Nazi spy.

Simple.
All allies feared a nazi spy. Soviets even killed hundreds of thousands! citizens to find those spies.:/
Binoculars ability, camo, booby trap divert supplies(while not in camo) and plant demolition charges(long cooldown).
And a luger to "defend" himself.
Less HP than a sniper.
Cant cap points.
If someone feels offended this spy can be a non nazi german.
Its in ma ostheer army concept.

Some posts say is should be a combat unit(More than 1 men). Sounds good but I like the sneaky spy concept better.
Its up to the Developers.

Why not? Sounds like a weaker sniper.
Divert supplies, though? If anything, soviets did it to the
germans :)

And if there was such a thing, he'd probably be giving as
much info to the russians (Nazi spy showing all German
territory to the soviets, while showing only his own vision
to the germans) ;)

No.

Germans feared allies spies more.
Also very few people liked and helped germans for simple reason because they was invading force.

SS killed allot of people for finding partisans.
Entire villages was burned sometimes.
With this things cannot be attain sympathy from the population.
Also when such "events" happen frequently,very few strangers get help,and  german spies was very difficult task for getting trust/support from local population in attempt to find any valuable informations.

I cant believe no one has remembered the 'Brandenburg commandos'. Basically they were special trained units, fluent in other countries language, customs, uniforms, and military structure, and they were used to infiltrate and-or seize/disable vital enemy positions, such as bridges , comm centers , and the like. They could work like the PE fallschirmjagers, infiltrate out of a building, wearing enemy uniforms and weapons,  have cloak ability and of course demolitions and 'misdirecting traffic-supplies' ability, or something similar to it.

Thats why his a spy, not a partisant squad.
You cant call him out of unoccupied buildings. You cant cap. He needs to walk thru the battlefield undetected like a sniper.
Germans used these kind of spies (in US uniforms) at the Ardenes offensive (diverting supplies ability).

Oh, hey. I remember the 'Bradenburg' commandos ;)
I sure do!!! Amazing troops, lol. THEY did amazing work
in belgium, preventing the popping of the dams for flooding,
and so on. Nice work in Soviet, as well. Even staged commando
raids on german facilities (for practice). Completely irregular
unit. They had pictures of their 'soviet' girlfriends and had
vast background and everything!

There's one weird fight, where there was this Panzer
column, and they had a captured T34 leading it. They
encountered a genuine T34 column who just waved them
through !! (But doubled back and chased them afterwards)
lol!

A lot of snafu in there :)

I got ample documentations on this if interested :)

loup you ok? you go on about random crap a lot

:p It's not random.

I like that idea A LOT.
finally something new. A new one man show, not just another sniper.

I will take a spy in my upcoming cocept if ur ok about that ;)

Yes! And the spy could also get an anti-sniper/sharpshooter ability. He can sneak up to the sniper and shoot him at point blank.

Certain people are definitely on the same wavelength as us.

Nice idea. However, real spies are not some commandos and they never acted on the battlefield. Their job was to collect intel and if possible to infiltrate and blend with the enemy. Some spies were even "working" for the enemy in order to get to higher positions in their hierarchy - of course with the idea to be able to collect more intel.

My suggestion is to make him a call in unit which can feed you information about enemy's building and unit production, similar to the British. You can also make him really hard to detect (if it is possible) in order to infiltrate the enemy' base and plant some explosives or just make him spawn in the enemy's base/building or any building on the map.

Another option is to act opposite to Wehr officer's supervision - to delay enemy production process (again if it is possible).

Another idea is to have ability similar to propaganda - like he has supplied false info and ordering a unit to return to their base.

Of course, it can be made to detect snipers easier than motorcycle/jeep as a passive ability.

Maybe its possible for him to infiltrate the buildings of the allies to delay unit creation and stuff like that. Slower upgrades, global cooldowns take longer if you infiltrate into a HQ etc. He would have a 50 %(or lower/higher) succesion rate so not all attempts would succeed. I don't know if this is possible though.

This sounds exactly like the spy from red alert 2/3 and the sabotour from C&C Generals Zero Hour. Temp shut down of production facilities.
