![]() ![]() The swastika is still very taboo throughout the world, but is still especially stigmatized by the Germans and the North Americans. This is interesting because many other countries heavily affected by Nazi influence have the swastika in the game. The use of swastikas was blocked in the United States, Canada, and in Germany. There also weren’t any swastikas on German soldiers’ fatigues. The PPSh-41 is a Russian weapon and was never used by the German forces. One common occurrence is on the Western Front, many German soldiers used the PPSh-41. On campaign, many German soldiers used Russian weapons, which is historically inaccurate. Another inaccuracy of the game is the type of weapons used.

War is over-glorified in campaign mode, which likely one of the reasons the game is enjoyable. The campaign is thoroughly enjoyable and very marketable as well. Therefore, I will focus mostly on the campaign. The historical accuracy of online multiplayer is so limited, a review pointing out all of the flaws would be too long for a blog post.
