I know little if anything of the Japanese/American conflict, but I do know about the war in Europe.
The Nazis were a political party / government. We don't play Nazi's in SH3, we play Germans, and young Germans at that. It's important to understand the difference.
WW1 was not really anyone's fault. It was inevitable that as soon as the human race was capable of waging war on a global scale, it would do so.
Now imagine (if you are not German) that your nation had lost WW1 and had "peace" treaties imposed which were so severe that your economy gradually collapsed, leading to mass unemployment, poverty and starvation. Imagine standing in queues every day to get bread to feed your starving children while huge sums of money are paid to France and other nations. Now imagine a new government comes to power (by whatever means) with a charismatic man leading it, and starts setting things "right" and creating jobs and money and food.
Now imagine being a child growing up in all of that.
Yes, the Nazi party were responsible for some terrible things. And yes, ordinary Germans carried out some of those atrocities, but ordinary people do terrible things that terrible leaders tell them to do all over the world. In SH3, I for one don't play the role of a member of the Nazi party.
Not meant as an attack on you monolith
just my opinion on the subject.
