Each of these unlockable menu's only shows up once, and there's only three of them, one for American, one for British and of course one for Russian. Once you've seen them, the only way to see them again is to play through the missions, so I've made this short guide which lists all of the text you'll find to save you the trouble of having to play through again if you wish to improve your knowledge of World War Two. It's not much of a game play guide, but it does contain information from inside the game and will probably be of some enjoyment to anyone interested in World War Two, or Call Of Duty. Enjoy. - Psy =============================================================================== _ _ ___ _ /_\ _ __ ___ _ _(_)__ __ _ _ _ / __|__ _ _ __ _ __ __ _(_)__ _ _ _ / _ \| ' \/ -_) '_| / _/ _` | ' \ | (__/ _` | ' \| '_ \/ _` | / _` | ' \ /_/ \_\_|_|_\___|_| |_\__\__,_|_||_| \___\__,_|_|_|_| .__/\__,_|_\__, |_||_| |_| |___/ Battle Of Bastogne ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Synopsis: On December 19, 1944, General McAuliffe was ordered to take his 101st Airborne Infantry Division and "Hold Bastogne". Against overwhelming odds, and facing one of the coldest winters in years, the men of the 101st Airborne Division, along with other airborne and armored units, held the line at Bastogne. On December 26th, after eight days of intense bombing and incessant artillery barrages, the seige was broken when elements of Patton's Third Army broke through, relieving the encircled troops. By the end of the battle of Bastogne, the 101st airborne had suffered casualties of 105 officers and 1,536 enlisted men. After the breakout from Bastogne, the 101st moved on to the Moder river sector, through Germany ultimately reaching Hitler's private mountain retreat: "Eagles Nest". =============================================================================== __ __ _ _ _ ___ _ _ | \/ (_)_____(_)___ _ _ / | O | _ ) __ _ __| |_ ___ __ _ _ _ ___ / | | |\/| | (_-<_-< / _ \ ' \ | | | _ \/ _` (_-< _/ _ \/ _` | ' \/ -_) | | |_| |_|_/__/__/_\___/_||_| |_| O |___/\__,_/__/\__\___/\__, |_||_\___| |_| |___/ Head Quarters 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment Subject: After Action Report and critique for Action in Bastogne Sector. 24 December 1944 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Following a heavy barrage, the line was attacked by enemy forces from north of Bois Jacques. The enemy attacked in force with armor and panzer grenadiers along the entire battalion front. Friendly jeep recon units, who trapped in advancing German forces, escaped to the battalion lines and provided valuable information on the composition of the enemy units. The attack was repelled with the assistance of friendly armor. Remainder of enemy units retreated towards Foy. =============================================================================== __ __ _ _ ___ ___ _ ___ | \/ (_)_____(_)___ _ _ |_ ) O | _ ) __ _ __| |_ ___ __ _ _ _ ___ |_ ) | |\/| | (_-<_-< / _ \ ' \ / / | _ \/ _` (_-< _/ _ \/ _` | ' \/ -_) / / |_| |_|_/__/__/_\___/_||_| /___| O |___/\__,_/__/\__\___/\__, |_||_\___| /___| |___/ Head Quarters 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment Subject: After Action Report and critique for Action in Bastogne Sector. 12 January 1945 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ In a planned night operation, Sergeants Moody and Jones successfully attacked a battery of German 8.8 cm cannons operating at a nearby farmhouse. At the farmhouse, they freed captured troopers who were reported MIA. Meanwhile, third squad led by Sgt. Ramirez secured the crossroads on the Bastogne-Foy road. This was critical in facilitating the upcoming assault on Foy. First and second squads then assisted Sgt. Ramirez and thwarted any attempts by the enemy to reinforce, ensuring that the objective remained in our hands. =============================================================================== __ __ _ _ ____ ___ | \/ (_)_____(_)___ _ _ |__ / O | __|__ _ _ | |\/| | (_-<_-< / _ \ ' \ |_ \ | _/ _ \ || | |_| |_|_/__/__/_\___/_||_| |___/ O |_|\___/\_, | |__/ Head Quarters 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment Subject: After Action Report and critique for Action in Bastogne Sector. 13 January 1945 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Dog, Easy and Fox companies, as well as elements from 11th armored division assaulted and captured the town of Foy creating a clear path to Noville. There was a large enemy presence including well directed mortar and Artillery fire resulting in the loss of some armor. Sgt. Moody and his squad neutralized an 88 as well as a tiger that was blocking the Shermans' advance. After the town was under our control, the Germans launched a counterattack from across the river.

These highly trained agents were inserted into occupied areas where they were to assist local resistance groups and promote acts of sabotage. By the war's end, the SOE employed around 14,000 people of whom 3,100 were active agents. The year 1941 saw the creation of another elite unit: The Special Air Service. The "SAS" conducted daring guerrilla raids, destroying high value targets including supply depots, trains, and airfields. These operations were so successful and damaging to the German war effort that Hitler himself decreed that all SAS troops were "very dangerous men, to be ruthlessly exterminated". =============================================================================== __ __ _ _ ___ ___ _ | \/ (_)_____(_)___ _ _ | __| O | _ ) ___ _ __ | |__ ___ _ _ | |\/| | (_-<_-< / _ \ ' \ |__ \ | _ \/ _ \ ' \| '_ \/ -_) '_| |_| |_|_/__/__/_\___/_||_| |___/ O |___/\___/_|_|_|_.__/\___|_| No. 90 Squadron R.A.F. Bomber Command Polebrook Field September 8, 1941 On September 2, 1941, No. 90 squadron flight "B" flew an unescorted strategic bombing mission over eastern Holland. They encountered strong Luftwaffe resistance as well as heavy flak. This resulted in the loss of at least 5 of the Fortress I aircraft. With the exception of "A" for Andy, all crew members perished. Gunner James Doyle successfully bailed out over occupied Holland and was later retrieved by SOE and local Resistance Operatives.

Sept. 9, 1941 Mission Summary On September 2, 1941, while on a sabotage mission in Holland, we rescued a downed RAF gunner. Rather than waiting in safety until we could return, he insisted on joining our group. Although we came under fire numerous times, we succeeded in destroying our objective. This Gunner, named James Doyle, showed a natural ability with firearms and explosives and an innate sense of calm under pressure. I recommend he be transferred to Guildford for induction into S.O.E. training. I feel that his potential is being wasted in his current service. =============================================================================== __ __ _ _ ____ ___ _ _ _ _ | \/ (_)_____(_)___ _ _ |__ | O / __(_)__(_) |_ _ / | | |\/| | (_-<_-< / _ \ ' \ / / \__ \ / _| | | || | | | |_| |_|_/__/__/_\___/_||_| /_/ O |___/_\__|_|_|\_, | |_| |__/ TOP SECRET SO2: Adriatic Region Weekly Report.

Insertion was by means of a captured civilian fishing craft. We successfully removed the beach sentry as well as the detail at the lighthouse (where we planted charges as a diversionary tactic). Enemy troop strength in the nearby town was greatly underestimated. These troops attacked the fort en masse, making escape difficult. We escaped in some captured German vehicles. En route to the coast the Kubelwagon carrying the SAS troops sustained a direct hit from a panzer, killing all aboard in his current service. =============================================================================== __ __ _ _ ___ ___ _ _ _ ___ | \/ (_)_____(_)___ _ _ ( _ ) O / __(_)__(_) |_ _ |_ ) | |\/| | (_-<_-< / _ \ ' \ / _ \ \__ \ / _| | | || | / / |_| |_|_/__/__/_\___/_||_| \___/ O |___/_\__|_|_|\_, | /___| |__/ TOP SECRET SO2: Adriatic Region Weekly Report.

We were forced to enter the nearby town to evade capture. Eventually, we were forced to continue on foot. As we made our way to the beach, our escape boat was destroyed, killing the driver. We captured an idle PT boat. Shortly after our escape, a number of German assault boats appeared on the scene. After dispatching the enemy boats, we were able to confirm the total destruction of the target and return to the HMS Ulster Monarch. =============================================================================== ___ _ ___ _ | _ \_ _ _____(_)__ _ _ _ / __|__ _ _ __ _ __ __ _(_)__ _ _ _ | / || (_-<_-< / _` | ' \ | (__/ _` | ' \| '_ \/ _` | / _` | ' \ |_|_\\_,_/__/__/_\__,_|_||_| \___\__,_|_|_|_| .__/\__,_|_\__, |_||_| |_| |___/ Battle Of Kursk Synopsis: In an effort to reaffirm the military might of the Third Reich after the devastating defeat at Stalingrad, the Wehrmacht planned a daring offensive against the Kursk salient, an exposed bulge in the center of the Soviet lines. Due to bad weather, the German attack, codenamed "Operation Citadel", was postponed until July 1943. This delay gave the Soviets time to prepare a formidable defensive network consisting of miles of trenches and barbed wire as well as hundreds of thousands of anti-tank and anti-personnel mines. The battle of Kursk was to be the last major German offensive on the Eastern Front. Over a period of eight days, the battle raged on, culminating in what would prove to be the largest tank battle in history. After this battle, German armies in the east were in continuous retreat until the war's end. =============================================================================== __ __ _ _ ___ _____ _ | \/ (_)_____(_)___ _ _ / _ \ O |_ _| _ ___ _ _ __| |_ ___ ___ | |\/| | (_-<_-< / _ \ ' \ \_, / | || '_/ -_) ' \/ _| ' \/ -_|_-< |_| |_|_/__/__/_\___/_||_| /_/ O |_||_| \___|_||_\__|_||_\___/__/ Report of Small unit action: Vorohnezh Front, July 5, 1943 6th Guards Army, 67 Guards Rifle Division Third squad arrived with the other new conscripts at the temporary railhead at Cherkasskoye. Under heavy bombardment, the men were trucked to the trenches. Immediately after the barrage ceased, the German assault began. The defences held, save for a small incursion on the right flank. Third squad showed distinction on several occasions during the battle. Not only were they successful in holding the line against overwhelming odds, they also faced direct fire to destroy three Elefant tanks. They moved on to hold the northern edge of Cherkasskoye until reinforcements arrived. =============================================================================== __ __ _ _ _ __ ___ _ | \/ (_)_____(_)___ _ _ / |/ \ O | _ \___ _ _ _ _ _ _(_) | |\/| | (_-<_-< / _ \ ' \ | | () | | _/ _ \ ' \ || | '_| | |_| |_|_/__/__/_\___/_||_| |_|\__/ O |_| \___/_||_\_, |_| |_| |__/ Report of Small unit action: Prokhorovka, July 12, 1943 Page 1 6th Guards Army, 67 Guards Rifle Division Third squad arrived at Ponyri station, escorting tanks from the 5th Guards Tank Army. Our T-34's and infantry forces pushed through and recaptured the Station. All tanks were destroyed as they entered the central area of town. Our infantry forces swept through the town, and captured the tank repair facility in the tractor factory. By capturing this objective we were able to deny the enemy the ability to repair their Panzer IV tanks. All remaining German forces were driven out of town to the North. =============================================================================== __ __ _ _ _ _ _ __ _ | \/ (_)_____(_)___ _ _ / / | O | |/ / _ _ _ __| |__ | |\/| | (_-<_-< / _ \ ' \ | | | | ' < || | '_(_-< / / |_| |_|_/__/__/_\___/_||_| |_|_| O |_|\_\_,_|_| /__/_\_\ Report of Small unit action: Prokhorovka, July 12, 1943 5th Guards Tank Army, 2nd Guards Tank Division Our tank platoon pursued and intercepted a retreating column of German armor. Fighting through their emplaced forces and artillery at the bridge, we pursued the armor column through the outskirts or Prokhorovka. As the majority of our platoon followed them around the edge of town, a small detachment broke off. This detachment met up with the Infantry forces of the 6th Guards Army and moved through the town to near the main bridge over the river Psel, blocking the enemy's escape until our platoon could move in and destroy them. =============================================================================== __ __ _ _ _ ___ _ ___ _ _ | \/ (_)_____(_)___ _ _ / |_ ) O | |/ / |_ __ _ _ _| |_______ __ / | | |\/| | (_-<_-< / _ \ ' \ | |/ / | ' <| ' \/ _` | '_| / / _ \ V / | | |_| |_|_/__/__/_\___/_||_| |_/___| O |_|\_\_||_\__,_|_| |_\_\___/\_/ |_| Report of Small unit action: Kharkov, August 20, 1943 Page 1 7th Guards Army, 15 Guards Rifle Division Immediately after transferring to our new unit, we were deployed to the outskirts of Kharkov. The battle, then already 9 days old, had left the city in ruins. The destroyed structures proved to be ideal terrain for enemy snipers and hidden anti-tank emplacements. In support of the 27 Guards Tank Army, members of my squad moved forward to positions ahead of the main force to spot for artillery units in the rear. After neutralizing 3 of the anti-tank positions, the squad moved closer to the main objective, Kharkov central train station. =============================================================================== __ __ _ _ _ ____ _ ___ _ ___ | \/ (_)_____(_)___ _ _ / |__ / O | |/ / |_ __ _ _ _| |_______ __ |_ ) | |\/| | (_-<_-< / _ \ ' \ | ||_ \ | ' <| ' \/ _` | '_| / / _ \ V / / / |_| |_|_/__/__/_\___/_||_| |_|___/ O |_|\_\_||_\__,_|_| |_\_\___/\_/ /___| Report of Small unit action: Kharkov, August 20, 1943 Page 1 7th Guards Army, 15 Guards Rifle Division After fighting through Kharkov, third squad moved onto the train station. The main square in front of the station was heavily defended and mired with anti-tank obstacles. Private Petrenko served with distinction when he defended our engineers while they set charges on the obstructions. Once the square was in our control, the Germans retaliated with a bombing attack. This was thwarted by our forces, by turning their own weapons against them. At the station, we held back a German counterattack until the troop train arrived with fresh reinforcements. Kharkov was ours once again. =============================================================================== PLEASE NOTE It is illegal under copyright law to reproduce any published Internet material, be it text, art, music, coding, images, et cetera, without permission from it's creator or owner.
