* FauxActionGirl: Has hints of this with her deeds mostly happening off-screen, who inherited her position as leader of the local resistance from her father and ultimately leads them into an obvious trap, and her confrontation with [[spoiler:Bohm has her barely put up a fight before killed]].

* UnderestimatingBadassery: What ultimately costs him his life and his plan. [[spoiler:He ''very nearly'' manages to get away and take off in his advanced jet bomber, only for Karl's ImprobableAimingSkills to save the day when the latter snipes his plane's engines and the missile warhead on his plane, causing it to crash and killing Bohm.]]

** [[VideoGame/SniperEliteIII General Franz Vahlen]]'s Project Seuche was AwesomeButImpractical from the start and suffered from continous problems and delays in production. Böhm's missile project, in contrast, is far more successful even during the testing stages, with several Allied merchant vessels being sunk, including the spy ship ''Orchidea'', as shown in the opening. Also, while Vahlen was widely known even amongst Allied intelligence due to his reputation, they had a hard time researching on Böhm, due to [[NoOneSeesTheBoss efforts not to be seen by anyone]]. Vahlen, when finally confronted by Karl, is a NonActionBigBad and chooses to stay away from any fighting, and is TheUnfought. Böhm? He [[spoiler:leads an assassination attempt slash counterattack on General Eisenhower and the Allied Invasion fleet just before Operation Avalanche begins. He and his Horten Flying Wing serve as the FinalBoss.]]

Also, Karl never meets Wolff face-to-face, and simply shoots him in the head for his trouble. Böhm [[spoiler:by contrast, holds Karl at gunpoint, and is shown willing to get his hands dirty by directly taking part in the attempted assassination of Gen. Eisenhower and the pre-emptive strike on the ''Avalanche'' invasion fleet.]]

* GetBackHereBoss: [[spoiler:During the final segment of the Allagra Fortress mission, Karl must go after Gen. Böhm, who attempts to escape in his Horten Flying Wing bomber. While the bomber itself is heavily armored, Karl can bring it down by shooting either it's four engines or the Ms 300 "Razor" missile slung underneath it.]]


Added DiffLines:

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:One way of taking him and his bomber out is by shooting the Razor missile, one of the very same ones he's commissioned, slung underneath his plane as he's getting way.]]
