I have to say that I too rather fly a German flag than an American one, even though I'm not torpedoing my brethrens in any of the SH games. I learn the German language and I just feel closer to them becouse of the neighbouring Austria and the close Germany and our closer history.

I have nothing against nor the USA neither the other Allies and both side's soldiers fought bravely. I respect all of the living and fallen soldiers. Some say they were heroes, but I say that all the human beings who fought in such a bloody storm, which raged over the whole world, and changed it dramatically are worth to be respected ,may they be of any nationality. That's why when we are in our WW2 or 1848/49 reenactment team, we salute before all the war monuments, may it be Hungarian, Austrian, German, Russian. They remind us of something, something horrible that shouldn't come back again.

Luckily I have no special bad feelings (sometimes the thought of killing people is just enough of a bad feeling) in this game. There were some strategy games when I had felt being guilty while playing the Russians for example. Both of my grandfathers fought against them and both of the had a tragical life after the war. I just have to mention Siberia's camps and you know what that means.

But indeed this is a game, we should try and not let our feelings get too serious.
