It really hammers home how there are (ironically, given the franchise's name) no true heroes in war. The narrator points out how British bombing raids against German positions near her village were far from the herald of their liberation – they simply represented further destruction. It doesn't boil the conflict down to black-and-white, either.
I can't show any of the cutscenes that set this up since they were still being worked on, but I was impressed with the level of nuance and spotlighting of an aspect of World War 2 most games like this would gloss over. The linear North African campaign seems to really be leaning into the idea of presenting the war in terms of the impact it had on the local noncombatants, which is probably about as responsible a retelling as you could hope for in a real-time strategy game with playable Axis forces.
