In my mind I'm just doing what every soldier from every nation essentially did - protecting my backside and country.
But I do, where possible, play the Australians as there are so few games that cater for the Australian military forces. I do feel very proud when I see that blue and white roundel on my P-40 Kittyhawk when I'm playing IL-2.
But let's face it, those German uniforms look much more spiffy than the British or American ones. And then there's the marching music...

I agree. Most of those who fought did so with honor, therefore there should be no shame in playing any side. I like the the recent title these brave men and woman have been given in the States and I think you'll agree when I say it applies to all who served their country during that dark period. They are "The Greatest Generation".
