How did he know?

When Tura went to the (Wehrmacht?) headquarters disguised as Siletsky, how did he know which room he had to go to?

Probably because the guys at the entrance keep announcing where everyone is going. Even if not, we can imagine that he asked to be reminded in a scene not shown because who cares?

"I'll book you. I'll book you on something. I'll find something in the book to book you on."

Apparently I care! :-)
Wouldn't asking raise suspicion? I guess in a military headquarters during wartime everybody is on the "qui-vive" and every visitor is watched closely. And a regular visitor is supposed to know his room, IMO.

The real plot hole is why Erhardt thought leaving Tura alone for several
minutes in a room which contained a straight razor was a good idea. Many real-life detainees of the Gestapo took the quick way out to avoid a more protracted
death and the risk of giving away vital information. Schultz should have been
his superior since he was more on the ball.
