To elaborate, a lot of the WW2 memoirs written by German generals post war play into the political landscape of the time and largely underplay the role of the German army in war crimes. It’s so damn irresponsible to propagate.

Essentially, we need the germans on side, push the narrative that it was all that madman hitler - ie underplay the atrocities of the non SS. Super interesting slice of history to read up on, but it’s sad to see dangerous misconceptions be furthered.

The scary thing about that war is how it pushed normal people to utter depravity. That’s the lesson that we should all learn from it - just how dark we can be. The strange sanitised portrayals really betray what we should learn for history & scapegoat it.

Given Germany's complete ban on Nazi anything in games I'm surprised they used a real name.

its not anymore though, games have been moved into the art category since last year if i remember correctly.

You cannot do a game about WW2 and not show it as it was, Wolfenstein do it and they never offend anyone by it. By not showing the Nazis as they were and instead treating them as just ordinary German soldiers is that not more offensive by making them appear innocent

I'd have many points to complain about, but the lack of Nazi iconography is not, because people are idiots. Like yesterday some in chat were like "Lame pro je-wish $#&! campers everywhere". And you don't want to create that one game showing those symbols together with such lines.
