I never think to much about whose side I play in WW2 games.It is just a game.I would have no problem playing as an axis land soldier,navy troop,tank commander ...nor would I have anything against playing as an american ,english,polish,french,insert-country-here soldier or commander or something.What happened has already happened and we can not change it.The axis forces killed a lot of people,yes,but so did the allies didn't they?I would also not have a problem playing as an axis troop in games like COD (I was kind of dissapointed that you could play an american ,an english and a russian soldier,but the axis side was a no-no).As long as everything you shoot/destroy/bomb is just a bunch of pixels with colour on them ,I don't think it is "wrong" in a way.
On the market,WW2 games are almost all the time separated in 2 groups
1.Games like COD,Castle Wolfenstine ....which include only the allies ->this type probably includes most of the games .And
2.Games that also have axis-involvement,but no "toe-to-toe" games,like someone metioned(the IL-2 series,our beloved SH series,Codename:Panzers and other great games like these ones).
I personally think that it would be very interesting and a completely new experience to play a game as both an allied footsoldier and an axis footsoldier.The ordinary axis soldier had nothing personally to do with Hitler.He just followed his orders.He had nothing with the Jews,or with the westerners.I would personally enjoy a game from this perspective very very much.
