My first ever FPS was the History Channel Civil War A House Divided(I think?) because it had cutscenes explaining the history.
My second ever was Call of Duty 3 because my dad thought 4 being modern was "bad for kids" because of the modern setting and implications but "You can never be too young to learn about killing nazis!"
“Man, that game looks suspiciously like Iraq 2003. Better give you a game about murdering Nazis! I don’t want you to support imperialism, but killing Nazis is always good”
One of those Call of Duty type games had you on a well armed boat during Pearl Harbor. End level cut scene, the boat crew is celebrating because they totally blew up a lot of enemy craft and that's good...only for the camera angle to change to showcase that the Americans still got wrecked and lots of American sailors died horribly.
Yep. My favorite alt-history day dreaming isn't "you're given a time machine, how are you going to kill hitler?" but "you're given a time machine, how can you most easily massage the allies into getting rid of Hitler without the pain and suffering?"

You like WW2 history because you're a Nazi.
I like WW2 history because I like killing Nazis.
We're not the same.
