...verging on being a tad contraversial, but here goes anyway...
lets strip away these 3 leaders various qualities as leaders and focus on the human atrocities each of these men commited.
Stalin - killed many of his own people
Mao - killed many of his own people
Hitler - killed many Jews
(this is obviously simplified, so dont nitpick)
now, what makes it OK for Mao and Stalin to be in the game (i assume Stalin will be in the expansion based on screenies) but not Hitler. Because Hitler killed people who weren't of his ethnicity? What makes this worse that what Stalin or Mao did? And by the way, Stalin and Mao condemned far more people to Death that Hitler did. Stalin's 5 year plans cause tens of millions of deaths. Mao Cultural Revolution and Great Leap Forward caused unprecendented mass starvation, also in the tens of millions.
So, based on the criterion that Firaxis has presented us, I think Hitler is a worthy candidate to be included in the game. To me a human atrocity is a human atrocity whether its against your own people or against your neighbour and neither is "OK".
So, if Stalin and Mao are included, then Hitler should be aswell.
what does everyone think to my reasoning? logical thinking or am i being silly?
