Campaigns as Axis?

In my mind there is not much difference between persecuting people because they belong to one specific ethnic group and persecuting people because they have a different ethnic origin to your own.

Russian troops regularly executed captured enemies, including many German pilots, and killed 25,000 Polish officers(2) on Stalin's orders. Around 12-15%(580,000(3) out of around 4 million) of all prisoners of war taken by the Soviets died in the Gulags (penal labour camps).

Advancing Russian troops looted and pillaged the land of the Axis nations they took, and raped tens if not hundreds of thousands of women.(4)

I am not saying what the Russian did during WWII was unprovoked, or necessarily much worse than what the Germans did, but no one had clean hands during WWII and the Germans tend to get isolated as if what they did was greatly worse than everyone else's behaviour.

(1)Kenneth Christie(2002)85,000 ethnic Lithuanians, Latvians and Estonians deported between 1940-41, of which 55,000 killed or died.
(2)CIA report on "Katryn Controversy". On 5th March 1940, Stalin signed their death warrant--an NKVD order condemning 21,857 to "the supreme penalty: shooting".
(3)Richard Overy: Russia's War(1997) regarding POWs during WWII "official figures show ca. 580,000 deaths"
(4) I withdraw this statement, I cannot find references of sufficient quality to back this up.

I will be adding more references, but finding the figures takes time and I want to save what I have written down in case something happens to my computer.

Why bother?


There is no Nazi campaign in this game, and there never will be. Regardless of whatever articles, facts, opinions, whatever... That has been answered and this ridiculous thread should be locked and left to die.

Trying to soften the evil of what the Nazis did by showing the evils of others is just plain stupid. What is your goal? Pointing your finger and the developer of this game saying your people were more evil than the Nazis so you should include a Nazi campaign?

Holy WTF? Get over it.

The men who fought in that war may not have been Nazis. The men who ordered this war were for sure.

And thanks for your civilized style of conversation. Thanks god I know better than to lower to this level.

Also...

Guiltyspark, the quote you are replying to has nothing to do with the original poster, and you can substitute the word Nazi in my post with the word German, and it doesn't change it one bit.

This has nothing to do with getting a German campaign added to Birds of Prey. The discussion may have started out that way but this is a different subject altogether.

Oh, yeah.
Especially this CIA is imperssive.
Once again - stop talking about things you don't understand - or provide links to DOCUMENTS. They are open now, so everyone can take a look.

Only last one is about PoW, right?
Once again, living in USSR during WW2 was very hard. Soviet people were starving and died. A lot of them. Because there was no food. Living as PoW was not easy - but it was not as hard as living in a, let's say, Leningrad.
How do you expect all of them could survive? Some of them were wounded. There were diseases. They were living in a bad conditions - as well as all soldiers and a lot of citizens.

But they were fed more than, some of Soldiers soldiers on a Frontlines!
And some of German soldiers WERE executed. After trial, and IF they guilty in killing citizens - not just because they were Germans.

I am writing a letter to moderator.
Bye.
