The makers say creating a title based on a conflict that claimed about 60 million lives has been a challenge.
It's been 10 years since the Call of Duty franchise based a game during World War Two.

So unambiguously evil, yet we have so-called anti-fascists marching openly with hammer and cycle icons and paraphernalia. What's the joke? "Communism, always one murder away from utopia."
It's difficult to understand the mental gymnastics required by a gaggle of red-faced children screaming, spraying people with spittle over hatred of Nazis while wearing a hammer and cycle t-shirt. Someone with time on their hands might actually crack a history book and see why that is.
