=====================================
Following the short truck ride into the city, immediately jump off the back or
sides of the vehicle and take cover from the MG42 fire coming from the windows
up ahead.
Once you've caught your breath, run across in front of the MG's and take cover
behind the building on the right. Follow your squad around to the right hand
side and head towards the other end of the street. You'll come across about ten
Germans behind some sandbags and barrels at the far wall. Take cover behind any
of the objects scattered around and use your Lee-Enfield to carefully pick them
off one by one. After you kill the first three or four, another five or so will
rush down from a room at the end of the street and take up their positions. Try
to move in a bit closer, get a grenade in their location and then move in with
your Thompson and clear it out.
Take cover behind the sandbags where the Germans were and carefully lean around
the boxes and look to the right. You'll see two or three Germans by the MG42 on
the floor just around the corner alongside the center building, and two or
three others behind the wall at the other end of the street. There'll also be
one German on the balcony next to the window MG gunner. Help your squad take
them out and then proceed towards the open building right below the window MG42
gunners. As you reach it, one of your team mates will take out the gunner.
Head through the first room and along the small corridor. Carefully lean out of
the doorway and prepare to shoot at a proned MG42 gunner lying directly in
front of you. Take him out then you'll see two more Germans, one on each side
of him. They'll most likely throw grenades as you, so retreat back to the other
end of the corridor until they explode, then lean back out the door and pick
them off.
Head through the alleyways and stop as you reach a corner with a view of the
ocean. The German artillery can be found here, along with a large number of
their soldiers. Let your squad catch up with you, then start shooting at the
Germans manning the Flak guns. Be aware of the riflemen on the roof and on the
balconies to the right and ensure you take them out before they do likewise.
Once you've cleared the first Flak, move up to the right and take cover against
the corner, behind the stack of crates. Lean out and fire off a few rifle shots
at the many Germans in the distance. Try shooting the red barrels which will
explode taking out a few of them at once. Keep up the fire and help your squad
pick off every last German. Once they appear to be all gone, move up and along
the dock area. As you get towards the end one of your team mates will shout out
to throw some smoke, don't worry, someone else will take care of it for you,
but you may need to get your rifle and aim at the MG42 gunner on the roof of
the German building. Once he's been taken care of, move along to the end of the
area and go through the opening on the right. Depending how quickly you've
gotten this far, there may or may not be Germans waiting for you. Either way
you're going to have to kill them. There might be one or two coming through the
opening as you get there, one just inside to the left, or possibly two to the
right of the opening, maybe with a planted MG42 on a table.
If you got there a bit faster, the Germans probably won't have gotten into
positions yet, so quickly rush in and keep to the right. Head around the far
corner of the building with the two tunnel type things, straight ahead of your
entrance to the area, and you might have a nice surprise with four or so
Germans heading straight for you. Make sure you've got an auto and spray them
until they're all gone, then make your way towards the main German building.
Enter the bottom floor and make your way to the right into the small back room.
Depending on how long your squad have been fighting the Germans, there may be
one or two still alive down here, so be careful and if you see any, take them
out. As you approach the stairs another German will make his way down, but you
should have no problem taking care of him with a Thompson. Head up the stairs
and around, ensuring there are no more enemies left alive, then use the radio
as your squad marks the target with smoke and watch the fireworks.
After that, head back downstairs and make your way back past the "tunnel
building". You'll find members of your squad pinned down by MG42 gunners. Feel
free to try and take them out with your rifle, however from what I've seen,
they'll just keep on respawning anyway. Head through the gate to the left of
the area and watch as one of your squad mates gets splattered by a good few
hundred German bullets. Just after the last bit of door comes flying off,
crouch down and lean / strafe into the doorway with a Thompson or another fully
automatic weapon. Spray the three Germans in there before they realise you're
attempting to come in. There'll usually be two to the left, and a guy on an
MG42 at the back of the room, in-line with the entrance.
After disposing of them, continue through the back alleyway and head up the
steps into the next room. There'll be two Germans in here, one of which should
be easy to kill, the other will be around the corner and will be preparing to
throw a grenade at you. Do whatever you need to do to take out these two
Germans then carefully make your way to the blown out wall. Below you are two
Germans on MG42's, but you also have three Germans in the building opposite,
one on the roof of the building just left of that, and one or two on the
balcony of the building to the left of yours. I'd suggest using a rifle and
carefully picking off the German riflemen who are situated in various positions
around the aforementioned buildings. There's one on the balcony directly
opposite, one on the roof and one in the far right window. Take out those and
the other few Germans mentioned before, then use a grenade or machine gun to
clear out the MG42 gunners.
Make your way into the German headquarters building and approach the stairs,
killing the two guards inside watching the entrance. As you get there, a German
will usually make his way down so kill him, then cautiously make your way up
the stairs. Before you get half way, turn around and climb them backwards, a
German will be waiting with a rifle for you, so take him out as soon as you get
a chance. I'd then suggest throwing a grenade into that end of the room, before
actually entering it as there are two Germans behind a table ready to gun you
down. Make sure they're both dead, then grab the documents and make your way
out of the building.
Jump on the MG42 in the sand-bagged area and use it to clear out the five or so
Germans who are trying a counter attack, they should be disposed of no problem.
Next just head through the gate to the left and follow the alleyway until you
meet up with more members of your squad. When you hear that "this building is
secure", you're safe, so follow them up the stairs and off the balcony where
you'll meet up with the Captain and complete the objective.
