Guess Who's Coming Tonight is the fifth mission in Commandos: Beyond the Call of Duty.
Summary[]
A huge mission where you have to be aware of your surroundings at all times as there are so many guards in elevated positions.
Historical Background[]
In the summer of 1944, a desperate and unhappy group of high-ranking German soldiers dreamed up an operation meant to get rid of the Führer, topple the III Reich and establish a new government. The chosen date is July 20. The place, Headquarters at Rastenburg, known as the Wolfsschanze, the Wolf's Lair. However, a problem has arisen. The SS Colonel Wilhelm von Below, chief of security of the complex, has some suspicions regarding the existence of a conspiracy and is about to unmask its leaders.
You mission will be to enter the fortress and kidnap Colonel von Below before he can upset the plans. If you are successful, maybe Hitler will be eliminated and the war might end in a few days.
Tactical Advice[]
I am pleased to see you again, officer. Your mission will be to infiltrate the walled compound, capture Colonel von Below, place him in an armoured vehicle and escape down the road to the east. Due to our carelessness, one of our men has been captured. Free him and carry out your mission.
One more thing, the enemy is on full alert. At the slightest sign of danger, the officer will escape in a vehicle that is waiting for him, terminating your mission immediately. That will be all. We are counting on you.
