While a good amount of people during the period were a part of the nazi party , it didnt mean they were fighting for hitler , or his ideals.

At the time in history the german people were recovering from a completely humiliating defeat in ww1 , which as a result of the treaty of versille it completely disarmed germany as a nation militarily.

Hitler was a voice of hope for germany , a beacon of light in a dark tunnel. Much like the american people looked toward obama in the recent election (not saying that obama is a nazi)

People were nazis back then because it was the "thing" to do , It was the most effective way to show your patriotism to germany (not hitler)

Now the SS , thats a different story , those guys were sworn to hitler. those were the sick fucks that you imagine when you hear the word nazi.

But again , not ALL of them were completely brainwashed sicko's , alot of them just wanted to show the most support for germany as possible by signing up for the prestigous honor of being hitlers SS.

Back to the point


There is no reason why games cannot feature a story of the german soldier or pilot . Because a vast majority of them were fighting for their rights as a nation like anyone else
Nicely put...
