From performing heroic actions to using squad skills, the completionist won’t be lacking in objectives and achievements to hunt down, like picking up all the collectibles.
Three memento collectibles are found in every single level (minus the Epilogue), for a total of 33. These mementos are scattered in some pretty hard to find locations, so its easy to miss a bunch of them if you are just playing through and not actively searching every inch of the maps.
Mission 1: D-Day Mementos
Memento #1
During the Ascend The Bluffs objective while Red is clearing the trenches, you will move underneath a wooden trench bridge and then forward a bit will be a machine gun nest facing towards the beach. The first memento is a Nazi knife sitting near the sandbags at the front of the nest.
Memento 1 - Nazi Knife
Memento #2
Later in the same mission when your objective is to clear the third out of five bunkers in the trenches, there’s a point where you can go forward into the bunker (your team should be standing right outside) or turn left and go down another trench tunnel. Go left and forward, then turn right into a small building that isn’t part of the bunker clearing objective. This compass memento is sitting on a box right inside.

Memento #5
When Red and the platoon are trying to reach the AA gun, there’s a segment where you run across a large field that’s partially on fire and has a bunch of random objects like a wagon and some barrels.

Head forward underneath the big red banners and take out the guard patrolling the upper area.
Go inside the window to your right and head out of the room into the waiting area, where you have to kill another guard. Go down the stairs and towards the room with the truck where you are supposed to plant the explosives. Instead of doing that, pick the lock on the door next to the truck.
