Mission:Ubelmann the Unknown - Rescue the historians from the 5th Column

Rescue the historians from the 5th Column

Briefing

Apparently the 5th Column isn't satisfied with stealing World War II documents. Now they're actually stealing World War II historians! Several experts in the era have been reported missing. I need you to rescue those historians from the 5th Column!

Mission Acceptance

Something tells me the 5th Column's interest is more than academic.

Unnecessary Solicitation

You've got to get those historians to safety.

Mission Objective(s)

The 5th Column aren't looking into the past out of simple curiosity. There must be something they hope to gain.

• Save kidnapped WWII historians
  • 5 historians to rescue

You rescued the historians from the 5th Column.

The historian's story

One of the historians you rescued told you:

'After they kidnapped us, a peculiar man arrived to interrogate us. The rest of them all acted like he was in charge. His name was Ubelmann, and he wanted to know everything I knew about the history of the Second World War. He knew a lot, but he had the oddest gaps in his knowledge. For example, when we started talking about the North Africa campaign, he knew who Rommel was, but he didn't know how he died. As I said, very strange.'

Rescued Historians

Upon Rescue

Historian: I feel like I've just been through D-Day!

Historian: That was more exciting than studying the battle of Stalingrad!

Historian: I feel like I just spent a month on Iwo Jima!

Historian: By Jove! You really gave them a sound thrashing!

Historian: You've saved me as sure as Patton saved Bastogne. I've some info that may be important to you.

Debriefing

Whatever the reason, the 5th Column's sudden interest in history only seems to be growing. Something tells me that this 'Ubelmann' character is the key, but I wonder what it's all about?
