pretty sure most of the people actually dying in WW2 were non black if that's any consolation

The source is terrible, I have a hard time trusting articles that can't even properly use the English language, so I have my doubts about its authenticity. Good sources for news actually check articles and correct spelling/grammar mistakes before publishing themselves, just looks amateurish if they don't even do that. If they don't even check their language then there's not much chance they checked their sources and facts before publishing either...

Although if it is true... what's the context? Seems kind of strange to just show a picture of 2 black men hanging and saying that's in a game. If the context justifies it then that shouldn't be an issue. I can't think of a context for black men to be hanging in a WW2 game (would make sense if they were jewish though), but maybe there is one that makes sense.

Website looks dodgy... but anyway....

Well considering Hitlers views of anything but their selected race its no surprise right? or do people not get taught about WW2 any more, it doesn't take a lot of research to find information about persecution. Hanging, who knows about that specifically, but when you have the SS etc willing to gas people, put a group of soldiers together who have been captured and throw grenades at them, or machine gun them down is it really a surprise.

Never noticed that in the game. What mission is it in the campaign? Not a big deal since you kill lots of people In the game.

But considering that you bring up being 10% black and that you refuse to play games that involve killing Christians, shouldn't you refuse to play this game too?

These are NPCs so you're not killing black people yourself.

I find it hilarious that someone would be offended over this - in WWII game, set in Europe, fighting Nazis that killed millions of people cause they thought they were superior "race".

They'd better not watch any documentaries...

This doesn't surprise me, though. People have been getting bent out of shape over everything lately. Some lady got mad because the Hobby Lobby store she visited was selling cotton. Video went viral! This generation, I tell ya! It's like people are looking for a reason to be angry.

The French army had quite some soldiers from their colonies.
