There is a double-edged sword in play here. On the one hand, I wouldn't be surprised if the density of "non-Caucasian" soldiers as well as female soldiers is somewhat unrealistic. In a sense, that's what happens with "creative liberty". On the other end of this sword, however, is the fact that CoD desperately needs WWII to be a breakout success the likes of which hasn't happened since MW3. In order to do that, they need not to gather any large quantity of negative media, because that might put off potential customers. If they'd made a game with all white male characters (regardless of accuracy or realism or whatever else), I'd bet my hindquarters there'd be a PR nightmare that came of it. It shouldn't make a huge difference, unless you found yourself in a moral dilemma whenever Seraph showed up on the battlefields of Black Ops 3.
