Fighting for Axis, even in game, is not 100% ethical.

Every country has it's black pages. But in Birds of Prey gamers (like real soldiers of world war2) are not fighting for Stalin or against some of his opposers. Those days people were fighting for freedom, for survival - against evil. Not all of Germans were Nazis of course. Not even most of them. But all German soldiers were fighting for Nazi.
WOW!!! This is the biggest cop out I ever read about a game design. How come in the original Il-2 game you could fly axis missions?
There were many aspects flying axis planes in history that were nothing to do with "Nazis" or their agenda. The Hungarian Pumas for example, took off against insurmountable odds, bringing 8-12 planes against hundreds daily in late 44, early 45. They didn't fight for the Nazis, they took off to protect their country.
You could probably find many examples that would make great game play without bringing the "Nazis" into it, and still allows players to fly the axis planes in a meaningful experience.
Anyway don't talk too much ethics into a game, you may lock yourself out from a possibility of a profitable DLC axis campaign.
