Oh, and I think you only had 6 bullets since you couldn't carry more bullets than the gun could hold. Every shot had to count.
The worst was fleeing a room that had too many soldiers in it - their footsteps making a loud click click click" sound - and going back to a room where you had previously killed all the soldiers. Their dead bodies still lay in heaps, and the room was eerily silent.
I'd start to enjoy the silence, and as I began to work up the nerve to re-enter the soldier-filled room an SS would enter the room shouting "Halt! SS!" and I'd just about hit the ceiling.

lol, totally agree! Pretty sure the same game had the craziest hand grenades too, you would through it and it would almost launch across your screen like an RPG of sorts and had a high pitched scream as it traveled.
But ya, that "HALT!!" always scared the poop out of me.
