The problem with playing as the germans is that most developers want to pit you against the americans and british during the well known parts of the war. Those however are the parts the germs are losing. Who wants to play a game where your destine to lose? Nobody, so you have to introduce an alternate timeline to which audiances have been "meh" about for some time. Alot think its "sci fi" or just lame. Mostly because developers toss in alot of "futuristic" bullshit for the germans and ruin it.

The key is to switch from the popular timeline and focus on germanys expansion period, there invasion of poland and crushing of france. I mean, no one objects to shooting french people. The campaign could stop when you've gotten control on france and your in that build up period during the battle of britian. After that people may be more willing to play through a historically accurate losing battle as long as objectives and missions are done right.
