The Second World War is the largest armed conflict in human history, the largest and the bloodiest. 62 states took part in it, and the fighting took place in Europe, Asia, Africa, as well as in the waters of all existing oceans.
Games about the Second World War usually show the events of this armed conflict from the perspective of one of the sides: gamers can take control of an entire army or a single fighter who breaks through crowds of enemy soldiers or shoots from cover, being a sniper.
But not all games about the Second World War are reliable: some titles, like Wolfenstein, present one of the sides of the conflict in a very unusual way, showing the player unique technologies, armies of zombies, or even enemy commanders entering into a contract with dark forces.
