ASSASSINATION!

One interesting "What-if" involves the
relative closeness of Hitler's bunker in
Prussia (the fabled Wolf's Lair) to
Russian airfields.  Had Soviet
intelligence been able to piece together
enough clues, or had had an informer, an
assassination attempt might have been
possible by a long range bomber.

MISSION

Intelligence has discovered the location
of Hitler's Prussian headquarters.  You
are to take your Pe-8 in at low altitude
to avoid radar and climb to bombing
altitude (5,000 feet).  Make the turn at
checkpoint 1.  Take out the center
building at checkpoint 2 (Prussian
Strongpoint).  Due to the immense
strength and protection of the bunker,
score yourself as follows:
0-2 bomb hits = Hitler is unharmed.
3-4  "    "   = Hitler is slightly hurt.
5-6  "    "   = Hitler is severely hurt.
7-8 bomb hits = Hitler is dead.
This will require you to drop all the
bombs almost at the same time.

NOTES

This is a dawn mission (after having
flown in all night).
Try 40 degrees forward on your bombsight
at 81 per cent engine power, at 5,000
feet.
