6	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maxresdefault_3_328.jpg]]
7	An OSS agent, and Karl Fairburne's superior, contact, and middleman.
8	----
9	* BigGood: He's the one giving Lt. Fairburne many of his missions and vital intel, and is central to helping the Allies find people willing to help them fight the Nazis and Italian Fascists.
10	* ColonelBadass: Despite being a NonActionGuy, he's still counts due to his willingness to work behind Axis lines and his ability to help negotiate alliances with LaResistance and TheMafia.
11	* TheHandler: He's the one in Allied command who gives Karl missions directly, usually related to aiding the Allied war effort. By extension, he's also this to both LaResistance and TheMafia, succeeding in negotiating both to help the Allied cause by the middle of the campaign.
12	* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: [[spoiler:He falls hook, line, and sinker for Major Dorfmann's intelligence, which, unfortunately, leads to the massacre of the Allagra Partisans late in the campaign.]]
13	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: ZigZaggedTrope. While his decision to ally himself with [[TheDon Dinelli]] ultimately helps them to stop the Axis operations in the area, it also indirectly leads to [[spoiler:Sofia distrusting him and Karl, causing her and several of the partisans to be LuredIntoATrap and massacred.]]
14	* NonActionGuy: In the main story, he prefers staying away from combat, preferring to gather intel and spy on the Axis forces.

22	* AssassinationAttempt: [[spoiler:On the receiving end of one, courtesy of General Bohm and his new "Razor" missiles.]]

29	----
30	* TheFaceless: Her face is never revealed, due to only appearing when Karl is using a radio to contact her.
31	* MissionControl: She provides Karl several optional objectives through radio contact.
32	* MsExposition: In ''VideoGame/SniperElite5'', she narrates Karl Fairburne's after-action reports as well as the situation regarding Operation ''Kraken''.

39	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sniperelite4angel.jpg]]
40
41	Leader of the Allagran Partisans, and a former nurse.
42	----
43	* ATragedyOfImpulsiveness: [[spoiler:When Kessler leaks her her father's supposed location in Giovi Fiorini, Sofia ends up marching almost the entirety of the partisans without second thought...into a trap sprung by Bohm and Rothbauer, ultimately resulting in most of the Allagra Partisans getting wiped out or captured and executed. Only Lucio and his group of a few dozen survive, by not being within Giovi Fiorini at the time of the massacre.]]
44	* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler:Bohm shoots her in the head during Karl's raid on his mountain HQ.]]
45	* TheCameo: She has a very brief appearance in ''[[VideoGame/ZombieArmyTrilogy Zombie Army 4]]'', serving as your MissionControl in the Abbydon Asylum mission. [[spoiler:Apparently she never died in that series' continuity as her appareance takes place in 1946, three years after her death in [=SE4=].]]
46	* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler:She failed to take the time to consider the fact that the intelligence that Kessler leaked to her may have been fake or unreliable, and as a result of her impulsive actions, she and most of the Allagra Partisans are either killed or captured.]]
47	* 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]].
48	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:She shields Karl from Bohm and his men, giving the latter an opening but costing her her life.]]
49	* ItsAllMyFault: [[spoiler:Following her capture by Bohm, she tells Karl that it's her fault that the partisans were massacred.]]
50	* LuredIntoATrap: [[spoiler:Kessler leaks her false intelligence about her father being held at the interrogation block in Giovi Fiorini. Without thinking, she and most of her partisans raid the town, only to be met by prepared German forces and massacred.]]
51	* RebelLeader: Leader of the Allagran Partisans by the time Karl meets her. Notable in that she only became this when her father, the previous one, was taken away by Bohm and his men.
52	* RedBaron: She's known as "The Angel" by both the partisans and OSS, mainly due to her saving many of the former's lives just as they were being wiped out by German and Italian forces.
53	* TortureTechnician: Thanks to being a former nurse, she knows how to hurt her enemies when interrogating them, which she threatens to do with [[spoiler:Kessler]].
54	* WomanChild: Is accused of being this by Dr. Kessler [[spoiler:following the latter's capture]]. Given her attachment to her father and how she impulsively commands her partisans not long after, he's probably got a point.
55	* YouKilledMyFather: Part of her motivation in leading the partisans against the Nazis and Italian Fascists is to avenge her father, who was taken away and subsequently executed by General Bohm's men.
56	[[/folder]]

58	[[folder:Giancarlo]]
59	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maxresdefault_4_83.jpg]]
60
61	The first partisan Karl comes across. He later becomes one of Karl's and Weaver's regular contacts within the organization.
62	----
63	* IncurableCoughOfDeath: Is infected with Typhus early on in the story, resulting in him becoming chronically ill for the first half. Thankfully, Karl comes across Typhus vaccines, allowing him to be cured before his illness can become fatal.
64	* MauveShirt: Is among the few partisans aside from Sofia to have an importance to the plot [[spoiler:as well as being one of the few to survive.]]
65	* MrExposition: He's one of two partisans who provides vital information to Karl and Weaver throughout the story, the other being Lucio.
66	* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:He's among the few named partisans to survive, given that he wasn't present in the massacre that wiped the rest of them out.]]
67	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Despite [[spoiler:surviving the Giovi Fiorini massacre]], he isn't featured in the epilogue, leaving his final fate unknown.
68	[[/folder]]
69
70	[[folder:Lucio Baptiste]]
71	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20200422220651_1.jpg]]
72
73	Another one of Karl's contacts in the partisans, and Sofia's right-hand man.
74	----
75	* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: A high-ranking partisan member, and also capable of slaughtering an entire German platoon [[spoiler:even when most of the partisans are being massacred in an ambush.]]
76	* EnemyMine: In contrast to Sofia, who distrusts Dinelli and his gang as much as she hates the Nazis and Italian Fascists, Lucio, himself and his family having been threatened by TheMafia at one point, is still willing to form an alliance with them against the Germans and Italian Fascists, and it's thanks to Dinelli's gangsters that his wife and daughter are safely evacuated, and the partisans themselves receive additional weaponry and supplies through them.
77	* HappilyMarried: Through intelligence reports that Karl collects in different levels, it's revealed that he's married and has a daughter. He ends up joining the partisan movement in part to protect them.
78	* HypercompetentSidekick: He's far more levelheaded than Sofia when it comes to commanding the partisan movement, as mentioned in the numerous intelligence reports retrieved by Karl. One such example here is his willingness to help Salvatore Dinelli and his mafia gang fight the Fascists, despite Dinelli's men having threatened his family prior. [[spoiler:In fact, it's his group of partisans that ultimately end up surviving the Giovi Fiorini massacre that ends with Sofia's entire group wiped out.]]
79	* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Potentially, if Karl makes it late to the firefight between his partisan group and a squad of Germans, Lucio's body can be found among the casualties.]]
80	* MauveShirt: He's one of the few notable partisans with characterization [[spoiler:who can potentially be killed late in the story if Karl doesn't rescue his partisan group in time.]]
81	* MrExposition: His role is mainly to give Karl info on the partisans as well as the Italian fascists opposing them.
82	* NumberTwo: He's the one in charge of Allagra Partisans when Sofia's not around. Best shown in the Giovi Fiorini Mansion mission, where he manages to stall an entire German platoon with only a handful of men despite most of them being massacred only minutes before.
83	* SoleSurvivor: If Karl takes the right actions, [[spoiler:he and his group are among the few partisans to survive Bohm's ambush unscathed.]]
84	* VideoGameCaringPotential: [[spoiler:Karl can choose to perform a BigDamnHeroes moment and save Lucio and his group of surviving partisans by killing the German forces surrounding their position.]]
85	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Despite [[spoiler:potentially surviving the Giovi Fiorini massacre]] like Giancarlo, he isn't shown in the epilogue, leaving his fate ambiguous.

90	[[folder:Salvatore Dinelli]]
91	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20200423133319_1.jpg]]
92
93	Don of the Allagran Mafia, who later becomes a valuable ally for the Allies.
94	----
95	* AffablyEvil: He's the head of the local mafia, who is shown to be a rather friendly and approachable person to Karl during their only meeting.
96	* ArchEnemy: He's considers Piero Capo, head of the local Black Brigade and an ardent fascist, his, mainly due to Capo's desire to pillage and steal art from the local monastery.
97	* TheDon: Of the local mafia. It's due to this that he has eyes and ears all over Allagra in the form of his various mafiosi, something Weaver and Karl are keen on getting a hold of.
98	* EnemyMine: He's working with the Allied forces mainly because they both oppose the Nazis and the Italian fascists. In addition, despite having had bad blood with Lucio Baptiste and his family, Dinelli doesn't hesitate to evacuate the former's family to safety and supply the partisans with weapons, ammunition, and supplies, all to take down the Nazis and the Italian Fascists.
99	* EvenEvilHasStandards: He may be a criminal, but he's also a man of art and culture. Among the reasons he vehemently opposes the Nazis and Mussolini's fascists is due to them stealing precious artwork from the local monastery. He also finds [[BigBad General Bohm]] to be an irredeemable monster thanks to the atrocities committed in his name. TruthInTelevision as the real life Sicilian Mafia hated Mussolini's fascists and their German allies.
100	* IGaveMyWord: Following Capo's demise, Dinelli keeps his word of helping both the Allies and the partisans. First by helping Lucio Baptiste get his family to safety, providing the partisans with much-needed weapons and supplies, and by [[spoiler:leaking intel about Major Rothbauer to Weaver, and finally providing Karl transport and a safe passage through Axis lines to Bohm's mountain base.]]
101	* SmallRoleBigImpact: He only appears once onscreen, but his [[spoiler:alliance with the OSS and the partisans is what ultimately leads to General Bohm's plans being stopped for good.]]
102	* SpannerInTheWorks: Thanks to him and his gang, he's able to tip off Karl and Weaver about [[spoiler:part of Bohm's plans as well as help Karl sneak into the German General's base late in the campaign.]] Had he not allied with them, Karl and the OSS would have most likely failed to stop the German plans in time.

106	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20200423133451_1.jpg]]
107
108	A mafia enforcer, who becomes one of Karl's contacts by providing him vital intel on the Nazis.
109	----
110	* EnemyMine: Lampshaded by himself during his first meeting with Karl, noting that it's strange that Allied operatives and gangsters are now working in tandem.
111	* MrExposition: He's there mainly to give Karl vital intel on what the Germans are doing in the areas he's tasked with investigating.
112	* NeverBareheaded: Is always seen wearing a beret, which he wears in order to help conceal his identity from any Axis soldiers.
113	* NoNameGiven: His real name is never given.
114	* SpannerInTheWorks: He's among those responsible for stealing supplies from the Germans at the Lorino Dockyard, causing several important operations [[spoiler:including the delivery of important missile components]] to be delayed or hampered.

119	[[folder:General Heinz Böhm ('''Major Spoilers''')]]
120	[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Spoilers! Click Here To See His True Face.]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bhm.png[[/labelnote]]]]
121
122	-->''"The worst terrors are shapeless, formless. If no one knows who I am, I can be whoever I need to be."''
123
124	Known among the Allies as "The Butcher of Bologna", he is a mysterious German General handling Dr. Kessler's new missile project.
125	----
126	* AssholeVictim: Given how he orchestrated numerous massacres against both the partisans and innocent civilains, absolutely no one mourned for him when Karl killed him.
127	* BigBad: He's the primary source of conflict here, being the one responsible for the various massacres being carried out against partisans and civilians, not to mention handling Dr. Kessler's missile project.
128	* CardCarryingVillain: He tells Karl that he can be either a man or a monster during their final confrontation.
129	* CoolPlane: [[spoiler:He's managed to construct a Horten Ho.XVIII, a prototype jet bomber capable of carrying the Ms 300 "Razor" missiles without being detected by Allied radar, and capable of flying fast enough to evade Allied AntiAir fire.]]
130	* ContrastingSequelAntagonist:
131	** [[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, while BoringButPractical, is also 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.]]
132	** [[VideoGame/SniperEliteV2 Dr. Hermann Wolff]] is a NonActionBigBad who [[CommieNazis immediately sells out the Nazis to become a Soviet sympathizer]], while Böhm remains loyal to the Nazi cause throughout. 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.]]
133	* DarkIsEvil: Wears dark brown and black clothing, and is responsible for terrorizing the civilian population of Allagra.
134	* DoubleAgent: [[spoiler: As Dorfmann, he hands several non-vital German plans to Weaver, while also collecting any vital Allied intelligence himself to plan one step ahead.]]
135	* FauxAffablyEvil: When Karl finally meets him, he cheerfully discusses Nietzche to Karl, all the while planning on torturing and eventually killing him and [[spoiler:Sofia]].
136	* FinalBoss: [[spoiler:Unlike the previous two game's antagonists, Böhm is fought due to being in the Horten Flying Wing bomber and commanding its crew.]]
137	* 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.]]
138	* TheGhost: Throughout the campaign, his name is constantly brought up, but neither the Allies nor even the Axis have ever seen him in person.
139	* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:He kills Sofia during the final mission.]]
140	* 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 away.]]
141	* HopeCrusher: He enjoys inducing despair into his enemies, [[spoiler:as he demonstrates with Sofia]].
142	* IHaveManyNames: [[spoiler:He's also known as Hans Dorfmann, Weaver's informant within the German High Command.]]
143	* LaughingMad: Downplayed but once he reveals himself he's giggling and chuckling about his actions and plans.
144	* ManipulativeBastard: He's able to sweet talk the Allies into performing certain actions through the providing of German inteligence. The only person he never fools is Karl, but even then he isn't able to conclusively prove [[spoiler:Kessler's capture was a setup until it's too late.]]
145	* MasterOfDisguise: Thanks to no one having ever seen him in person, he can pose as other individuals [[spoiler:such as Major Dorfmann. Even after revealing his true identity to Karl, he's dressed in Dorfmann's civilian clothes.]]
146	* NearVillainVictory: [[spoiler:He comes ''remarkably'' close to stopping Operation Avalanche and killing Gen. Eisenhower when he boards his plane and manages to take off. It's only Karl's ImprobableAimingSkills that prevent disaster from happening.]]
147	* NoOneSeesTheBoss: Nobody knows his true identity, not even his own men or even his Italian allies. [[spoiler:Which makes it easy for him to assume another identity in Major Dorfmann.]]
148	* TheMole: [[spoiler:As Dorfmann, he has access to Allied intelligence through Weaver.]]
149	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: [[spoiler:Just as he's escaping in his new bomber]], he takes the time to give Karl a long one through a loudspeaker about how he sank the ''Orchidea'', how Karl couldn't save [[spoiler:Sofia]], and how he's going to help Germany win the war.
150	* StupidJetpackHitler: He's the one heading Dr. Kessler's missile project, and is thus responsible for their existence. [[spoiler:He even manages to develop an advanced aircraft capable of delivering said missiles without being intercepted by Allied fighters, too.]]
151	* 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.]]
152	* VillainousValor: Pretty much the only BigBad in the series not afraid to gets his hands dirty or to confront opponents who might shoot back at him. During his face-to-face confrontation with Karl at the end of the game, once Karl starts shooting back his bodyguards pretty much have to drag him away to prevent him from getting into a shootout with Karl right then and there.
153	* WalkingSpoiler: Due to [[spoiler:actually being Major Dorfmann, Weaver's informant.]]
154	* YouAreTooLate: Tells Karl during their confrontation that he cannot stop his EvilPlan. [[spoiler:Because he's managed to create a delivery system for his missiles that cannot be stopped by Allied fighters nor AntiAir fire: a flying-wing jet bomber that's years ahead of its time.]] And, if Karl isn't fast enough, [[spoiler:he most certainly can and will get away.]]

157	[[folder:Dr. Andreas Kessler]]
158	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kessler.jpg]]
159
160	A German scientist specializing in rocket technology, and the one responsible for the creation of a revolutionary new anti-ship missile system, the Ms 300 "Razor".
161	----
162	* TheAlcoholic: According to Allied intelligence, he's very fond of drinking. When Karl stumbles across his quarters in the Maggazeno Facility, it's littered with dozens of bottles, with him being drunk on his bed. [[spoiler:It also becomes a plot point when it's revealed that it's thanks to his alcoholism that he's dying of liver cancer.]]
163	* BaldOfEvil: Bald, and a very fanatic Nazi loyal to Bohm.
164	* BeardOfEvil: Sports a white beard, and is a supporter of the Nazi regime.
165	* BunnyEarsLawyer: He's an immense alcoholic who reeks of the stuff, but he's also a pioneer in the development of rocket and missile technology.
166	* CoDragons: With Major Rothbauer, to Bohm. While Rothbauer is in terms of military rank Bohm's NumberTwo, Kessler is the one responsible for handling the missiles Bohm intends on using against Allied shipping.
167	* TheEvilGenius: Among Bohm's inner circle, he's the smartest one, being a rocket scientist and all.
168	* FatBastard: Just as plump as Salvatore Dinelli, but far more evil.
169	* FunctionalAddict: Despite being an alcoholic and being drunk half of the time, he's still managed to help develop a revolutionary guided missile system.
170	* LivingMacGuffin: The Allies want him as he has vital information on advanced rocket technology.
171	* SecretlyDying: [[spoiler:It's revealed late in the campaign that he's actually dying of liver cancer, thus why he agreed to Bohm leaving him to the Allies, as he will be of no further use to anyone.]]
172	* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:He's the only major antagonist not killed by Karl in the main campaign. However, given he's already dying of cancer, he won't have much time left anyway.]]
173	* StupidJetpackHitler: He's responsible for the development of advanced anti-ship missiles capable of sinking any Allied ship in a single hit. In addition, he's also in close contact with [[VideoGame/SniperEliteV2 Dr. Hermann Wolff]], one of the key scientists involved in the V2 rocket program, as evidenced by the intel Karl retrieves.
174	* TrojanHorse: [[spoiler:Allows himself to be captured by Karl so that he can divulge false intel to Sofia regarding her father, allowing the partisans to be LuredIntoATrap and massacred by prepared German forces. In addition, he will not be much of use to the Allies as well, due to already dying of liver cancer.]]
175	* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: A willing example, as [[spoiler:he knows he's dying of liver cancer and will be of no further use to anyone. Thus, he asks Bohm to set him up to be captured by Karl and the Allies in order to help his superior to spring a trap against the partisans.]]
176	[[/folder]]

178	[[folder:Major Klaus Rothbauer]]
179	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rothbauer.jpg]]
180
181	General Bohm's confidant and right-hand man.
182	----
183	* ArcVillain: Main antagonist of the 7th mission, and the one behind the [[spoiler:massacre of the Allagra partisans.]]
184	* BaldOfEvil: Like Kessler, he's bald, and a loyal follower of Bohm and the Nazis.
185	* CharacterDeath: Karl kills him as part of his main objectives.
186	* CoDragons: With Kessler to Bohm. While Kessler handles the missile project, Rothbauer is responsible for keeping the German General's EvilPlan a secret.
187	* TheConfidant: He's the one tasked by General Bohm with handling any top-secret affairs. [[spoiler:Which is why Bohm, as Dorfmann, tips off the Allies about his location.]]
188	* UnwittingPawn: Ultimately, he was nothing more than another tool Bohm used to get his EvilPlan going, as the intel Karl retrieves during the Giovi Fiorini Mansion mission reveals.
189	* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Indirect example. [[spoiler:Following Kessler's capture and the Allagra partisans being massacred, enough German troops are diverted away from Rothbauer's mansion to allow an opening for Karl to kill him. Intel retrieved during the mission reveals Bohm essentially left his own confidant to be killed.]]

193	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/generaltobiasschmidt.png]]
194
195	A high-ranking Luftwaffe General in charge of San Cellini's airbase, and Karl's first target.
196	----
197	* ArcVillain: Of the San Cellini Island mission, given that he's the one in command of the German garrison there.
198	* CharacterDeath: Karl kills him in order to extract intel on the German missile operation.
199	* PropagandaPiece: InUniverse example. He turned the entire sinking of the SS ''Orchidea'' into this, down to littering the entire island of San Cellini with cameras.
200	* StarterVillain: He's the first Axis officer Karl goes after, setting up the rest of the game's plot.

205
206	Head of the Black Brigade in Allagra, and a fanatical Italian fascist.
207	----
208	* AndThereWasMuchRejoicing: Upon Karl killing and then confirming Capo's death to Dinelli, he, the civilian populace of Allagra, and the partisans all feel relieved at his death.
209	* ArcVillain: Of the Abrunza Monastery mission, where he, with help from local German forces, is pillaging the art from the titular monastery in order to sell to the black market.
210	* ArchEnemy: He considers Salvatore Dinelli as this, to the point that he takes the time to speak out against TheDon when pillaging through the monastery's art collection.
211	* AssholeVictim: No one, not even his German allies, felt sorry for his demise.
212	* CharacterDeath: Karl kills him in order to secure an alliance with Dinelli and TheMafia.
213	* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: According to Dinelli, the rosary he keeps with him on all times is in fact from his mother, a sign that he loved and still sees her in high regard.
214	* LesCollaborateurs: Aside from being an ardent fascist, he is also in close contact with General Bohm through Rothbauer.

220	Corrupt Harbormaster of the Lorrino Dockyard, and a close contact of Piero Capo.
221	----
222	* ArcVillain: Of the Lorrino Dockyard mission, where he's responsible for selling out several partisans to the Germans.
223	* LesCollaborateurs: He willingly sells out several partisans and their sympathizers to Bohm and his men for interrogation. All so he can keep his position as Harbormaster.

226	[[folder:Admiral Herman Richter]]
227	[[quoteright:192:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/herman_richterpng.png]]
228
229	A Kriegsmarine Admiral, and commander of the U-boat base on Sendari Island. Karl is initially tasked with assassinating him, but circumstances for the Allied sniper soon change those plans...
230	----
231	* ArcVillain: Subverted. Karl finds him long dead by the time he gets to Sendari Island, and Hitler's double is instead the sniper's main target once Karl learns of the Fuhrer's presence on the island.
232	* MakeAnExampleOfThem: On the receiving end of this by none other than Hitler's double, after an Allied informant is revealed to have leaked the Sendari base's existence to US and British intelligence.
233	* PosthumousCharacter: Karl only meets him as a corpse hung on a noose by the time the former arrives on Sendari.
234	* YouHaveFailedMe: Hitler's double has him hanged and has his body left, in order to [[MakeAnExampleOfThem make an example to the rest of the Sendari garrison]] for allowing [[TheMole an Allied agent]] access to important intel.

240	Hitler's favorite scientist, and the man responsible for the Deathstorm Project.
241	----
242	* ArcVillain: Of the 3rd Deathstorm mission, where Karl is tasked with killing him and destroying his project for good.
243	* BaldOfEvil: Like Dr. Kessler, he's bald, and is part of Hitler's inner circle.
244	* BigBad: Of the Deathstorm DownloadableContent campaigns. All of the actions done by the Germans in attempting to complete the titular project acted under his personal orders.
245	* CharacterDeath: Karl kills him in order to retrieve the reactor keys from him, as well as to stop the Deathstorm Project for good.
246	* TheEvilGenius: A brilliant German scientist, and also a fanatical supporter of Hitler.
247	* SecretWeapon: What Deathstorm, his brainchild, turns out to be: a crude type of nuclear device designed to rain radioactive materials over Allied landing beaches in the event of an invasion of Europe.
248	* StupidJetpackHitler: He's responsible for the Nazis developing a crude, but potentially devastating, nuclear weapon designed to rain radioactive materials onto advancing Allied troops.

253	[[caption-width-right:350:From left:Dr. Joseph Wernicke, Dr. Siegfried Kehrer, and Dr. Edmund Hanel]]
254	A trio of German scientists of different fields, working directly under Prof. Bosch. The Alsos Mission wants them in order to find out how Deathstorm works.
255	----
256	* FlatCharacter: Their personalities aren't developed much, with their main roles in the story each being a LivingMacGuffin for the Alsos Mission as well as associate of Prof. Bosch.
257	* LivingMacGuffin: Karl is given the optional task of capturing any of them, as all three of them hold vital information that the Manhattan Project could use.
258	* NonLethalKO: Karl can get up close to them and punch them into unconsciousness, allowing them to be taken away and hidden onto the back of a truck.
259	* StupidJetpackHitler:
260	** They're helping to develop nuclear weapons for the 3rd Reich, working directly under Prof. Bosch in order to help him finish it before the Allies can invade Western Europe.
261	** Kehrer himself is responsible for the development of the Neunfast prototype rocket launcher, a state-of-the-art system far more advanced than the standard-issue Panzerfaust.
262	* VideoGameCaringPotential: Karl can knock out all three of them and save all three of them [[spoiler:from the destruction of the nuclear warhead and the town it was built in]]. An achievement can be netted for this.
263	* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Karl can simply kill them alongside the entire German garrison and take their research. Again, an achievement can be gained from this.

269	An elite German Paratrooper unit first encountered by Karl during the 2nd Deathstorm mission.
270	----
271	* AttackPatternAlpha: In the 2nd Deathstorm level, Karl must find a special transmission code (later revealed to be " Iron Scorpion") in order to get them to move into the Italian town in order to ambush them.
272	* AwesomePersonnelCarrier: In both appearances, they're always shown being accompanied by heavily-armed half-tracks and later Armored Cars.
273	* ColdSniper: Several of their members are highly trained snipers, distinguished by their black ski masks and black sniper rifles.
274	* DarkIsEvil: All of them wear black uniforms, and are shown guarding important Nazi personnel as well as partaking in war crimes.
275	* EliteMooks: All of their members are essentially elite versions of the existing German troop types sans the standard Infantry. Their standard member alone is already this to the Jager Troops, who are already EliteMooks themselves.
276	* TheEnemyWeaponsAreBetter: Compared to the weapons Karl normally uses during missions, these guys pack much better firepower on average, including a number of rare guns like the [=FG42=] and Neunfaust (both of which are weapons Karl cannot spawn with at the start of a level).
277	* {{Expy}}: Of the HYDRA soldiers from ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'', particularly during the early parts of the film. Like them, they are elite and heavily armed German soldiers armed with advanced weaponry, wear all-black uniforms, and are guarding important German scientists.
278	* FacelessGoons: With the exceptions of the members shown in the page image as well as their officers, all of them wear black ski masks in order to look more intimidating to their enemies.
279	* MoreDakka: Valkyrie Officers are armed with the Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer machine-pistol, which can be a nasty shock to anyone who assumes that they're armed only with a dinky little handgun.
280	* PraetorianGuard: They often serve as bodyguards for important Axis [=VIPs=], including Professor Bosch and at least two of the scientists working under him.
281	* SuperPrototype: They have access to the Neunfaust, an experimental rocket launcher that is far superior to the Panzerfaust used by regular German troops.

288
289	An Italian nuclear physicist who is forced by the Germans into helping develop nuclear weaponry for them.
290	----
291	* HeroicSuicide: [[spoiler:He shoots himself in the head to avoid divulging any important information to the Germans.]]
292	* LivingMacGuffin: The Germans consider him as one, due to his expertise in nuclear physics. [[spoiler:Which is why Galvani chose the only way out: to kill himself and hide his existing research for the Allies to find.]]
293	* SmallRoleBigImpact: [[spoiler:His suicide delays the development of Deathstorm, and gives Karl and the OSS time to track down the place where the project is being carried out.]]

299	Antonello's wife, whom the Germans suspect is an Allied spy.
300	----
301	* DamselInDistress: The Germans have her under house arrest. Thus, Karl is tasked with freeing her and helping her to escape.
302	* DismantledMacguffin: Justified. She's separated her music box, which contains her husband's research notes, from the key used to open it in order to prevent the Germans from opening it, much less find the notes in question.
303	* TheMole: The Allies know about Dr. Galvani's existence thanks to her leaking info to them.
304	* SmallRoleBigImpact: She has a few seconds worth of screentime, but those few seconds prove vital as [[spoiler:she's managed to succeed in hiding Dr. Galvani's nuclear research from the Germans by hiding them in a music box, allowing Karl to find said music box and hand the research over to the Alsos Mission instead.]]
