Objective: Secure the Hotel

You need to blow a hole in the corner of the hotel building using a rocket launcher. If you dropped your Bazooka, you can find a Panzerschreck nearby.

The Germans have heavily fortified the staircase in the hotel lobby. You need to flank down one side of the hotel to get behind the machine gun nest.

Crouch down and move along the back wall. This leads to a staircase above the lobby. Before climbing the stairs, though, aim down the passage and kill the Germans hiding behind cover.

Have a grenade ready as you climb the stairs. Several Germans are defending the position here, but they are vulnerable to grenades and you can easily back down the stairs for cover. Pierson and Aiello will provide support in this section.

Stay crouched and proceed to the end of the upper hallway. When you get to the back hall, kill the Germans on the machine guns. Use the height of the stairs to your advantage and help your squad clear out the remaining Germans below. There’s no need to move out from behind cover; just pick off the Nazis as they emerge.

When the lobby is clear, go down the stairs and help your squad clear out the area behind the main staircase. Rally with your squad and follow them into the basement. Press the Activate button to open the door in the basement.

Dossier – Erica Muller

Age: 14 Height: 5’ 6” Born: Aachen, Germany

Born to a pastor and music teacher, Erica comes from a cultured and religious family who wants no part of Germany’s war. To that end, they refused to leave Aachen. As holdouts, they feared Americans based on the propaganda they’d heard.

Since Erica’s father, Jan, wants her to be smart and independent, he trains her to use a rifle. Although the family struggles to hold out during the back and forth between the Allies and the Germans, their situation has deteriorated.

When Erica’s parents leave to find food and never return, she is forced to look after herself and her little sister, Anna. She hopes they’ll be liberated and life will return to normal, but fears the invading Americans.
