When you play through the missions on Call Of Duty: United Offensive, and
complete a campaign, you'll be awarded with a special list of the locations
you've fought through and some text explaining the history of that part of the
war, or what your objectives were while playing through. Each of these
unlockable menu's only shows up once, and there's only three of them, one for
American, one for British and of course one for Russian. Once you've seen them,
the only way to see them again is to play through the missions, so I've made
this short guide which lists all of the text you'll find to save you the
trouble of having to play through again if you wish to improve your knowledge
of World War Two.
It's not much of a game play guide, but it does contain information from inside
the game and will probably be of some enjoyment to anyone interested in World
War Two, or Call Of Duty.
Enjoy.

Battle Of Bastogne
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Synopsis:
On December 19, 1944, General McAuliffe was ordered to take his 101st Airborne
Infantry Division and "Hold Bastogne". Against overwhelming odds, and facing
one of the coldest winters in years, the men of the 101st Airborne Division,
along with other airborne and armored units, held the line at Bastogne. On
December 26th, after eight days of intense bombing and incessant artillery
barrages, the seige was broken when elements of Patton's Third Army broke
through, relieving the encircled troops. By the end of the battle of Bastogne,
the 101st airborne had suffered casualties of 105 officers and 1,536 enlisted
men. After the breakout from Bastogne, the 101st moved on to the Moder river
sector, through Germany ultimately reaching Hitler's private mountain retreat:
"Eagles Nest".

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Following a heavy barrage, the line was attacked by enemy forces from north of
Bois Jacques. The enemy attacked in force with armor and panzer grenadiers
along the entire battalion front. Friendly jeep recon units, who trapped in
advancing German forces, escaped to the battalion lines and provided valuable
information on the composition of the enemy units. The attack was repelled with
the assistance of friendly armor. Remainder of enemy units retreated towards
Foy.

In a planned night operation, Sergeants Moody and Jones successfully attacked a
battery of German 8.8 cm cannons operating at a nearby farmhouse. At the
farmhouse, they freed captured troopers who were reported MIA. Meanwhile, third
squad led by Sgt. Ramirez secured the crossroads on the Bastogne-Foy road. This
was critical in facilitating the upcoming assault on Foy. First and second
squads then assisted Sgt. Ramirez and thwarted any attempts by the enemy to
reinforce, ensuring that the objective remained in our hands.

Dog, Easy and Fox companies, as well as elements from 11th armored division
assaulted and captured the town of Foy creating a clear path to Noville. There
was a large enemy presence including well directed mortar and Artillery fire
resulting in the loss of some armor. Sgt. Moody and his squad neutralized an 88
as well as a tiger that was blocking the Shermans' advance. After the town was
under our control, the Germans launched a counterattack from across the river.
Troopers were dispatches to flush out the remaining entrenched Germans set up
in a nearby barn.

Airborne troopers led by Capt. Foley -in conjunction with the 11th armored
division entered the town of Noville on 13 January 1945. Initially there was
light resistance, but about halfway through the clearing operation, friendly
forces were bombarded by pre-sighted enemy artillery. After our forces had
secured the town, the Germans launched a counter-offensive. This was
successfully held at bay by the remaining infantry in the chateau, until such
time as P-47's could assist. Remaining German force retreated north.

British Special Operations Synopsis
In July of 1940, following the German occupation of France, Winston Churchill
proposed for the formation of the Special Operations Executive, or "SOE". These
highly trained agents were inserted into occupied areas where they were to
assist local resistance groups and promote acts of sabotage. By the war's end,
the SOE employed around 14,000 people of whom 3,100 were active agents. The
year 1941 saw the creation of another elite unit: The Special Air Service. The
"SAS" conducted daring guerrilla raids, destroying high value targets including
supply depots, trains, and airfields. These operations were so successful and
damaging to the German war effort that Hitler himself decreed that all SAS
troops were "very dangerous men, to be ruthlessly exterminated".

September 8, 1941
On September 2, 1941, No. 90 squadron flight "B" flew an unescorted strategic
bombing mission over eastern Holland. They encountered strong Luftwaffe
resistance as well as heavy flak. This resulted in the loss of at least 5 of
the Fortress I aircraft. With the exception of "A" for Andy, all crew members
perished. Gunner James Doyle successfully bailed out over occupied Holland and
was later retrieved by SOE and local Resistance Operatives. As a result of this
latest failed mission, all daytime raids using Fortress I will be discontinued
and are subject to review.

TOP SECRET
SOE Section: Holland Weekly Report. Sept. 9, 1941
Mission Summary
On September 2, 1941, while on a sabotage mission in Holland, we rescued a
downed RAF gunner. Rather than waiting in safety until we could return, he
insisted on joining our group. Although we came under fire numerous times, we
succeeded in destroying our objective. This Gunner, named James Doyle, showed a
natural ability with firearms and explosives and an innate sense of calm under
pressure. I recommend he be transferred to Guildford for induction into S.O.E.
training. I feel that his potential is being wasted in his current service.

Mission Summary Page 1
On July 12, 1943, we Infiltrated and sabotaged a battery of German 16 inch
Naval guns on the southeastern tip of Sicily. Insertion was by means of a
captured civilian fishing craft. We successfully removed the beach sentry as
well as the detail at the lighthouse (where we planted charges as a
diversionary tactic). Enemy troop strength in the nearby town was greatly
underestimated. These troops attacked the fort en masse, making escape
difficult. We escaped in some captured German vehicles. En route to the coast
the Kubelwagon carrying the SAS troops sustained a direct hit from a panzer,
killing all aboard in his current service.

Mission Summary Page 2
Doyle and I managed to escape the fate of the SAS troops. Resistance from enemy
forces denied us our original escape route to the boat. We were forced to enter
the nearby town to evade capture. Eventually, we were forced to continue on
foot. As we made our way to the beach, our escape boat was destroyed, killing
the driver. We captured an idle PT boat. Shortly after our escape, a number of
German assault boats appeared on the scene. After dispatching the enemy boats,
we were able to confirm the total destruction of the target and return to the
HMS Ulster Monarch.

Battle Of Kursk
Synopsis:
In an effort to reaffirm the military might of the Third Reich after the
devastating defeat at Stalingrad, the Wehrmacht planned a daring offensive
against the Kursk salient, an exposed bulge in the center of the Soviet lines.
Due to bad weather, the German attack, codenamed "Operation Citadel", was
postponed until July 1943. This delay gave the Soviets time to prepare a
formidable defensive network consisting of miles of trenches and barbed wire
as well as hundreds of thousands of anti-tank and anti-personnel mines. The
battle of Kursk was to be the last major German offensive on the Eastern Front.
Over a period of eight days, the battle raged on, culminating in what would
prove to be the largest tank battle in history. After this battle, German
armies in the east were in continuous retreat until the war's end.

Report of Small unit action:
Vorohnezh Front, July 5, 1943
6th Guards Army, 67 Guards Rifle Division
Third squad arrived with the other new conscripts at the temporary railhead at
Cherkasskoye. Under heavy bombardment, the men were trucked to the trenches.
Immediately after the barrage ceased, the German assault began. The defences
held, save for a small incursion on the right flank. Third squad showed
distinction on several occasions during the battle. Not only were they
successful in holding the line against overwhelming odds, they also faced
direct fire to destroy three Elefant tanks. They moved on to hold the northern
edge of Cherkasskoye until reinforcements arrived.

Report of Small unit action:
Prokhorovka, July 12, 1943 Page 1
6th Guards Army, 67 Guards Rifle Division
Third squad arrived at Ponyri station, escorting tanks from the 5th Guards Tank
Army. Our T-34's and infantry forces pushed through and recaptured the Station.
All tanks were destroyed as they entered the central area of town. Our infantry
forces swept through the town, and captured the tank repair facility in the
tractor factory. By capturing this objective we were able to deny the enemy the
ability to repair their Panzer IV tanks. All remaining German forces were
driven out of town to the North.

Report of Small unit action:
Prokhorovka, July 12, 1943
5th Guards Tank Army, 2nd Guards Tank Division
Our tank platoon pursued and intercepted a retreating column of German armor.
Fighting through their emplaced forces and artillery at the bridge, we pursued
the armor column through the outskirts or Prokhorovka. As the majority of our
platoon followed them around the edge of town, a small detachment broke off.
This detachment met up with the Infantry forces of the 6th Guards Army and
moved through the town to near the main bridge over the river Psel, blocking
the enemy's escape until our platoon could move in and destroy them.

Kharkov, August 20, 1943 Page 1
7th Guards Army, 15 Guards Rifle Division
Immediately after transferring to our new unit, we were deployed to the
outskirts of Kharkov. The battle, then already 9 days old, had left the city in
ruins. The destroyed structures proved to be ideal terrain for enemy snipers
and hidden anti-tank emplacements. In support of the 27 Guards Tank Army,
members of my squad moved forward to positions ahead of the main force to spot
for artillery units in the rear. After neutralizing 3 of the anti-tank
positions, the squad moved closer to the main objective, Kharkov central train
station.

7th Guards Army, 15 Guards Rifle Division
After fighting through Kharkov, third squad moved onto the train station. The
main square in front of the station was heavily defended and mired with
anti-tank obstacles. Private Petrenko served with distinction when he defended
our engineers while they set charges on the obstructions. Once the square was
in our control, the Germans retaliated with a bombing attack. This was thwarted
by our forces, by turning their own weapons against them. At the station, we
held back a German counterattack until the troop train arrived with fresh
reinforcements. Kharkov was ours once again.
