Don't forget Japan. Most WW2 games are about killing Germans or Japanese.
Sometimes even Italians.
(Some of those games, like the Medal of Honor series, base their levels
on actual WW2 battles, so they might be more excused from having actual
real nationalities.)

True, Japan, Italy, Germany - someone's gotta be the bad guy, and when
you get into historical reenactment (whether it's IRL or in a computer
game), the opposing forces are kinda necessary.

Sounds like... a very tedious way to spend 4 years. I mean, man, just
repeating the same 20 seconds of game over and over and over until you
manage to sneak past everybody successfully? That doesn't sound like my
idea of fun. :-P

Nah. Usually, there's not more than one or two people there at a time. If
there is, you go a different direction. Or you throw something down the hall
to distract them, then run past. It's a very well balanced game, overall.

BTW, there's a playable demo of one of the levels out there if you search
for it. The graphics are dated, but the gameplay is fine. Once you figure
out how to work the cosh, you're good.

Oh good. I get to drive a tank.
Unfortunately, a tank is impossible to manouver, and fires one shot per
hour. I've just spent 20 minutes screaming "SHOOT!!" at the screen. :-/
Time for bed...

It's not that difficult. It's actually fun.

Btw, that's one curious problem about 3D games, compared to 2D games:
Graphics of 2D games are like paintings: They never get "dated".
A 2D game which had beautiful graphics 15 years ago will still look
beautiful by modern gaming standards.
The same cannot be said of 3D games, where less than 10 years is enough
to make once-beautiful graphics look ugly.

The same arguments there could be made for WWII-era reenactment games.
And similarly, Germany, for example, does have restrictions on some of
those games being distributed in Germany, particularly if they depcit
Nazi symbols.
