It is very easy to judge people and events from the Second World War, shooting your opinions from the comfortable position of our modern world. It is very easy to be a smart-ass right now, when all the information is in our reach, you just need to pull out your smartphone.
This wasn’t the case in the times of war. You knew only what you were told, or read in propaganda-driven newspapers, or heard on propaganda-driven radio. Collaboration with Germany was a very wide phenomenon, having all shades of grey.
On the one side we have these forcefully drafted men. Your choice was to go with Wehrmacht or get a bullet in the head. What would you do? I’d go. I wouldn’t be proud of it, but the will to live is somewhat stronger than anything else for some people. Imagine how much suffering these people had to sustain, on the Eastern Front, especially. Not for “their cause”. Not for their nation. Only for survival. Forced to do some really bad shit. Their tragedy is something indisputable for us.
The other side were collaborators who believed. Many believed in the idea of fighting against Bolshevism. That was the catchiest and probably the smartest thing that Nazi propaganda had to offer. Can we condemn them for getting into this? Of course, they could pull out their phones and check what is the truth, what kind of monsters their new “friends'' really are. Oh wait… they couldn’t. Yet, seeing how many people are ready to swallow any propaganda nowadays (being fanatically convinced that this is the truth), I doubt things changed with this “age of information”. Look how many people today are attracted to Communism, even if all the knowledge is right in their reach - ready to be grasped.
The last ones, who we really condemn, were those who sold their souls for selfish benefits. Traitors, opportunists and first of all - many politicians - they all deserved to be shot.
Now, let’s watch the third part of War Diaries, shall we?
In the next episode of War Diaries, we encourage you to confront myths about the Red Army, especially rooted in Western pop culture. Do you think that Red Army soldiers were noble, proud liberators? Reconsider this while watching this video.
We really don't like it when someone acts like this and offends our fans....Judge for yourself.
Hatred appeared in the interestingly-sounding title "The 6 Dumbest Interactions Between Gamers and Creators". It's funny, because the Hatred section says nothing about "Interactions Between Gamers and Creators". Anyway, the author wrote about himself „Follow me for fake gamer news” so we think that pretty much sums up his articles.
Proud to present you the documentary short-film by Destructive Creations

Here is the extended version of our first episode of the short “War Diaries” documentary. Our goal here is not to educate you, there’s almost no “hard knowledge” in the video. We wish to give you some of the general emotions we feel about those times, to encourage you to dig deeper. Did you think the death toll in Western Europe was tremendous? Watch and think again. The history is full of nuances and the judgement depends on who's looking at it. This is why we're making War Mongrels, this is the game where many views will collide. Enjoy!
One of the important gameplay mechanic will be a change of clothes.
The stealthy style of the game has been supplemented with disguise mechanics, so that you can plan the entire guerrilla action in the style of a silent assassin.
Add War Mongrels to your Steam wishlist and stay up to date with future updates.
