Kriegsmarines appear in the second mission. In the U-Boat pen, Kriegsmarine forces can be seen on-board the U-Boats and outside of it guarding the area. They usually salute to the player when they're undercover, and they never check for ID papers. They commonly use MP-40's and Kar98k's.
In Breakthrough a single Kriegsmarine Guard appears in the level Caltagirone patroling the first two hangar bays. Later a few more of them appear in the level Anzio.
The Kriegsmarine were supposed to wear helmets like they do in the other games, but for reasons unknown these were cut from the final game. They were to use the same helmet model as the Wehrmacht Heer, but with the tri-color shield of the German Empire painted on the side of the helmet. The texture is still in the game-files.

Trivia[]
Medal of Honor (1999)[]
- All the Kriegsmarine enemies wear indigo-colored uniforms the bear little resemblance to the actual Kreigsmarine. None of the enemies wear black uniforms or white peaked caps as they should.
- While the models are not entirely clear, the ranks of the sailor, officer and docks guard are presumably Seaman 1st class, Machinist Mate 2nd class and Seaman 2nd class respectively.
Medal of Honor: European Assault[]
- The Kreigsmarine sailors wear hats with the writing "Schlachtschiff Bismarck" (battleship Bismarck), which means they are attached to the famous German battleship The Bismarck. The Bismarck's sister ship, The Tirpitz is also mentioned ingame.
