=====================================
From the start of the level, keep to the right and rush towards the German
controlled building. Shoot the red barrel which will explode taking out a good
number of them, then move past it and into the building with the stairs. Head
up each floor wiping out the resistance, and when you get to the top, you'll
be told that an enemy tank is on it's way. You're also told that there may be
anti-tank weapons in the apartment opposite, so make your way back down the
stairs and prepare to run across to the other side of the area, using the
large hill for cover.
Move into the apartment building and enter the bathroom where you'll find the
sticky bombs on the floor. Grab them, and then prepare to engage the tank.
Look out of the window and shoot at all of the Germans below, take out all of
the ones you can see behind the tank, then mantle out of the window and charge
at the tank. Quickly plant the bomb on it, then run back up the hill and get
behind some cover. If you're finding it difficult to avoid the enemy fire when
doing this, you could throw a smoke grenade into the tank area and wait for it
to fill up the area although you will need a few later on in the level.
Once the tank blows up, you'll move through the apartment building where four
Germans will be waiting for you in the next corridor. Just wipe them out with
your PPSh and proceed through the next few rooms with your comrades. Ignore the
Russians shooting at the Germans opposite and move straight through the next
doorway and into the room at the end. You now need to move across the street
below and clear out the German controlled building, which has a good fifteen
or so enemies inside. The best way I've found of doing this is to smoke the
area right in front of the building and then run across to the left, throwing
grenades into the doorway, before flanking to the right and doing the same.
Then just move in and finish off the last few on the bottom floor with a PPSh.
This is rather hard on the later difficulties so it could take a good deal of
luck, but smoke grenades are one of the most important parts to success in
this area.
Once you've cleaned out the bottom floor, head towards the stairs and prepare
to take out another four or so Germans up here. You should have picked up some
grenades from dead Germans below, so throw a few of them up there, then move
up and pick off the last few Germans.
Move through into the next room and get on the MG42 to the right. Use it to
wipe out the Germans to the right, a few in the center of the street, and
eventually the ten to fifteen in the building to the left. Keep pouring the
shells on the Germans and eventually your comrades will blow up the ammo
supply depot. Straight after that a Panzer tank will make it's way towards
you, so get off the MG42 and move back in the room.
After two or three shells against your building, the wall will explode, so
immediately run to it and drop down, then move to the right. Watch out for
the German on the balcony to the right, then head around the back of the wall
and move in a flanking action behind the tank. This area is swarming with
Germans and you'll probably need to use a lot of grenades, firing, then taking
cover to move closer, although a few smoke grenades will help a good deal.
Take out the Germans as you try to catch up with the tank. If you threw enough
smoke you should pretty much be safe from German fire, but the tank moves
pretty darn fast so you'll need to do something special to catch it. Once you
do, take cover in a building or behind an object until it blows. Help your
squad pick off the remaining Germans, then move through past the far wall, into
the building on the left and up the stairs, where you'll pass this part of the
mission.
