Oh man; even better! That ties into the whole Nazi "Hollow Earth" Mythology floating around!
What if you have to do a multi-level mission descending deeper into the caverns of the hollow earth for the final mission?
Also from the wiki on Hollow Earth:
George Papashvily in his Anything Can Happen (1940) claimed the discovery in the Caucasus mountains of a cavern containing human skeletons "with heads as big as bushel baskets" and an ancient tunnel leading to the centre of the earth. One man entered the tunnel and never returned.
