"Wo ist der Kapitän Schmidt? (Where is the Captain Schmidt?)"

- Kriegsmarine Officer asking of Schmidt

Captain Schmidt was a German officer in the Kriegsmarine, stationed on the Battleship Tirpitz.

Biography
Stationed on the Tirpitz, Schmidt was given a temporary shore leave in Hakoya, Norway as his ship sustained repairs. With a skeleton crew manning the ship, the majority of sailors on shore leave, Schmidt and his driver sailed towards the Tirpitz, but were intercepted by Captain Price, Sergeant Waters and Sergeant Evans and executed. With the SAS Commandos donning Kriegsmarine uniforms, the three impersonated a crew of sailors, telling the inspection party that Schmidt had to go to an emergency meeting with Karl Dönitz.

Trivia

 * Given Schmidt's rank, it can be assumed he was the commanding officer or one of the more high ranking officers on the Tirpitz.
 * It is unknown how Price, Waters and Evans intercepted Schmidt. It is possible that he may have been killed on land with his assistant, but was driven out to the harbor to be disposed of.
