Also, please change your O.P, not all German foot soldiers were Nazis. The Nazis were a political party that didn't even get the majority vote without cheating.
German =/= Nazi.
Not really, were all the British soldiers conservatives then?GrinningManiac said:weeeeelll, they WERE Nazis, but everyone was, it was defaultWrongSprite said:Yes, I greatly admire the Wermacht. And it'd make a change.

But the spirit of the statement is true, yes, many of them were conscripted farmboys who had no idea what was what
Perhapes a game where you play as said naive farmboy, conscripted to fight in the retreat from Normandy through to the defence of Berlin
If you judge someone by what character they play as in a game then you should talk to a psychiatrist.TheLastCylon said:OT: No, I'd rather not be associated with the Nazi Party in any way, shape or form. I don't see why any sane person would.
You make a very good point. But, even if they didn't know what exactly was going on, they were fighting to protect the Nazi's and they were killing enemies of the Nazi's, even if they didn't fully support the reasonsWrongSprite said:Not really, were all the British soldiers conservatives then?GrinningManiac said:weeeeelll, they WERE Nazis, but everyone was, it was defaultWrongSprite said:Yes, I greatly admire the Wermacht.

It's a matter of personal identity and beliefs, I think.
Grinnbarr said:Well yeah - in Company of Heroes the Nazis have all the best units/are the only side I know how to play well. Weird because I'm Jewish by descent but to be honest it's just a game.
EDIT: Also if you play the Panzer elite campaign it gets well heart-wrenching at the end when his brother dies
As long as they leave out explicit references to genocide I'm fine with it.
Uhm i was confused cause the name of this thread is "Would you pay as a nazi"?.irtaco said:So, would you play as a nazi in a game? If a game(FPS, RPG, RTS, etc.) had you in the role of a German footsoldier during WW2, would you still play it?
So, I'm crazy for not wanting to be associated with the Nazi Party and frowning on people for wishing to play as a Nazi, you know, the guys who participated in the mass genocide of about 12 million people.Mumba said:If you judge someone by what character they play as in a game then you should talk to a psychiatrist.TheLastCylon said:OT: No, I'd rather not be associated with the Nazi Party in any way, shape or form.

Considering the fact that most people know the difference between a game and the real life, yes.TheLastCylon said:So, I'm crazy for not wanting to be associated with the Nazi Party and frowning on people for wishing to play as a Nazi, you know, the guys who participated in the mass genocide of about 12 million people.Mumba said:If you judge someone by what character they play as in a game then you should talk to a psychiatrist.TheLastCylon said:OT: No, I'd rather not be associated with the Nazi Party in any way, shape or form.
