Campaigns as Axis?

hitler was evil but the german people gave him a chance because the economy was so bad i mean before hitler 1 loaf of bread cost a wheelbarrow of money so every1 saw him as a way out not because every1 was sick and wanted to kill jews
(btw i dont support hitler i support a democracy and people's wellbeing)

throughout history, every nation has committed crimes against humanity - no exceptions. its not just nazi germany that is guilty.

think of north and south america before the europeans arrived, but thats ok becuase the native people wrent god fearing christians, to the extent that it was ok to be a native just as long as you stayed put on your little "reserve" as a museum exhibit for all the "developed" people to point and stare at.

slavery was rife under the British Empire - and how did Britain acquire their empire? it wasnt by asking for it nicely - and anyone who opposed was villified by historians in the name of patriotism. how is that any different from nazi germany? or stalinist russia?

noone on this forum is condoning or supporting the atrocities of the second world war, but just dont think it was only the axis forces that were reponsible for "evil" deeds.

anyway i feel this topic has gone way to deep for a forum about a flight sim. as an aircraft enthusiast, its a shame not more examples of axis machinery survive, particularly airworthy ones. i would love to see fw-190's and bf110's flying alongside mustangs, spitfires etc they were machines built for a purpose, regardless of political alignment.

yeh the english comited tons of war crimes (im english ) and yes id love to see japanese aircraft on desplay in museums (there is a museum somewhere in the us that shows the last serviving J7W Shinden prototype which is 1 of my favourite aircraft) and german aircraft
btw i have a german friend on psn and he isnt some nazi suporter or anything no sane person is.

I think there's something inherently quite respectful about a game like this which places some emphasis on realism. Sturmovik should cause no offence to any sane person were it to allow players to fight on either side.
