Lies. Exposing Soviet soldiers as cowards who do not want to fight for their land, relatives and families. Only order 227. And trying to prove his lie, Relic cites two false quotes from real people: General Chuikov and Marshal Malinovsky. What is the criminal offense "Defamation". But it's "Soviet" that's the whole point of the game to equate them with the Nazis. If there was such defamation in the Canadian studio about US generals, Relic would have been sued for millions of dollars long ago. But who cares? Right?
I'm the first person to say that Patton was a Nazi-sympathizing asshole, that Halsey was a terrible admiral with an ego problem, that Rommel spent most of the war up Hitler's ass, and all sorts of other things about historically-revered military commanders. I don't think the idea with Company of Heroes 2's campaign was necessarily to equate them with the Nazis, it was to show that the Soviets were their own brand of terrible, and note that it's not the individual soldiers who are being denigrated - it's the command structure, which is a perfectly valid story to tell, in my opinion.
So save the whataboutism, please, because of the nations you're mentioning, Russia is so far the only one (with the possible exception of Japan) that still officially insists on a glorified and sanitized narrative that conveniently glosses over things like penal battalions made to march into minefields, the Warsaw Uprising, Katyn, blocking detachments (still going strong in 2023!), and all sorts of other horrors.
