Briefing[]
Scuttling the U-529 - Trondheim, Norway
February 12, 1943
It appears that the mission plan has gone awry. You're going to have to go incognito if you're going to have chance of surviving this, Powell. Grab an officer's uniform from a locker room in the submarine facility and stick to speaking German until you're out of there.
Here are the essentials you need to know while operating in disguise:
1. Always show your papers when asked.
2. Don't walk around with a weapon drawn, as it will immediately arouse suspicion.
3.To upgrade to a higher security level, locate a set of officer's papers. You may be forced to eliminate an officer in order to get to them.
4.If all else fails, try to isolate a troublesome officer before eliminating him.
Destroy the Naxos prototype, get into the U-529, plant the explosives in the bow, and find another way out of the pens.

Trivia[]
- After the player destroys Naxos and deals with the scientists, there is a chance that the mechanics and the officer will be able to reveal the player, even if the scientists did not have time to shoot.
- After the player gets out of the submarine, then behind gate you can see that despite the alarm the mechanic continues to hit something with a hammer (though he may attack the player if he notices).
- Above the first submarine can be seen 10.5 cm SK L/45 raised crane. If player follow the crane and wait until it stops, the gun will start to twitch strangely.
- Player will see a box at the submarine (about which security guard is) not lie on the floor and in the air.
- If player get to the officer's room faster than the officer, player can get new papers without killing him.
- Quite strange that submarines have the emblems of the two flotillas.
- After Powell escapes the U-boat, the gate leading to the next subchapter will open if all German guards on the map are killed. Going through the door ends the sub-level, even if bombs are not detonated yet.
- The explosion did not really sink the submarine; However, in the next subchapter, looking back through the closed gate, the player will notice the sub is gone.
- As soon as the player enters the ventilation shafts, the level ends. However, with the help of noclip you can see that further along the ventilation shaft is a long way (and quite detailed), which leads to the place where the next level begins. This means that it was originally planned that the player has been going on for ventilation.
- On the U-529, the "Running Devil with a torch" emblem is seen. Historically, this logo was seen on three submarines: U-57, U-96 (although in this case the devil did not run) and the famous U-552.
- The submarines at level belong to the 7th, 9th and 11th U-boat Flotilla. Interestingly, none of them were actually based in Trondheim.
- All submarines in the level are equipped with flak 3.7cm FlaK M42, which entered service by autumn of 1943, but this level is set in February '43, which is anachronistic.
