Ludvig Maxis, a leading scientist in 'The Giant' project, attempted to control zombies. In Der Riese, the creation of the zombies and Hellhounds is explained via six hidden radio messages.

It is believed that the hanging man in Shi No Numa is Peter, because in the DS version of World at War, the hanging man is missing and a grave stone appears with the name 'Peter' written on it.

It can be assumed that they are American, as the person giving the transmission has an American accent. It is currently unknown who gives the transmission and who Peter is. It seems that Element 115 and the meteorite are important pieces to the creation of zombies because the number '115' is constantly found on crates in Shi No Numa. In one of Doctor Richtofen's quotes, he states that the meteorite is where the element comes from. A meteor containing Element 115 is present in Shi No Numa, located near the Storage Hut. Element 115 is the element known to power the Wunderwaffe and possibly the Ray Gun, as well as reanimate the dead. '115' is reference to element number 115 on the Periodic Table of Elements (Ununpentium). The 'DG' experiments is a reference to theWunderwaffe DG-2. The numbers heard at the beginning and end of the transmission are the coordinates of Tunguska and Area 51. I hope I happen to be there too, but I'm almost out of hope. I'm not sure how much longer we can continue here. Find Doctor Richtofen and Doctor Maxis, they may know what's going on. The giant must remain at all costs, repeat, Der Riese must remain at all costs. You must know by now that we failed to contain the Asylum and we had to move the experiment here. I hope that you are receiving this transmission Peter, if not then all is going to be lost. In Shi No Numa, the following message can be heard in the starting room by activating all three radios: The origin in the creation of zombies still remains unclear, although several incidents leading up to the creation can be found via radio messages found in various zombie maps.
