Ok, so this was a pain in the a$$ because of that damn challenge named Schadenfreude! and just because it doesn't say how to acquire the "eternal struggle".
Very important note, this is a video guide only for the first challenge for those like me that eventually killed every single living thing on the map and still didn't found the key to the armoury. The key is at the informant in a torture room in the white building on the right side just as you infiltrate the factory. For a more precise location of the informant and the armoury, watch the video below.

The other 4 challenges are:
quick game of squash? - use the submarine so you'll also unlock

The Down Periscope achievement in Sniper Elite 4 worth 26 pointsTarget Führer - Kill Hitler with the submarine

or the torpedo rack for

The STRIKE!! achievement in Sniper Elite 4 worth 61 pointsTarget Führer - Kill Hitler with a torpedo rack

or the big eagle at the ceremony for

The The Eagle Has Landed achievement in Sniper Elite 4 worth 31 pointsTarget Führer - Crush Hitler with the Eagle at the ceremony

bang goes the neighbourhood - the fastest way to get this kind of kill is with the casserole for which you'll also unlock

The Hot Pot achievement in Sniper Elite 4 worth 69 pointsTarget Führer - Kill Hitler with the casserole

heil be seeing you - just stab him. It doesn't matter if your cover is blown after you kill him as long as you're not detected before killing him
crimson tide - you'll complete this while going for the

The Minesweeper achievement in Sniper Elite 4 worth 61 pointsTarget Führer - Blow up Hitler on VIP boat with a sea mine

Very important, for the challenge to count as completed, you have to exfiltrate so is best to make a manual save just before engaging Hittler.
Happy achievement hunting and please state the reason if you give this solution a negative vote

This solution has helped me a lot. However, I do not quite understand what should be done to complete the "Schadenfreude!" Challenge. Can you help me with a detailed explanation?

By OzerovSec3 on 16 Feb 2017 21:14

I apologize for the confusion, read your information and watched the video more calmly. I was able to complete the challenges. Now I only lack achievements of the casserole and to complete all secondary objectives. I just have not figured out how to destroy that submarine base. Can you help me?

By OzerovSec3 on 16 Feb 2017 23:51

There are 2 secondary objectives, one in the white building where the informant is and another one close to where Hittler is holding the ceremony. After doing those, a extraction objective will appear on the map saying "destroy the factory". That's all ;)

By Luku38 on 17 Feb 2017 06:52

So basically just get the supplies left by the informant in the building outside the base, talk to the injured informant and thereafter destroy the two computers marked on the map by the icon of a compass? Do I have to do these two goals without killing Hitler? And after I complete them, is it just running away from the base?

By OzerovSec3 on 17 Feb 2017 10:08

You don't have to talk to the injured spy or even kill Hittler if you wanna do the blow the factory objective. Just get the supplies, sabotage those 2 panels that are marked on the map and extract

By Luku38 on 17 Feb 2017 10:19

Thanks a lot for the help. I had difficulties because in my game the map indicates the two panels to be sabotaged inside the installation. There was no indication or reference that it would be necessary to blow up a building on the outside of the base at the side of the case with the machine gun. Speaking of which, I do not know why on any mission I play, when I access the map during the game I can not consult the mission objectives or even navigate the map. Does this happen like you? Do you have any idea how to solve it?

By OzerovSec3 on 17 Feb 2017 20:00

Don't know. My game works well. I don't have any issues like that

By Luku38 on 17 Feb 2017 20:25

Okay, but once again thank you very much for the help.

By OzerovSec3 on 17 Feb 2017 20:31

You're welcome and good luck with the campaign on authentic difficulty with no manual saves

By Luku38 on 17 Feb 2017 20:35

You actually don't have to exfiltrate when completing one of the challenges, as long as there is a little star medal icon next to the challenge description then the challenge is counted as completed with no need to finish the mission.

By DE4N MUFC on 21 Feb 2017 19:19

I had to redo the kill with the mine and the boat cause it didn't save as completed when I first did the challenge cause I loaded the save right after the achievement popped (for the kill with the mine)

By Luku38 on 21 Feb 2017 20:37

I didnt have to escape for this achievement to pop.
on my two last challenges:
I melee killed, then reloaded checkpoint and used the "eternal struggle". Achievement popped about 5 sec after he died.

By Solobrus22 on 13 Mar 2017 22:05

Thanks for the Eternal Struggle, never would have found that.

I just did all the challenges without completing the mission once so you definitely don't need to complete the mission. Also you can complete "Bang Goes the Neighbourhood" and "Crimson Tide" challenges at the same time as the sea mine is an environmental explosion.

By JayD101 on 23 Mar 2017 07:23

Obviously I did complete the mission once to unlock the challenges but not once while doing the challenges! :)

By JayD101 on 23 Mar 2017 07:24

your video was removed...... :(

By TheAnonymity on 19 Jan 2019 22:14

Really don't know what happened. Cause I checked and I even found videos that were recorded by me, 4 years before I even played Sniper Elite 4. Don't know how this video dissapeared. Will reinstall the game and record it again. Thanks for the heads up

Will notify you when the video was reuploaded

By Luku38 on 20 Jan 2019 10:27

Video's up

By Luku38 on 27 Jan 2019 06:26

This also unlocks Challenge Accepted if you haven’t done it previously. Two birds...

By Poopdog M60Riot on 16 Oct 2019 09:49

Ive done all challenges all with the medal icon beside it ive tried quitting and restarting and restarting my console but still no achievement anyone any ideas to why?

By WEE QUINNER on 07 Jun 2022 22:32

I had the same issue, all done but no achievement. I deleted my saves started it completely new, did the challenges and the achievement pops..

By Judge Homer on 25 Sep 2022 10:39

I think part of the problem is people are trying to do challenges by loading up a save from their first run.
Be aware you need to finish the mission once to unlock challenges. So if you load up an old save from that run the game won’t track as having finished the mission/have challenges unlocked.

Start a new one and on that one you can checkpoint kill and everything as needed.

By Drazer76 on 07 Dec 2022 15:06

Of course. You have to kill Hittler with a specific pistol that you get from the armoury. And to unlock the gate of the armoury, you'll need the key from the spy that is located in the white right building inside the factory. For a precise location of the informant's room and the armoury, follow my video from the beginning of the guide. Hope I've helped you get the challenge done:) if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask

you mentioned in the video that reloading just before you kill him may be glitched. It is not. I just got it that way. I did however always finish the mission after I killed him and then reloaded.

GLITCHED

These aren't optional objectives but challenges tied to the game. 1/2 of them will be stacked but you will have to replay the level at least 3 more times to get the remaining ones done. There are 5 in total with 2 of them not having it's own trophy. The challenges can be found via pressing the

button, however I will list them below. Also note that these challenge can't be done unless you have completed the level first.

Challenge list in order of the in-game menu:

Schadenfreude! - Kill Hitler with "Eternal Struggle" (Pistol) - the gun Admiral Richter had planned to present him (Hitler). The gun itself is in the armoury on a red cushion. As you can tell, I was kinda confused on where it was. The key can be found on the informant. WARNING: There is a rare glitch with this challenge as the game might not give you the option to open the armoury, even though you have the key from the informant. If this happens, then the only potential fix is to delete and reinstall the game. Do note that if this doesn't work, you will have to wait for a patch. Thanks to linetto for pointing this out.
Quick game of Squash? - Crush Hitler with a heavy object.
Bang goes the Neighbourhood - Kill Hitler with an environmental object.
Heil be seeing you - Melee kill Hitler without blowing your cover (the cover starts as soon as you enter the base).
Crimson Tide - Kill Hitler as he's escaping on his boat.

Don't forget to finish the level in order for said objective(s) to be saved otherwise, you will have to do them again.

Note: The first time you play this (or any) mission, you will not complete any challenge even if you’ve fulfilled the requirements (thanks to ReaperReborn from PST.org and DjBatfink for confirming). With each subsequent playthrough, as you complete challenges, they will save so you don’t have to complete them again.

There are five challenges in this DLC:

Quick Game of Squash? - Crush Hitler under a heavy object.
Crimson Tide - Kill Hitler as he’s escaping on his boat.
Heil Be Seeing You - Melee kill Hitler without blowing your cover.
Bang Goes the Neighborhood - Kill Hitler with an environmental explosion.
Schadenfreude! - The only way to complete this challenge is to kill Hitler with the 'Eternal Struggle' pistol without your cover being blown. The pistol is in the armory, and for that you need a key.
- First, you must locate the informant (who left you the supplies at the beginning of the mission). His location is only accessible by dropping down to a window when you’re on the darkened roof of the “office” section of the map (it’s in the same area where you booby-trap the casserole for “Hot Pot”). When you're on that roof, go to the far opposite end and turn the camera so you can see the window (the location is on the other side of the second set of stairs). Drop down and climb into the window and you'll find him. When he dies, search him and you'll get the armory key.
- Once you find the key, a light blue push pin will appear on the map. Exit the window and drop down and in the same “office” section at the opposite end (to the north) on the ground floor is the armory. Once you find it, use the key to open the door and the Eternal Struggle is directly ahead on a pillow. Swap it out for your current pistol.
- Track Hitler around the facility and when you’re close enough, shoot and kill him with the Eternal Struggle. You might want to make a manual save before your encounter in case you blow your cover. If your cover is blown before or while shooting him, you will not complete the challenge.

For a visual reference for ‘Schadenfreude!’, Luku2000 has been kind enough to provide a video which shows exactly what you need to do to obtain the Eternal Struggle. Follow it if you are having any trouble. Note that the Eternal Struggle in the video has a suppressor/silencer. If you’ve picked up suppressed pistol ammo in the mission or have purchased it as part of your loadout and want to use it, just open up your equipment wheel with , rotate to your pistol and press to equip the suppressed ammo.

The achievement will unlock when you have completed the final challenge; you do not need to complete the mission itself unless you want to.

Note: If you have not unlocked “Challenge Accepted” yet from the main game's achievement list, acquiring this achievement will also unlock that one.
