Wolfenstein 3D episodes 1 to 3 were made in 1992. Wolfenstein 3D episodes 4 to 6 and The Spear of Destiny episode 1 were made in 1993. I thought that Spear of Destiny Episodes 2 & 3 were made by FormGen in 1994. In episode 3, you don’t go to Hell for the last level, but you kind-of time travel to a Doom level.
Apogee’s advertising had a message of something like, “Historian’s note: Spear of Destiny takes place before the six episodes of Wolfenstein 3D.”
Over the years, somebody said that the reason why William Blazkowics was kidnapped by the Nazis in episode 1 was because The Nocturnal Missions take place first, then he’s kidnapped for questioning in episode 1 for killing Nazis in those prequel episodes. Or maybe you care to imagine it that way.
I imagine that if I were to make an unofficial timeline including some of the games then it would be somewhat like this:
1. The unfinished Secret of Eridu in Sumerian times,
2. (Deleted)
3. Laz Rojas’ Wolfenstein 3D episodes 4-6 with 2 extra levels,
4. Then Spear of Destiny episode 1,
5. (Then if you think it’s worth your time, Spear of Destiny episodes 2 & 3 come next except for the time travel on the last level),
6. Then Laz Rojas’ Wolfenstein 3D episode 1 in the WolfenDoom Original Missions file
7. Then Thomas’ mod with only episode 2 changes (I can’t remember the name of it),
8. Then Laz Rojas’ Wolfenstein 3D episode 2 to 3 with in The Original Missions with 2 extra levels,
9. Spear Resurrection (1946),
10. Spear End of Destiny (1946?),
11. Rise of The Triad: Wolfenstein 3D Part 2 (If JPB actually made this, then I’ve forgotten to play it),
12. TUTNT (The Ultimate Torment 'N' Torture) WolfenDoom secret level
13: Then Laz Rojas’ Egyptian “The Portal” for Doom 2,
14. WolfenDoom Astrostein 1,
15. WolfenDoom Astrostein 2,
16. WolfenDoom Astrostein 3,
17. Then that last level of Spear of Destiny episode 3,
18. Possibly Amazing Grace if JPB insists that it’s the final one with Blazkowics,
19. Project X in the future in Japan,
20. The Megaman games in the future
21. The Doom 2 secret levels in this link because they are in the future: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=M0TxqldtWKs&NR=1
22. Then the Wolfenstein 3D in Doom 3 levels which I haven’t played yet,
23. The Wolfenstein 3D Rage Easter Egg,
24. ...and then finally AReyep and MCS’ WolfenDoom.
I didn’t include Return to Castle Wolfenstein or Wolfenstein 2009 because I haven’t had time to play them yet. If I’ve forgotten to include your game in this timeline, then it’s because I haven’t played it yet, or fitting the game on a timeline hasn’t entered my mind.
Edits: There's Skulltag episodes 2 & 3 for Doom 2, but I don't know if they have Wolfenstein 3D Easter eggs. There's an extra Doom 2 episode in some sort of Playstation 3 or X-Box 360 version, but I don't know if they have Wolfenstein 3D Easter eggs. I've forgotten to include the Wolfenstein 3D E1L1 level mod for Rise of The Triad. Oh, well.
Edits #2: Sorry. I just re-read and you typed, "Anyone know of any other mods or mapsets that officially have the same story as the original Wolf3D/SoD?" Now I know you meant only World War II theme mods.
