When Battlefield V revealed women as playable characters, some people reacted negatively. They say women did not fight on the front lines in World War II, and that the game is "historically inaccurate" and "disrespectful". How often did women ACTUALLY fight on the front lines in World War II?

More can be written, but to start, you might like to see this discussion: "How many female soldiers saw combat in WW2?" . /u/fell-like-rain had a direct answer. /u/Searocksandtrees and Georgy_K_Zhukov linked to previous discussions by /u/Bernardito (the British case that they already pointed to), /u/Georgy_K_Zhukov (including about video games and a Battlefield game specifically), and armdoc.

This is not to discourage discussion. Further questions, data, and debate are welcome.

I have previously written on the case of Battlefield V and the case of British women in this post. If you have any further questions about this, the reception of Battlefield V, or the case of "historical accuracy", feel free to ask.
