The game was developed by Russians so the Russian cover was likely the original.  Hence, I suspect whoever did the American cover was ignorant of the picture's iconic status and Americanized what E thought was simply a generic war image.

Honestly assumed it was just a generic war image that could be changed to suit different markets. Tongue

What they did is literally the equivalent of turning the flag in "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima" to the Hammer & Sickle.

sh**t man. That's messed up. "Faces of War" seems like a pretty generic title. Sounds like they could've replaced it with any WWII photo and it would've worked, but here they are changing what apparently is a pretty iconic image just to suit the market.
