LootHunter: What about "Nazi did nothing wrong"? If you depict german side fighting withoug commiting warcrimes, that's essentially what you communicating.
Yes, I know that it's not what glorify "should realistically mean". But you know how these things are today with "racism" and such. People can find offense anywhere and without any reason. Hearts of Iron IV can easily be accused of Holocaust denial *because* it doesn't mention Holocaust, like at all, despite depicting politics of Germany and other nations in great detail.
hedwards: No more than when we have games that don't depict the allies committing crimes against humanity. We get a bit of a pass because we weren't shoving millions of people into ovens and gas chambers, but that doesn't mean that it was OK to intentionally kill all those civilians in places like Dresden and Tokyo, not to mention the questionable dropping of that second nuclear bomb.
I don't recall hearing people clamoring for games that more accurately depicted the evils on that side of the conflict.
Well, I do. In fact those people are calling all ommissions you've mentioned exactly "glorification" of war and allies participation in it. But, of course, as
paladin181 said, since US and Europe are "good guys" media still trying to glorify your actions, despite clamoring of some people.
Russians, on the other hand, are different matter. We can be easily depicted much worse, than really were. *cough* Company of Heroes 2 *cough*
