While the Nazi regime maintained a high level of meritocracy in the military, the Fascist regime produced an officer corps that was mostly made of career officers who were more amicable to the regime and who were better at handling the politics of the military. It had been a problem since the unification really.

Raid shadow legends is an appalling game and their practices are shady at best. They pay their KZfaq promoters well though. They also have a bit from their patreon and their recent game release, although I can't imagine they got much out of that. Fun little game though. On the other side, they are dedicated and passionate historians and have an audience, that expects and appreciates historical accuracy, digging deep into topics combined with a picturesque, entertaining presentation. I think this is a big motivation to produce great content attached with a positive feedback loop. Can't go wrong with that. This and the stable revenue stream is enough to topple any mainstream content in quality.
