Fairburne, whose sniping has earned him the label Wüstengeist (Desert Ghost) by the Germans, sneaks into the town and finds out that the officers plan to betray Vahlen to Hitler by giving him the general's personal diary in Berlin.

The man, Brauer, shares intelligence about officers meeting at the Siwa Oasis in Western Egypt. The Long Range Desert Group asks for Fairburne's assistance in destroying several Flak 88's in Halfaya Pass.įairburne's only hope of finding Vahlen is by rescuing a British informant inside Fort Rifugio previously held by the British during Operation Compass. He only finds a document revealing the name of Vahlen's project, Project Seuche (literally meaning 'plague'). Fairburne heads to the Gaberoun oasis in Libya to kill several officers and reveal Vahlen's whereabouts. He helped British soldiers repel General Erwin Rommel's forces, but ultimately, the port of Tobruk is lost. He quickly ignited the truck into flames. When a german truck pulled up with a turret in the pick-up Karl aimed his rifle and saved the men from being mowed down. He made quick work of the two German spotters and proceeded down to assassinate the final spotter. Karl finishes putting his rifle together and headed out.

Karl was putting his M1 Garand together when a fellow soldier Tommy came rushing through the battle to tell him sniper's were needed. In June 1942, during the Battle of Gazala, OSS Sniper Karl Fairburne has recently arrived at Tobruk with orders to hold Tobruk against the German army along with 35,000 British soldiers.
