Exclamation Can't find captured commando

In the Colditz castle mission I lost Tread!

I was using him to try and kill the 3 patroling soldiers(patrolling around the church). It didn't seem to work so I hid him behind a building near the church and was doing some exploring with my spy. Next thing I know he was captured and bound up in some building! I've been looking for him, but haven't had much success. Has anybody had this problem before and do you know where I might find him?

Thanx

as far as I know you can't be captured in C2, but you can try to find him by hitting threads hotkey --> 5

Cool! I didn't know that was possible. To locate him do as @am notes, press his hot key and the screen will center on him. Then you have the fun of trying to figure out how to spring him. Hmmm, let's see, send Spooky in disguise to distract his guards or lead them outside around the corner of the hallway while someone else slips in to release him? Or have Tiny flatten himself against the wall by the door and knock on the wall 'til one of the guards comes out, then bonk him and tie him up? Or set up someone with a rifle to take them all out as they run out of the room? So many ways....

Near the left side of the hangar.

AFAIK, I always got shot by them and not captured.

ah ha, now i remember natasha stumbling around in the dark (instead of crawling) by that guy the first time i played the mission and when he recognized her they opened up. didn't try it several times to see if they would capture her but i'm going with @m on this one. i don't think you can be captured and david's been eating underwater beans and isn't thinking straight.

Strange, they always started shooting at her right away in my game, what difficulty are you playing on David?

No, they didn't catch her, but I tried this in other missions where gestapo/patrol leader(s) are in, like mission 9 & 10. In is paris burning I got captured, but there where no other soldiers in the neighberhood, used cheats to test it quickly and putted my men right before the patrol leader and they capturede me. So on the moment I have come to the conclusion that (the patrol) will only capture you when normal soldiers not shoot on you, if they do shoot at you the patrol will join them.

this is only a temporary conclusion untill I've did some more testing
