Trivia

During the mission briefings, a woman nicknamed "Berlin Lily" can be heard talking in the background. Obviously named after infamous Tokyo Rose, this half-Japanese and half-German DJ broadcasts propaganda to Japanese troops. According to the official lore, despite being an enemy propaganda asset, she is quite popular among Japanese soldiers in the Europe and Asia.
