Mob of The Dead how does it connect with the original story?

[Chunky Cheese]

Why did treyarch make this map, its cool and stuff, but it has nothing to do with the original storyline, does anyone know anything...Treyarch wouldn't just make a zombie map for no reason..it has to be important to the story.

We don't know yet. The map is only out for like a weekend on the 360. Right now, people are trying to figure out the Story Easter Egg itself, some of the new mechanics, and so on and so forth.
Don't expect any big reveal of the story within the first two weeks or so.

However, if the usage of RED eyes is in any form an indication, it might mean it is not related to the story at all. Because so far, we indeed had a Zombie-Map with no relation to the story where Zombies had red yes: Dead Ops. But that at least was a stock map.
Who knows, maybe it is just an indication that there is a yet-to-be-revealed third character controlling the zombies (and possibly be posses a second source for the creation of Zombies - unless there is Element 115 on Alcatraz)

the timeline when the map plays is almost same timeline as when group 935 is testing the element 115,
SO MABY maxis is contoling the zombies as a test on alcatraz,
BUT mob of the dead plays in a other dimension (candels, afterlive, weird hellhounds, bodies hanging on hooks, unable to hear the perks and PaP song clearly) probably a test error of the MDT,
SO its unable to tell if its linkt to the story line
