There’s an inherent tension in game development. Especially ones as politically loaded (and, sadly, too relevant again in 2023) as World War 2. I will always be wary of game developers tackling real-world, modern conflicts.

The console release obviously doesn’t change things there. Thankfully the storytelling in this game is merely incompetent, and so, back when the game launched on PC, people just focused on the gameplay bits instead. If the story was in any way effective, this would have been an enormously controversial game. So in a game titled “Company of Heroes 3” you get to play as the Germans (the, uh, World War 2 Germans) in one of the game’s campaigns.
