Trivia

 * This is the first time the player encounters enemies in the Call of Duty series.
 * The first enemy to ever be killed in the Call of Duty series is a German soldier next to a tree, urinating.
 * At the start of the level, instead of heading towards the objective (and the german), the player can roam around in the starting field where he/she can find a small pond with flowing water.
 * After killing the soldier by the tree, the player can go into the house to the right and there will be a small flashing red cylinder that says "Coka Kola" and a radio playing.
 * The upper windows of the house near the first soldier can be shot and broken. This is one of the very few areas in the game featuring breakable glass.
 * In Call of Duty:Modern Warfare 2, the title Pathfinder is awarded for sprinting 250 miles with lightweight equipped.
 * The game files reveal a design document showing a possibly different iteration of the level; where the player doesn't have an objective aside from getting to the end, and faces a Flakpanzer. D-Day Drop Design Document CoD1.jpg
