Q how could you sink to that level
I assume you mean for assassinations? Those are not affected by anything except how many violent missions have recently been run on your target, and whether or not they're currently in the hospital. It's unusual for someone to die from full health due to an assassination, but it has a good chance of putting them in a coma and taking them out of the game for a day or two, and the stress it causes will be a major issue unless they're a frequent druggie.
Postponing the invasion for 60 hours [how long i stopped it for] would have meant that the allies would be pushed back into the sea. Axis troops would have arrived and the gunner would get the iron cross first class.
VIP assassinations have no special conditions like a normal assassination, as they target an NPC. Success = death of the target.
