I didn't say both games use the USSR as their main inspiration. Both clearly use Nazi Germany as their main inspiration. It's just that both games also have small injections of Soviet Union influences, with some of the symbols in KZ2, and map+collective nations in VC (along with how Gallia just wants to be an independent nation instead of being swallowed or divided by both of the two Goliath federations/confederates).
The names of the Imperialists. The name Gallia itself. The Blitzkerg (sp?) attack. All of that is clearly WWII (although there is a HUGE lack of airplanes). I'm just saying that there seems to be a little diversity in the sources of inspiration. Hell, Ragnite (sp?) is a reference to the Middle East conflict.

If my memory is correct, I think the glossary said that the war started after an assassination of a Duke or something, just like WWI.
