Blitzkrieg
Thunderous Warfare
Rank: D
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 10~40
Max. target: 50 people
A method of warfare developed by the Nazis. As a Noble Phantasm, it's an useful Noble Phantasm that can be activated without the usage of it's true name and at a quick interval. It does not take up much mana and it's efficient due to the fact that the Noble Phantasm cannot be defended against. This is because the purpose of Blitzkrieg is to overwhelm the enemy before a proper defense could be put up. As such, even if a Servant were to activate a shield-type Noble Phantasm, Blitzkrieg will manipulate the time frame to a state where it was fired off artillery before the shield was placed. Defenses such as the Heracles' God Skin that are constantly active on the body of it's user and are essentially part of them cannot be bypassed by Blitzkrieg. This is because Blitzkrieg is supposed to be activated at a time where a defense is not already placed prior to Blitzkrieg's activation, so it could take the enemy by surprise. If the enemy is already protected by constant armour rather than activating a shield in retaliation to Blitzkrieg, the purpose of the Noble Phantasm fundamentally fails and it can no longer be activated against such enemies.
There is another gaping weakness of this Noble Phantasm. Since it is a method of warfare between modern humanity using machines developed for the sake of defeating modern civilization, it's power in a Holy Grail War which summons heroes of folklore is heavily reduced. All Heroes with the
Earth,
Sky or
Star attribute will be heavily resistant to the damage dealt by this Noble Phantasm to the point where some of them will even be able to heal the injuries caused right after taking a direct hit. But Servants that are of the
Man attribute or normal humans will be hit with the full power of the Anti-Army damage possessed by this Blitzkrieg. Their death is certain should they take a direct hit unless they possess extra-ordinary endurance or defensive Noble Phantasms.
Furthermore, the Noble Phantasm is only really effective against Servants of the Man attribute that are not heavily involved with the supernatural since Blitzkrieg is treated as the ｢Civilization-Slaying Spear｣, it's power will fail to register when facing off someone like Sakata no Kintoki who is of supernatural origin despite his status as a Man attribute Servant. On a side note, Blitzkrieg causes an intimidating side effect on the enemy, causing them to fear the other party and be under a strong impression that defeat might be possible. This does not work on Servants, but human Masters who don't have the mental fortitude to resist the fear can be overwhelmed. The visual appearance of Blitzkrieg is similar to that of Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon - the only difference being that instead of swords, what appear are tank cannons aiming at the enemy. This Noble Phantasm is sealed away in the Caster class.
Holocaust
Gate to the Devil's Realm
Rank: C
Type: Anti-Team (Reality Marble)
Range: 1~10
Max. target: 2 people
The event which is considered to be the most evil deed committed in human history. Although it was not a direct project of Hitler's and he denied any relations to it in life to the point where he never once stepped foot into the concentration camps, due to the fact that he ordered it and his name is heavily connected to the project, it is still a Noble Phantasm possessed by him. When activated, it is a Reality Marble that manifests an eerie, mist (smoke) engulfed plains that exert an extreme feeling of discomfort and disgust in the eye of the beholder. Instead of the concentration camps, what has been manifested is a portion of ｢Tartarus｣ itself due to the distortion caused by Innocent Monster - as such, it can be said that it is truly the Devil's realm.
Inside the Reality Marble - in which millions have lost their lives - resides a spawn nest of the living undead who are in constant agony and suffering - forever seeking a release from their torment. They will mindlessly attack any living soul that stands on these unholy grounds - begging for help from the intruder. Only the Master of this Reality Marble will be unaffected by the attacks of the living undead as they are in constant and absolute fear of their Master. They are overwhelming in numbers, possessing undead troops that count in the millions. But they are pathetically weak. The victims of this Reality Marble were nothing but innocent people who died in inhumane ways and ended up as wraiths that cannot pass on from the despair that ended their lives. While they are still stronger than regular humans, their power against Servants is not tremendous as single units. However, they can form into bigger entities like a single organism to raise their battle capacity in order to be able to fight Servants to some extent. Even possibly defeat them or kill their Master - but that is highly unlikely.
As cruel and monstrous this Reality Marble is, it is actually not it's purpose to defeat the enemy. Since Hitler has never once stepped into the concentration camps that Nazi Germany created, it is impossible for himself to enter this Reality Marble in the first place. Instead, once casted, what has manifested inside as the owner of the Reality Marble is a temporary summoning of his old friend; Heinrich Himmler. Though he can command the troops with absolute will, Himmler is a pathetically weak anti-hero that could easily be defeated upon clashing with another Servant - due to the fact that all of Himmler's personal Noble Phantasms and skills have been sealed away. Furthermore, the version of Holocaust that has manifested under Hitler's command is much different than that of the version Himmler possesses as his Noble Phantasm so he is unable to take any meaningful advantages of it.
Because of this, Hitler's preferred tactic of battle against allied teams is to send one pair of Master and Servant inside of the Reality Marble in order to separate them from their allies so he could focus on fighting one enemy at a time then defeat the weakened Master and Servant pair inside of the Reality Marble once he has dealt with the first task. Holocaust cannot be activated to individuals descended from the Germanic race or ones that Hitler allegedly believed to be Germanic - such as Germans, the Dutch, Croats, Finns, Brits, Japs, etc. - as it is a project meant to purify humankind so it would be unsightly for it to contain a member of the Aryan race. Because of this, it is only usable against Servants of Jewish, Slavic, etc. descent which Hitler considered subhuman in life. The number of Heroic Spirits of such descent in a Holy Grail War can be exceptionally low - potentially making Holocaust into an entirely useless Noble Phantasm.
Longinus Lanze
Spear of Destiny
Rank: EX
Type: Anti-Divine, Anti-Fortress
Range: 1~60
Max. target: 1000 people
Hitler's most powerful Noble Phantasm and the reason he was summoned under the Lancer class. Available only under the Lancer and Berserker classes. It is the Holy Lance that pierced the side of Christ and is regarded in the same light as King Arthur's Rhongomyniad - another anchor of the planet. In rumour, it is theorized that Adolf Hitler conquered Vienna where he took possession of the Holy Lance and stored it in the hall of Saint Katherine.
The spear possesses unimaginable power. It was stated that whoever wields this spear will possess power to conquer the entire world, but on the other hand, whoever loses it will also lose their life. Hitler's suicide was rumoured to be a consequence of him losing Longinus. This is due to the fact that the Longinus was taken by the U.S. soldiers during the bombardment of the Church of St. Katherine on 30th of April, 1945 - and Hitler committed suicide only a few hours later. Another popular theory is that once Hitler witnessed the spear in Vienna, it called out to him - showing him his destiny as the victorious commander of the Third Reich. He quickly became obsessed with it, returning to the display of the lance in Vienna numerous times.
And when he was granted the possession of the spear, he was spiraled down even further into madness. He declared that the war could begin in earnest and quickly began conquering outside nations. Ravenscroft claimed that Hitler - who had possession of the spear - was being further manipulated by the evil entity residing within the spear. He referred to it as a hostile and evil entity that was something akin to the Anti-Christ. While Hitler was a madman even prior to taking the spear, it certainly did not help his dark personality.
Having been coated in the blood of the Christ, the Holy Lance possesses immense power against those that are of Divine descent. It can be considered an one-shot kill to anyone who possess Divinity - much like Vasavi Shakti. It's power is tremendous against those that do not possess Divinity as well, being unable to take on the spear without equal amount of power. Longinus was said to be able to show it's owner their own future as long as they hold the spear so as long as Hitler is in possession of the spear, he will have Clairvoyance at the level of the Lion King - another owner of one of the holy lances that is the world's anchor. Under the Berserker class, this effect is lost due to Hitler's mindset which was already distorted from beginning being affected even further by Mad Enhancement, making him unable to tell clear pictures and use said Clairvoyance to his advantage.
Longinus is said to be a spear intertwined with all of mankind's desires. Because of this, when facing Servants that have a particularly strong desire for the Grail, the Holy Lance is powered up even more proportionately to the desire of the enemy. The only weakness of the spear is that it is a double-edged sword. Should Hitler become unable to use his beloved spear in any way possible, either due to the lack of mana or having his NP locked away by an effect of an enemy's ability, he shall lose his life due to not being able to summon Longinus anymore. Mana will leak out violently and he will eventually disappear from the world. The mana cost for the upkeep of this Noble Phantasm is tremendous - no different from the hero Karna who expends immense amounts of mana at an extremely fast pace. As such, it would be smart not to use the full power of this spear unless truly needed because otherwise, Hitler's Master might run out of mana making Hitler unable to summon his beloved spear and incidentally triggering the suicide effect.
Other Noble Phantasms he possesses are
Ahnenerbe
Mythological Nazi War-Machine
(Archer) and
Mein Kampf
The Struggle of the Devil
(Caster).
