WW2 shooter in Wehrmacht perspective?

[Kenny]

Personally, I'm not sure it would work. Although I'm sure you could do plenty of stories that could genuinely put a member of the Wehrmacht, the Hitlerjugend, or even the SS in a sympathetic light, the fact that the Germans lost the war in the end makes it all feel a little futile, because no matter how well the player does, he knows his faction is doomed to defeat from the very beginning. I guess the player could win some victory in the context of the character's world (like defending civilians from rape during the Battle of Berlin, or helping his unit escape the Stalingrad pocket), but ultimately, losing less is not the same as winning, and I figure most gamers hate to lose.
