Is there a way to save the communist deserter from execution?
Solution 1:
There are two executions on frontline:
The first one is the deserter, where executioners can both be melee incapacitated before they can shoot.
The second is the first thing you see taking the “stealth” root under the front line with a Nazi preparing to shoot three reds, his back is turned - just punch him. Afterwards The liberated red squad leader will mistake you for a ranger and wish you good luck earning the “Rescue Ranger” achievement
