Adolf Hitler (20, April 1889 – 30, April 1945) was an Austrian-born German politician and the leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party (German: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, abbreviated NSDAP), commonly known as the Nazi Party. He was Chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945 and, after 1934, also head of state as Führer and Reichskanzler, ruling the country as an absolute dictator.
The Resistance receives Intel that pinpoints to Hitler visiting Tobruk. Karl infiltrates the city in order to confirm Hitler's presence. However the intel dynamically changes, and it indicates that it may be a body double. Karl makes his way to a vantage point to observe the meeting, in an attempt to determine if it is truly Hitler.
Outcomes[]
Karl may come to the conclusion that the intel he gathered and his observations prove that it truly is Hitler, and take the shot, assassinating him before escaping.
Karl will comment that the intel suggests that it was Hitler, though history might disagree.
Karl may come to the conclusion that it is not the real Hitler, as the intel he gathered and his observations indicates that it is a double. Karl may decide to leave.
Karl will comment that the intel suggests that it wasn't Hitler, though history may disagree.

Karl is sent to the island of Sendari, north of Crete, to assassinate Admiral Herman Richter, the commander of the island's hidden U-Boat base. When he finds Richter, however, he instead finds him dead, with a warning note from none other than Hitler himself. It's then confirmed not long after when a speaker at the base announces that Hitler was at the base. After successfully killing Hitler, Fairburne wonders whether he killed the real Hitler, or if he killed another one of his doubles.

Karl was informed that Hitler is on vacation at his mountain retreat, the Berghof, in the Bavarian alps of Obersalzberg, Germany. Karl immediately travels to and sneaks into the Berghof to kill the Führer in hopes of receiving an early surrender from the Nazis and bringing an end to WWII by Christmas. After he took down Hitler, the Resistance were informed that the Nazis have been reported of the incident and emergency medics were immediately called to help the Führer. The Resistance will continue to find out in the coming weeks if Hitler is really killed or that it is once again another one of his doubles.

War's End: 1945[]
Hitler appeared in Sniper Elite V2, in the Assassinate the Führer DLC. He also appeared in Sniper Elite VR: Winter Warrior in the final mission Führer's End.
Führer's End[]
On February 28, 1945, an unnamed soldier of the Italian Resistance travels to Bastione Ravenna castle on a mission to assassinate Adolf Hitler and finally bring an end to WWII. However, the soldier had heard from stories of Hitler's body-doubles, but he nevertheless believed that he eliminate the target with one shot and that person has to be Hitler. After reaching a tower of the castle, the soldier waited for Hitler's arrival. When the Führer did arrive, it was noticed that there are three more Hitlers, confirming the existence of his body-doubles. Though the soldier doesn't know on which one is the real Hitler, he used intel that he remembered as a guide. According to the intel, Hitler is diagnosed with a chest infection, which he had gotten during his final expedition to Russia. Upon noticing a Hitler coughing, the soldier instantly figured out that it is the real Adolf Hitler and immediately assassinate him. With his mission complete, the soldier escapes from the castle to safety.
Assassinate the Führer[]

Alternate Timeline[]
Hitler with his Zombie Army.
Near the end of the Second World War in 1945, Germany is facing defeat at the hands of the Allies. Unwilling to allow Germany to fall. Hitler takes a final desperate gamble. He uses the Sagarmatha relic to unleash occult forces to raise the dead, as zombies, making him the Vanguard of the Apocalypse.
This comes at a price however, as without all three pieces of the relic, Hitler was not protected from the undead hordes, and he was killed in the process. As a result he became a zombified version of himself, now able to control the Zombies with renewed confidence. Hitler once again intends on conquering the world. He addresses the zombies, in the ruins of a destroyed Berlin, unphased by the attack.
Several members of the Survivor Brigade travel to Hitler's location, and find him addressing the Zombies at a podium. Karl Fairburne sees the opportunity to finish Hitler once and for all, and takes a shot. The bullet is stopped by some psychic influence, showing a degree of his new power. Drawn to the sound of the bullet the Zombies turn to attack the group. But the Sagarmatha Relic is used to force Hitler to stand down. Begrudgingly, Hitler allows the group to leave unharmed.

Hitler moves to the Hellmouth to begin the final preparations to his attack, however the Survivor Brigade return, with the now-complete Sagarmatha Relic. After sending countless zombies after them, none of which killed them, Hitler resorts to finishing them himself, and allows them to get to the Hellmouth, the entrance to Hell. Having summoned a giant demonic version of himself, he summons even more zombies to kill them, however he is eventually defeated, and is grabbed by his giant self before it petrified. Hitler is then thrown into the Hellmouth by the Survivor Brigade, which was then sealed off with the Sagarmatha Relic. However, it proved to be ineffective towards the dead as many still continue to roam around.
Dead War[]
Much later in 1946, it was discovered that Hitler was banished to Hell rather than being destroyed. During his time in forced exile, and with the help of the Hell-Cult, he began to use the realm's energy to establish a new army as well as mass-produce various hell-powered machines. In his personal realm of Thule, he waited in the throne room of his lair as his powers were being restored by the Hell-Cult via a cult ritual. He was later remade by a group of Commanders in Rome via the Agartha Relic, a powerful artifact, just as the new Survivor Brigade squad, including Karl Fairburne, arrived. After the shield that surround Hitler was destroyed, he was shot down, supposedly killed. Unfortunately, however, since his powers were fully restored, Hitler recovered and unleashed a powerful force that sends the Survivor Brigade Squad to Hell.

Later, when Hitler arrived at the Vatican on his Hell Machine, a battle ensued between him and the squad, who managed to escape from Hell with the help of Dr. Efram Schweiger, one of the original members of the squad. After a long battle, the Hell Machine was destroyed, but Hitler managed to survive. With no other options left, he resorted to using his powers to create multiple zombie duplicates of himself in an attempt to kill the Survivor Brigade squad. After all of the duplicates were killed, Hitler was left weakened. Knowing that he is going to be killed, he begged for mercy to no avail. After his powers now proved useless against the squad, due to them being in the possession of the Agartha Relic, Hitler was then beaten with said relic, which was then plunged into his heart. This caused his body to get destroyed in the process, leaving only his bones and his intestines. With the Führer's ultimate death, it brought forth the beginning of the end of the Dead War, following the closure of the Hellmouth back in 1945. However, even though Hitler is gone for good, the Hell-Cult remained active.
Hitler is believed to have had only a single testicle. Shooting him in Sniper Elite V2 or Sniper Elite 3 will reveal him to have two, though he will only have one in Sniper Elite 4. This is a nod of the mocking song "Hitler only has one ball" sang by the British troops during WW2.
In Assassinate the Führer DLC's mission briefing, it is said that the intel for Hitler's movement was found during Karl's mission in Berlin, meaning that it takes place after the main campaign of Sniper Elite V2. However this would mean either it's a double for Hitler, as he would have already been dead by that point, or his suicide didn't take place.
In Sniper Elite 3: Afrika, Hitler is wearing a made-up Afrika Korps armband instead of the Swastika armband. This is probably to avoid censorship in countries like Germany.
