Yeah that is what I mean.
I would say it's most likely due to strategy games being story-lite and more based around historical re-enactment.
Whereas a FPS typically has a story of some sort...or in other words (and like you already mentioned) a "protagonist" to play as. So you know, the hero. I think most people would have a hard time putting themselves in the shoes of a Nazi hero and fulfilling some Nazi/Hitler themed story.
Typical modern military shooters don't really have a story. In CoD 2 you're basically just a soldier fighting in battles together with your squad. It doesn't have much of a story at all.
Anyway, a WW2 themed RPG would be perfect if it included nazi occultism and stuff. That would be great. Play as a member of Himmler's secret SS SUPERNATURAL DIVISION!
Or make a WW2 RPG that is similar in tone to this:
Because honestly, the modern gaming world needs more games that don't take themselves too seriously.

Would be the greatest game OF ALL TIEM!

I wouldn't be surprised if Pandemic would've gone this way with the Saboteur 2 if EA hadn't killed them.A WWII game set in this: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/modiphius/achtung-cthulhu-the-ww2-keepers-and-investigators

I'm SO going to buy this and play it with my P&P group.
And someone has to make an RPG in this setting. It would be like... like... like that awesome Lovecraftian game some Iron Tower guys were making but never saw the light of day.

Ravenloft RPG.
Just some new nice gothic fantasy, preferably survival and exploration centered instead of hack&slash.What about Stone Prophet and Strahd's Possession? Or did you mean that you want more Ravenloft RPGs?
