The Switzerland Diversion

## Introductions

Welcome to neutral territory, soldiers! It seems like Bern, Switzerland isn't actually that neutral, as the Nazi Party is keeping a sizable chunk of their war chest in a bank downtown. The city has been ceded to the Nazis, so expect patrols from Nazis and sympathetic locals. You'll be smuggled into the city by car, and will meet up with your OSS contact, [OSS NAME], who will fill you into the situation.

Locked up in the Bachmann & Co. Bank is almost $1,548,950,351.44 in German Reichsmarks dedicated to the Nazi War Machine. As much as [OSS NAME] would like some extra retirement money, you've been tasked with disposing of this fund through whatever means possible.

## Breaking Into The War Chest

While you can go about the robbery however you see fit, there are some prerequisites that you might need to worry about before the big show.

The town, while under military control, only has a medium military presence right now. Any overt firefights, explosions, declarations of violence will bring in more soldiers, patrols, etc. along with the likeliness that you get recognized and targeted by the occupying army.

First of all, it'll benefit your plan to grab a layout of the town and the bank. Both of these can be found in the mayor's office, specifically in the town planner's office. The building will be patrolled by Nazis and police officers, but can be avoided or dealt with. You can attempt to map out the city and the building on your own, walking through the town and making a map yourself, but this will only be as reliable as your mapping ability.

It may also behoove you to grab some new weapons or upgrade the one you have on your person, you'll be facing an entire town worth of Nazis. of course. Your most obvious option is the garrison downtown, as they have a fairly well stocked armory you can pilfer if need be. More enterprising soldiers might be able to pick up on the fact that there's a smuggler operating out of the city, offering +1 weapons and many manner of pertinent items. Scope out their runners or pick up on chatter around town and you might be able to find the apartment they're operating out of.

### Loud & Dumb

#### Straight Through the Front Door - Exactly as it says on the tin

Sometimes the best solutions are the simplest. In this situation, the simplest option is making your way through the front door and walking straight into the vault.

The first thing you're going to have to plan around is getting into the bank itself. Of course, you could just walk in the front door and work it out from there, but some alternative entrance methods might provide some different benefits or status effects on your little heist. Walking straight into the door will open yourself up to attacks from the bank guards, but you'll also minimize the chance that the city guard will be quick to respond. Driving a vehicle through the front wall will provide you some protection and disorient some of the guards in the bank, but you'll be drawing attention to yourself along with possibly putting yourself in a bad spot if your entry is a little too explosive. Blowing a hole in the wall may eliminate some of the guards, but you run the risk of parts of the building coming down on top of you. There's no one right way to get inside, but make sure to weigh your options.
