So it is entirely likely that the censors would not allow it. To the point that if you thought about anything that Nazi Germany did that was even remotely horrifying, I’d wager that there was a SS man involved.
I suspect that Relic opted to use the name “Oberkommando West” because… well, the Waffen-SS were not nice people. The OKW in game resemble the Waffen in appearance as well, sporting a similar pea-dot style camouflage pattern as well as uniform style, and I am told there are several references to “Waffen” and “Honor guard” in the game’s code as well. I believe that this is the true identity of the Oberkommando West. However, there were a 4th branch, answerable only to them, that had a very dark reputation for extreme violence and “creative problem solving”: the Waffen-Schutzstaffel, or “protection squadron”. They commanded the Heer (army), the Kriegsmarine (navy), and the Luftwaffe (Lolwaffle Air Force). However, the acronym of OKW does fit with Oberkommando der Wehrmacht, translated to mean High Command of the Defense Force. Forewordĭespite my best efforts, I have not been able to find any group in history with the name “Oberkommando West”. A complete analysis of everything that the Oberkommando West can throw at the Allies in Company of Heroes 2 with the All Units Mod.
