It was 1945 and

At the beginning of this level, Peter is captured and just as Peter is about to be dealt with, Sergeant Rezernov arrives at the head of his unit and saves your life. What is this called, fate! Pick up your weapon and follow the sergeant to the river and later destroy the German defences. On the way you will encounter several German King Tiger tanks, take out the tanks with rocket launchers, usually 2-3 shots a tank. You will then be instructed to stay with the Sergeant in a barn, after which a King Tiger tank suddenly comes out of the barn and is taken out with an anti-tank rocket launcher. After this, continue with the Sergeant through the barn and clear the German camp of the enemy. The sentry tower should be blown up with a bazooka and there is usually bazooka ammunition near the tower. After the last German in the camp has been eliminated. Mission complete!
