when i said ''german people'' i didnt mean Nazis. Not all germans were nazis back than. I keep saying this . In the game, they dont call the enemies ''the nazis'' they call them germans. There were lot of french nazis in Paris back in 1942 too. But i guess, if someone is a nazi, he/she has to be german too

OK, history lesson time.  In WWII, the Nazis ran Germany.  They invaded France.  In general, the French people did not like this.  Because the Nazis ran Germany, the French people, and many other people associated all Germans with their Nazi invaders much akin to how all muslims might be identified as terrorists in today's world.  Granted, you can't say all German soldiers were Nazis or identified with the party, but that is fairly insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

Therefore, you mean Nazis, regardless of what term video game characters choose to use.  I'm quite confident that the video game devs were not "hating" on Germans when they made the game.

If you really can't grasp the difference in video game context, perhaps M rated games are not for you.

so why do they always use the word ''german'' instead of nazi?

Like I just said, the same reason people use "muslims" to describe terrorists.  They were Germans, sure, but to classify all Germans as the people they hated was the same type of hyperbole.

And thats the problem. I am not German but i know that a lot german people will ge insulted when they play that game
