It’s really interesting how Germans are portrayed in both world wars. I think we all take some distance when thinking about WW1 and its both sides, but WW2 is still something considered recent, and still relevant today, so portraying Nazi Germans in the same way it’s done here would be much more controversial.

The Nazis were also pretty unambiguously worse than Imperial Germany, Imperial Germany being pretty standard-level shitheaddery for their time period.
Which is perhaps damnation by faint praise, but still.
