MISSION 3: OPERATION OVERLORD
Omaha Beach - Normandy, France - June 6, 1944
M3L1
"Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force! You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.
Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely. But this is the year of 1944! Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to Victory!
I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory!
Good Luck! And let us all beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking."
- General Dwight D. Eisenhower
Battle in the Bocage - Normandy, France - June 7, 1944
M3L2
Excellent job on Omaha. Due to your exemplary actions, you've been reassigned to a special mission with Captain Ramsey from A Company. The situation in the bocage is grim. The overgrown hedgerows dividing the landscape past the beach provide the Germans with perfect defensive territory; our every offensive is met with tenacious overlapping defenses - MG42s, mortars, 88's - you name it. Certain areas that were to be taken by the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions remain in enemy hands; a result of the misdrops on the night of the invasion.
Your mission is to penetrate enemy lines, disrupt enemy defenses, and link up with paratroopers from the 101st who were tasked to destroy a special target between Isigny and Carentan. If they're understrength or KIA, you are to complete their mission with Ramsey. A jeep is available for transport, but there's no way to tell how far you'll get before you have to abandon it, as the roads closer to the target are well defended by 88mm guns.
You'll receive further details once you're in the field. Best of luck, Lieutenant.

The Nebelwerfer Hunt - Normandy, France - June 7, 1944
M3L3
Good job on taking out those 88's. Now, here's exactly what you're looking for. This photo from our files shows a six-barreled rocket projector called the Nebelwerfer 41. When grouped into batteries, they can be devastating, smashing targets with barrages of explosive rockets. One such battery is defending an approach to Carentan, and the Germans could easily shift it to a less vulnerable position further south at any time. We can't let that happen. This is as good a chance as we're going to get to take away some of their best firepower in the area. Success here will save many soldiers' lives in the fight towards the town of St. Lo.
The only approach to the Nebelwerfer battery is through a small town. You'll know you're near the site when you see the large church on the outskirts. The battery is located on a field defended by many MG-42 positions; use the sniper rifle to pick off the crews from a distance before moving in. Once you've captured the location, plant explosives onto the Nebelwerfers and take cover!
This won't be an easy mission, but I'm confident you'll be up to the task. Good luck, Lieutenant.
