Sorry "depict historical accuracy". Seriously? It is a game, it doesn't depict anything accurately.

I don't find offensive, but I can that people would; I don't think a WW2 game is particularly amusing for the people who fought in the war and saw their friends die.

Really? Would you think that those people would also be offended by mentioning the war[1], making fun of "Mr. Hilter"[2] or the idea of Kamikaze Scotsmen[3]?

Also, it is a fact that most games only let you play as one faction that usually have some very bad luck[4][5][6], be them real or not.
