I did like the idea of the non-mythic gods, even if it was very heavily Americanized. They just made the very understandable but also very stupid decision to avoid having their game talk about the war crimes beyond absolving the gods. It would have been better to have leaned into it on both sides - the Axis gods knew about (and their scions may have actively been involved in) the Holocaust, just like the Madame Guillotine helped the Free French violently purge sympathisers and Pecos Bill rode with the bombers at Dresden. War is hell, and all these gods have had massacres done in their name before. Put it all in a sidebar about tone and whether or not the table wants to touch those subjects at all, or just wants to play a two-fisted pulpy action/spy story.
It does also allow for things like a Scion of Fasces, as the Axis gets their own little pantheon of nationalist deities.
