The Gran Sasso raid refers to Operation Eiche (German for 'Oak'), the rescue of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini by German paratroopers...
Drop a C47's worth of troops near an HQ, they run into the HQ, achievement! Yes need at least one side de-acked.

And/Or go solo, with the player being a Chute... as in bail out from any plane, of course the pilot of the C47 also.
As a chute, PING the front door with pistol! (any of the four HQ entrances) Achievement!
Yes this would require some de-acking a bit, the outside edge would be ideal.
Could also call it "Someone's knockin at the door, someone's ringing the bell, why don't you open it up, and let em in?" or "Seal Team 6" or "fighting on the front porch" or "pulling a Rambo" or "I'll be back" or whatever or whateva, its just something to do!
Fly a Storch in, land near the HQ and pick up ole Mussolini, then fly back to base - Achievement! :rock

Achievements celebrating the actions of die hard Nazis and/or fascists don't belong in this game.

There was a time when they practically wouldn't even make a ww2 anything game... politically incorrect to even have a 109 at all...?
Maybe 'extra sensitive' players could go play StarFox instead?

I can see 'neutralizing' the politics though, maybe take any national stuff out of it... (but then we lose the history)...
example for this thread:
Land a c47 let the troops go into an HQ - 'assault achievement'
Shoot the front door of an HQ as a chute - 'ping the front door achievement'
Land any plane in front of the HQ and then take off and eventually go land at friendly base - 'rescue achievement'
