This is a cheap and disgusting ploy for profit. It feels like Hasbro is saying that WWII wasn’t interesting enough on its own merits.

These are historical board games, not history lessons, however they can lead to a greater appreciation of history. They may spark a path to learning about our world in the present. I love the zombie genre on it’s own merits. What I don’t appreciate are crossover ploys, especially ones that don’t involve the original designers or creators.
