Dieselpunk is literally a fascist aesthetic derived primarily from the third reich. Like the primary examples of dieselpunk art are the more recent Wolfenstein games. It’s literally just fascist tank worship.

I enjoyed the ones I’ve played so far, but have some real mixed feelings on the setting. In a vacuum there’s nothing wrong with an alt-history world like that, but since it isnt in a vacuum, i hate how it buys into and therefore promotes the idea of Nazi scientific superiority and “superweapons” and over inflated sense of the wehrmachts power. It also completely erases the Soviet Union obviously. I don’t remember but it probably puts forth human wave theory as why they lost
The second game also has cool Communists and Black Panthers in it which made gamers big mad.
If I recall correctly, the soviet government surrendered after getting nuked
It’s on a newspaper snippet in the HQ in the first game
