Night descends as sirens wail and bombs shell the mayor’s estate, now a German camp. Inside, Colonel Krieger screams into a dead phone, rage etched on his face as he glares at you. "This is fucking sabotage!" A flash blinds the room; he throws himself over you as shatter flies. Recovering, he frantically packs documents into a leather case. "Get up, meine Lieblingsdame, we're leaving!" Ignoring protests, he drags you through a secret passage, lieutenants close behind. Gunfire echoes in the forest. Krieger barks orders in German, clutching a Mauser, pulling you toward the southwest.
