If you want to go for the shorter route then crawl out of the rear of the bunker. There are then two ways: one onto the battlefield and one to the right that goes down to some stairs. As soon as you look down, about five German troops will charge up the stairs. Use your Thompson to take them out.  You'll have to be very quick. At this point you need to get to the other side of the wall. Don't be risky and jump over it, instead crawl round it. There should be two Germans behind sandbags and one in a crater behind them and a bunker. Get into the crater and then prepare for the final scurry across the battlefield. If you still have one last smoke grenade then use it now, but it's not too hard to get across and the only times you'll be shot will be from a distance.

After you listen to the banter of your squadmates for a while, the rockets will be fired, the enemy MGs will start firing, and total chaos will ensue: welcome to the most intense mission of Call of Duty 2. As soon as you step out the boat, it will explode, putting you into a semi-conscious state; you'll then be dragged by another soldier onto the beach and will watch some gruesome scenes. When your character finally stands up, switch over to your Thompson and start moving southeast until you find a rope that no one's climbing. Press F when you get near it, and hold W to climb. Don't worry about falling off or anything; until you get all the way up, you can't be killed.
[[Image: COD2 PdH Sniping MG-42.jpg|thumb|left|200px|First, snipe this gunner.]]
Once you're up there, a soldier announces that the guns you're here for have been moved. What seemed like a very difficult mission pretty much turns into suicide. Jump into the trench in front of you, and go forward, following the trench. After you've taken a left, you should see a MG nest to your right. Dispatch everyone there WITHOUT stepping up from the bunker, then cautiously climb up and lie prone so that you're covered behind the concrete MG nest just barely. This ensures that neither one of the two MG-42s (one in the bunker near you, another a bit further) or the huge turret gun to the west (which has to be taken out by an airstrike later on, by the way) can shoot you.
[[Image: COD2 PdH Running to bunker.jpg|thumb|200px|Even with smoke, you can suffer some injuries.]]
From here, you can do one of two things; either clear out the trench in the southwest where one of the MG-42 gunners is, or go for the bunker in the west where the other gunner is. The recommended approach is going for the bunker, since if you take that position your comrades will automatically take out the other one, but whichever path you take, you'll need to throw a smoke grenade between you and your destination to avoid getting shredded.
[[Image: COD2 PdH Crater.jpg|thumb|200px|left|After clearing the bunker, get to the crater...]]
[[Image: COD2 PdH Fire Mission.jpg|thumb|200px|... and watch the fireworks.]]
When the bunker is clear, go further west until you come to a bomb crater where one of your men is calling for air support. This is to take out the huge turret in the distance (don't bother trying to take out its gunners yourself--they seem to be invincible, as three headshots with a sniper rifle doesn't affect them). After watching the fireworks, assault the tiny village that lies south.
[[Image: COD2 PdH Village.jpg|thumb|200px|This village is in for a fight.]]
It's best to stick with the others for a while--someone will set up a .30-cal in the east side of town, and you can commandeer that if you want. Shortly after, the house to your right will have its door kicked open and cleared, and you can go upstairs in that house and pick off stray Germans that you see. There's really not much skill that you need to clear this town; just remember to throw a smoke grenade if that MG-42 is bothering you. Clear out the southernmost house, then go through the west entrance.
[[Image: COD2 PdH Orchard.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The orchard can be assaulted first from the farmhouse.]]
Turn left to get into an orchard. Fight your way through this, remembering to never go too far at once (you can get yourself into a position with Germans all around you if you do this). When you reach the other side, cross the road and follow the small path until you see the guns that you're here for. To destroy them with thermite grenades, simply go to the left side of each one and press the Use key at the glowing symbol. Do this to all four guns on your side and get back into the orchard.
[[Image: COD2 PdH Thermite.jpg|thumb|200px|No, no... this is June 6, there's a month left until the 4th of July!]]
[[Image: COD2 PdH Enemies from Field.jpg|thumb|200px|The reinforcements that were too late.]]
This is one of those missions that never seem to end... anyway, you're supposed to clear all the coastal bunkers of the Germans hiding there. Get out of the orchard, and some Germans will come out to the small field on your right. After finishing them off, backtrack all the way to the entrance of the small town. Go straight forward, and you'll see a huge red gate with your mates standing in front of it; you could simply go there and skip the next part without any repercussions, but if you're looking for some extra trouble, do this: see the bunker to the right of the gate, with the three entrances? You can clear this one out. Once inside, you'll have the option to go either right or left; go right first, and clear the small room at the end of that path. Then go left, and you'll find some Germans standing haplessly at the end of the path. When you're done, come back to the gate.
[[Image: COD2 PdH Gate and Bunker.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Hmm... the gate or the bunker?]]
The charges set on it will wait until you join the team. When it blows, immediately grenade the trenches in front of you, and be prepared to dodge theirs. A good position to kill the enemies in the trench is the large crater in front of it.
[[Image: COD2 PdH Bunker 1.jpg|thumb|200px|The first bunker.]]
When they're dead, get into the trench and follow it all the way to the bunker (you'll have to go backwards). Clear it out with a couple of grenades or perhaps a SMG magazine, and turn straight around to head for the next bunker.
[[Image: COD2 PdH Bunker 2.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Aaaand the second bunker...]]
[[Image: COD2 PdH Underground Passage.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Walking in these tunnels with low ammo is not good.]]
[[Image: COD2 PdH Bunker 3.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Smoke is necessary to get past here.]]
There should be about two Germans left in this one, so you'll have an easy time. Now, rather than going by ground to the last bunker, use the underground tunnels starting from the second bunker to get there. Don't get out at the spot where the tunnel has been breached; instead, keep going until you get to a spot where an MG-42 is shooting at you. Trying to get past this spot without a smoke grenade is little more than futile, so perform said action and walk into the bunker at your leisure.
[[Image: COD2 PdH End.jpg|thumb|200px|The glorious... well, somewhat desolate... outdoors.]]
The smoke might obscure your own view, but even then you'll be able to recognize enemies when they run at you to melee attack. This bunker is round, so continue along the path (remembering to kill the machine gunner) to get back outside. Regroup with Sergeant Randall to finish the mission.

Line 116: Line 170:
After that long objective is done, meet up at the crossroads with your squad. Your new orders will be too defend the silo in the courtyard outside the barn. Climb the stairs there and pick up the sniper rifle on the floor at the top of the silo. You will then have to pick off the 2 man artillery crews that'll try attacking you from all directions. This part is hard and there's no real strategy to it but you'll improve with more tries if you remember the patterns of where the next crew is. Target the crews that have been showing on your compass for longer. Also try to reload when there are no stars on the compass. After about 15-20 crews, and a checkpoint halfway through the mission should be completed.
