Why, of course the Allies are heroes, but heroes in a classical sense: strong gritty men battling monsters. People don't need to remain completely guilt-free in a Disney-esque manner to be heroes. Have you seen "Inglourious Basterds"? The Basterds are cruel bordering on sadistic, they are extremely unpleasant people, but they still are heroes. Heroes are not something like Spiderman, you know. Courage, strength, and the essencially right side are what makes a hero.

axis ≠ villains

No? The Third Reich which exterminated dozens of millions of civilians everywhere it could reach because they had the "wrong" ethnicity is not villainous to you? I can't sweepingly condemn *the several genocides* the Axis committed as DESPICABLE AND HORRIBLE? But of course I can, and I will. An equal portrayal of the Allied side would not be "dirty and gritty". I'm not opposed to dirty and gritty. It would be libelous. As in, deliberately untrue.

Villainy doesn't exist in the real world.

A human is a human. There are not 'good' and 'bad' people, just people. Adolf Hitler was a charismatic person and was good with manipulating others. It doesn't make him evil. It makes him charismatic and manipulative.

Cardboard cut-out villains were fabricated to get people to rally the troops and fight for their own side with added vigor. And if you're trying to say that there is always a hero and a villain, what about the Cold War? Not a single shot was fired, of course, but who was wrong and who was right? Was anyone definitely the hero? What about the villain?

There are as many views as there are people, wars included.
