Interesting discovery while installing BoP UK on German PS3

I do think it must be a little hard to swallow (for the German people that is) that games like Call of Duty, Brothers in Arms etc. are aimed squarely at the German Army. There's a strong sentiment in those games that if you're in the German army, you're a Nazi and so you're fair game, whereas obviously nothing could be further from the truth. I'd actually love to see a Call of Duty with a good Axis campaign, to tell the other side of the story, but I guess that's never going to happen.

I think this is the best post I have ever seen on this board. Could not agree more.

Have to agree, I loved the Luftwaffes "Fighter" campaign from IL2 on the PC. The briefing for the last mission was something along the lines of "This is the end for us..." How poignant.

^^^ (cough, DLC idea, cough)

regarding what ONTHEBORDERLAND said, i couldn't agree more. not everyone was an evil nazi... In fact, if i'm not mistaken, the current pope was drafted into the wermact toward the end of the war.... And it would be interesting in this game to have a campaign mode as the German military during the blitzkrieg during the beginning of the war, since aircraft acting as ground support was a major aspect of that.
