I'm not belittling the Holocaust. I think I already said that. My point, is that war is war. Whatever happened behind the scenes is irrelavent when we're talking about a branch of the military that had little to do with the crimes of the Nazis. We learned of the Holocaust AFTER it happened. Hitler might have been bad but the vast majority of the people fighting for Germany weren't particularly different from anyone else.
And I didn't use 'yadda yadda yadda' to wipe away the reality. I just mean to say that we are fully aware of it. There are about 3 or 4 holocaust documentaries on the History channel a week. I have seen my fair share of emaciated bodies being piled into holes.
I just really get tired of the constant reminder that we should be so grim about the Nazis. I get it, they were bad. They were really bad. We've learned that in 3 seperate grades in High School. But to constantly get that thrown back at us like we should be walking on egg shells everytime we don't unambiguously root for the home team in WW2 discussions is just tiring and unnessesary.
As for indulging in a little fantasy with this game, its a fetish. All fantasies of war are a fetish that somehow makes it so attractive. And again I'll reiterate that the U-bootswaffe was as far from the genocide as you could get, in the middle of the Atlantic.
So lets all just listen to some loud music and sink fake ships.
