<The train's headed your way. I would trust y'all to know what to do in this situation but honestly most of you don't seem so bright. Find a way to stop the train at your position right now. No dilly-dallying. If you mess this up I will be somewhat peeved and crash this plane into the rails.>

"I like this tank idea. Perhaps have someone who knows German dress up in one of the uniforms and sit in the hatch to make it look like we're the survivors of some terrible assault, which our injured people will help us simulate, and we need assistance. Everyone else can hide, and then we ambush any soldiers who come out of the train. Why's everyone look at me like that?"

The implication here is that I'm the one who came up with the idea, and I also know German, I'll be the bait. We can't just put up a flaming barricade or blow the tracks, that'll probably cause collateral damage, or at least make them more cautious of a trap, and we need to get the contents of the train back out of enemy territory as well.
Additionally, whilst I'm talking, start looting bodies. Try and grab 3 mags at least of ammo for all my German weapons. If I find something cool, like a scoped weapon or silenced PPK or something, grab that.

Spoiler:  Tobeis ‘With friends like these…’ Parrish (click to show/hide)

Name:Tobeis ‘Toby’ Parrish, 20

Physical and Mental Description: Black hair, tinted purple. Exceptionally blue eyes, white skin, and numerous scratches. Wears glasses (which have as yet managed to survive without breaking) although he can see fairly well within about 50 meters.  Pragmatic in combat, doesn't believe in fighting honorably, and very rarely ever stops moving, except to make a shot or pretend to listen to a superior officer. Has an amazing lack of respect for officers over the rank of 1st Lt. (unless they're serving on the front with him.) Prefers to use his bayonet instead of his pistol for close range, because the bayonet doesn't jam. Would rather hide in the mud than take his chances running for a better hiding place. Assigned to the 888th for assaulting a superior officer ("No, he inadvertently ran into my buttstock just before he could suggest a glorious charge towards a fortified position, clumsy sod"), shooting 3 prisoners whilst on a mission behind enemy lines ("What was I supposed to do, it was a behind-enemy-lines mission, and besides, those SS bastards had it coming to them") and failing to maintain a clean and orderly appearance during an award ceremony ("I guess 3rd strike’s out, whoops, can't be any worse than having to serve under this idiot guess you'll have to transfer me to a different regiment.") Spends most of his time digging, building, or otherwise creating defensive positions to hide in when things inevitably go to shit. Is the type of guy who would tape 6 short-fused frag grenades to the inside of a blast door on the off chance that the enemy manages to open it.

We can still use the barricade. Just try and make it look like a distress signal etc. Remember, we want to CAPTURE this train and bring the prisoners on it to Allied territory, with as few acceptable casualties as possible. And it should be fairly lightly guarded, easy to take if we surprise them.

The barricade would most likely not damage the train overly unless they go bonkers and ram it at full speed, and that would probably at most damage the engine itself. It's not like the barricade is a huge pile of bricks, it's going to be essentially all sorts of brickerbrack lit on fire to signal the train to stop before slamming into it!

[syvarris]

"Guys, we really don't need to stop the train.  We can get up onto the hull of Isabella, have her drive alongside, and then leap onto the train from atop her turret.  Simple, and that carries no risk of the tank derailing and killing hundreds of people."

[The Lupanian]

See if I can grab a Panzerfaust. Not that I know much about tanks, but do either of the Nazi tanks look like they are intact enough to move? If not, are there any other vehicles nearby?

Spoiler: Carolina (click to show/hide)

Name: Carolina Oliveira
Description:
An average sized woman with an athletic build.
She comes from Brazil, where she was secretly trained as a spy. Despite her training, she took up more combat skills than she did stealth and espionage. She was deployed with the Brazilian Navy in the Atlantic for some time before being sent on reconnaissance in Italy, from there she somehow ended up here.
She wears a grey knitted wool cap. It has ear flaps that dangle down several inches, in the style of many South American knitted hats. It is formed to look like it has cat ears, and it has two larger buttons fastened to look like the eyes. When she has her combat helmet on, the cap is worn underneath as a helmet liner.

"Let's see...", Tala thought out loud, "No opposition at the moment, no sign of radio interference or incoming reinforcements of enemy lines, and from scoping the area, no direct sign of incoming reinforcements or possible artillery fire on our position--not that I'd expect that knowing that they've chosen to *heavily guard* the train itself, meaning that they're not averse to using human shields or there are significant compartments which are dedicated solely to defending other cabins."

Tala looked at the other folks to see if they have it handled and decided that--yeah, people have this in the bag.

Get to any/all of the most wounded--apply medic bags to healing their ouches. Prioritize prisoners of war in this barricade unless FOR SOME REASON the people I had initiative to go with--the very same people I arrived with at this barricade, SOMEHOW took extra actions to kill everyone FOR SOME REASON.

Oh also think about the train structure--doesn't the conductor have significant control over the place? (What type of train basically, if it has a deadman's switch, and is the control room open or at least visible from the outside) Is it possible to guard whoever is controlling the train by sniper overwatch while we signal or communicate the order to stop?

"If the train is moving quick enough without anything to stop it, nobody will interfere with the tracks as we need that to convey our rescuees to safety. We can not stop it other than signalling the conductor. Unless everyone wants to offload people in whatever vehicles we can acquisition for use, we will have troubles.

"Any thoughts on how to work with a moving train, that does not involve destroying the tracks or itself, people?"

"As far as I can tell, if we can signal the train early enough, and, again, have some people disguise themselves as enemy soldiers, we should be able to get the train to stop. It's not like it's going to be armoured or anything, and while I'm sure (based off of the warm reception we received here) that there'll be more than the normal amount of troops on this train, it shouldn't be anything too ridiculous, like robotic dogs that can only be killed in melee combat and have maces for tails, or dudes with lightning grenades or ricocheting shotgun bullets, or grenade launchers that shoot rockets, or..." *definitely not just mentioning Nazi gear from Wolfenstein: The New Order or anything*
"Of course, you make a good point about these guys being, after all, Nazis, and therefore perfectly willing to use human shields. Hopefully we can kill them before that becomes an issue. As for keeping an eye on the engineer that's running the damn thing, regardless of whether it's an armoured train or not, it's going to be hard to keep overwatch on the engine compartment at the front, since there'll be the entirety of the actual engine itself in between us and the compartment. I would suggest, if someone is going on overwatch, trying to get up in a tree or something, and be behind where the actual train itself is going to stop."


Since this is a concentration camp transport, historically, the prisoners will be in cattle cars (box cars, for all intents and purposes) packed elbow to elbow, and the guard force will be a bunch of SS with Schmeissers and Kar98s. The train pulling the cars will be a steam engine. Nothing special. The hard part is stopping it, and preventing collateral damage acceptable casualties.

[syvarris]

"Oh come on, guys, this isn't that hard!  If you need to stop the train, blow a hole in the track, and they'll stop 'cause they don't want to die.  Or, hell, someone write up a quick sign saying 'we bombed the track ahead' in German, they won't know the difference!  After it stops, we can board and go in reverse, we're taking it in the other direction anyway.  Failing both of those, seriously, how hard would it be to jump onto a moving train from atop a moving tank?  I could do it, so can you!  Once we're on, we stab and shoot Nazis until it stops, and then we go back.  This isn't difficult!"
