There are a total of 13 death cards for players to find. There is one death card hidden on each level, except on vehicle levels.TeamXbox.xom: Call of Duty World at War Death Cards (November 7, 2008)

Previously known as Call of Duty 5, Call of Duty World at War is set during World War II and adopts many similar gameplay aspects and modes from previous games in the serious, with a few additions. The game includes vehicles, and is slightly more open-ended than previous Call of Duty games as there are multiple ways to complete missions and objectives. The game brings back the enormously popular multiplayer modes and perks system from Call of Duty 4 as well.Wikipedia: Call of Duty 5
