It is amazing how ignorant so many people are.

'What atrocities did the Japanese do?' How about invading the Phillipines and raping every woman they could?

Japanese and Italians were not Nazis, but were Axis powers. Nazi party was dominant political party in Germany. That doesn't mean all Germans were Nazis or even all soldiers were Nazis. Similarly, in Afghanistan, dominant political party was Taliban. Does that mean all the soldiers were instantly Taliban? That's like saying all U.S. soldiers are now Republicans because George W. Bush is a Republican.

BTW, the problem with games like this is not that there is much risk that the players are going to join the Nazi party, but that they very well may develop violent tendencies. I.e. after playing this game for a couple of months, if someone gives you an attitude, gets in your face, tries to steal from you, or in some other way presents a minor threat, will you be more likely to handle it violently? I'll bet you will. And this could be dangerous for you. When a mugger asks for your money, the safest course is to hand it over.
