* HidingInPlainSight: One clever way to play Invasion Mode is just dressed up as regular German soldier. Even though there's no camouflage to help you hide, by moving amidst the [=NPC=] enemies your American target often struggles to tell the sheep from the goat and combined with their paranoia and false expectations about an Invader relying on stealth rather than subterfuge, it can sometimes give you the edge you need.

* OhCrap:
** Möller has one after almost every campaign mission, growing more intense with each setback Operation Kraken suffers. [[spoiler:This culminates in his final VillainousBreakdown, where he blames everyone but himself and proceeds to flee into hiding, knowing full well Hitler will see him die screaming for his failure]].
** Many of the ways to kill Hitler involve a momentary one on his part, just before he dies. "Compliments of the Chef" and "Mind Expanding" are the two most egregious: [[spoiler:the first has Hitler stare in slack-jawed shock at the bomb attached to his food before it blows him up, while the second shows him doing the same with a hollowed-out book containing C4]].



* {{Tontine}}: One of the enemies you can scan brings up the message "Daniel Redler: Has a tontine running with friends from school. Is quite confident he'll win it."

** Paratroopers from the all-Black [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/555th_Parachute_Infantry_Battalion_(United_States) 555th Parachute Infantry Battalion “Triple Nickels”]] are playable in multiplayer. The 555th existed, but never served in Europe: they served as ‘’smokejumpers’’ in Oregon, and the closest they came to seeing combat in WWII was extinguishing forest fires started by Japanese balloon bombs.

** The very first mission "Atlantic Wall" has Karl quip [[Film/DieHard "Happy trails, Hans,"]] after dropping a German soldier off of a cliff during a stealth takedown.

That is not a trope, so it shouldn't be listed. Made this same mistake myself years ago.


* UsefulNotes/KatanasOfTheRisingSun: The Imperial Japanese Navy serve as a secondary enemy faction in game, supporting Operation Kraken. Commander Shinji Yoshikawa represents them as one of the eight names on Karl's kill list.

''Sniper Elite 5'' is the latest game in the ''Sniper Elite'' series, serving as a direct sequel to ''VideoGame/SniperElite4''. First hinted at during the ending and subsequent SequelHook in ''Sniper Elite 4's'' "Deathstorm" DownloadableContent campaign, this game sees Karl Fairburne operating in Northern France just prior to the D-Day landings in Normandy. Here, he's tasked with killing high-ranking German officers related to an Operation codenamed ''Kraken'', which is related to the V2 rocket program later seen in ''Videogame/SniperEliteV2''.

* StraightForTheCommander: In the reveal trailer, Karl mentions being tasked with killing several high-ranking German officers, all of them said to be involved with one Operation ''Kraken''. In-game, this is reflected in the "Kill List" objectives, where many of the targets that Karl has to kill are high-ranking officers part of, or have some involvement in, Operation ''Kraken''.

** Another downplayed example. The Tiger II Heavy Tank is depicted as being in combat in France as early as June 1944. In reality, its comabt debut on the Western Front would be in early July 1944. Then again, it is mentioned several times that the tanks themselves are currently undergoing testing and evaluation by frontline units converting from the Tiger I, with several German engineers requesting that the tank be sent to the frontlines as soon as possible in order to pit them against Allied tanks.
* ArtisticLicenceShips: During intro cutscene of the mission "Liberation", the transport planes and gliders are shown flying over dozens of ''Nelson''-class battleships, easily identifiable by their distinct three turrets forward of the aft placed superstructure. The British only ever constructed two ''Nelson''-class ships, the ''Nelson'' herself and the ''Rodney''.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The game ends with Möller's assistant Vogel still on the loose, and Möller saying he's on his own to possibly face the wrath of Hitler. [[spoiler: The ''Kraken Awakes'' DLC clears up this loose end; after learning he is attempting to finish Project Kraken, Karl tracks him down and kills him.]]

* StupidJetpackHitler: The reveal trailer shows an entire line of V2 rockets being lined up and later readied for launch. [[spoiler:It's revealed that they're to be loaded aboard modified Japanese I-400 class submarines, and then launched at Washington D.C., New York, and Boston.]]

V2 rockets being lined up rocket ([[spoiler:namely, getting it to launch from seaborne platforms like submarines, and later readied for launch. getting the rocket's already-impressive range doubled]]).

** "Festung Guernsey" shows that the Kriegsmarine is conducting further research on U-boats, specifically by making them practically invisible to Allied sonar and radar through the use of specialized "stealth" plating.
