really is at the brink of an apocalypse. With Russia and America, the world's two superpowers hanging on by a strand, how will we survive?
The Last Line of Defense
I'm simply basing this off of gaming sense and common sense. America will be the last line of defense against Zack. Washington may have fallen but they have a secret weapon being homed by AREA 51!
Lets face it, we knew this would happen at one point. Treyarch obviously wouldn't put the last stand in Australia or Antarctica. Hidden inside this base may be a wonder weapon that can completely obliterate the Horrors once and for all.
Clearing up
Let me clear some things up. If you look outside of Kino, the Fernsehturm is half built and everything is abandoned. This hints towards either quarantine or they have fallen.
Alright thanks for reading if you did and yeah... Thanks...
