Briefing
Buzz Bomb Assembly

25 March 1945

Manon: So, Patterson, we've reached the end of our journey.

Col. Hargrove briefed me on this mission over a year ago. At the time, I told him that I didn’t think he’d ever find a field operative who could pull it off.

Well - I’m happy to say that I’ve been proved wrong.

It’s been hard to get reliable intelligence out of Nordhausen. The Waffen-SS has been extremely careful about screening any civilian workers for possible infiltrators. Luckily one of the scientists, Dr. Gronek from the University of Warsaw, has been feeding us scraps of information for the past couple of months. His French is rather poor, but if I understand his last communiquè correctly, the best way into the factory is through the V1 Buzz Bomb assembly area.

See if you can acquire the German's V1 target list. Based on range and trajectory, we can backtrack from an intended target location to find a launch site. The V1 is a nasty weapon, but it's easy to knock them out of commission - at east when they're on the ground. (I speak from experience, I did a few raids on the France-based sites.) Use a demolition charge to destroy the launch controls, then open the blast doors to exit through the V2 access tunnel.

JImmy: V1 Rocket Target List? Don't tell me...

M1897: What's Wrong Lieutenant?

M1918: is there something wrong?

Jimmy: if i correct Nazi will attack, United Kingdom, Moscow, America and Paris...

M1918: we must stop this

M1897: that's too cruel. why nazi must do this?

Jimmy: they want conquer the world and slave the people. i will never let them won. okay so ladies. be prepare to 1st round final battle.

M1918: Alright

M1897: You can counting on us Lieutenant.

Trivia

 * Manon's claim that V1 Buzz bombs being easy to destroy on the ground is inaccurate. During Operation Crossbow a number of those bombs were intercepted in midair. Intercepting the rockets requires great skill and calculation:
 * By tipping one of its wings; it could disrupt controlling mechanism from the distance. However only few of them that could intercept the rocket: Hawker Tempest is the only low-altitude capable fighter to intercept the rocket with 30 units being deployed at the time. Major R. E. Turner was a first pilot to intercept V-1 rocket by toppling its wingtips with his P-51A Mustang.
 * Or risky yet avoiding the rocket to crash at ground and explode by shooting it directly. Many fighter armed with Hispano cannon are prone for jamming, being less accurate yet still effective to intercept the rockets.
