Letlev

"There is no better training, comrade, than fighting to survive!"

Commissar Letlev was a Russian officer in the Red Army during World War II. Commissar Letlev is seen only in Call of Duty 2.

Training
Commissar Letlev is first seen in the level "Red Army Training" in Call of Duty 2 giving orders. Commissar Letlev introduces the recruits to their weapons and supervises target practice, followed by grenade practice (in which potatoes act as substitutes for grenades, due to supply problems).

The player must then follow him to a nearby building to interrogate a captured German soldier. The prisoner talks about the approaching enemy attack. Letlev sends the player, along with the other trainees, to fight off the enemy attack, executing the prisoner shortly after the player's departure.

He reappears at the end of the level once the soldiers have accomplished their objectives.
