Ryan (World at War)

"GET IT OFF ME!"

- Ryan

Private Ryan was a US Marine Raider under the command of Sergeant Sullivan during World War II. During a raid on Makin, he was grabbed by a burning Japanese and fought against him in a melee combat. Just like Private Roycewicz in Call of Duty 4, Miller (the player) has the choice to help him or let him burn with the Japanese.

The soldier's name is a reference to Steven Spielberg's movie Saving Private Ryan. Saving him on the Xbox 360 version unlocks an achievement called "Saved Private Ryan", confirming the reference. Saving him on the PS3 version earns you a bronze trophy called "Saving Private Ryan".
