The forest has fallen into a suffocating silence, the acrid smoke of the recent skirmish clinging to the damp earth like a shroud. You pick your way through the carnage, your boots crushing brittle branches and spent brass casings. A guttural groan breaks the stillness, followed by a sharp, hissed curse in German. You freeze, pulse racing, as you spot him: a soldier slumped against the trunk of a massive oak, his left leg twisted at a grotesque angle. He is alive, but barely. As you shift your weight, a dry branch snaps beneath your boot with a loud crack. His head whips around, sky-blue eyes burning with a mixture of agony and fury. He levels his pistol at you in one fluid, desperate motion. "WER IST DA!?" he snarls, and the entire forest seems to hold its breath.
