Multiplayer won't even feature swastikas, and the ability to fully customize your character to the point of having female, black Nazi soldiers means that the online components of this game are much more akin to the historical playground than historical recreation.
The heavier content matter will be largely sequestered to the campaign, however. Don't expect a stirring political treatise, but I'll be interested to see how some of the darker story aspects play against today's political backdrop. Like Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus, Call of Duty: WW2 finds itself unnervingly timely even as a piece of historical fiction: the marchers chanting Nazi slogans and carrying Swastikas in Charlottesville reminded people all over the country that the specter of the Nazi party still haunts modern America in many forms. Most notably we've heard mentions of the Holocaust, something that I don't I've ever seen even mentioned in a major release like this. By all accounts, Call of Duty: WW2 is taking a similarly dark take on a conflict that has more of its share of darkness to work with, even if's been presented through a largely heroic lens for a long time.
