Easy Red II is both cheap, fun and easy to play.
Plus it has vehicles.
What I mostly enjoy is that it takes me a couple of minutes to start playing and it delivers right away.
The cons are mostly the AI is outdated-ish. There's a mod that improves it though and the devs are constantly adding new stuff.
I'll second this, Easy Red II is a lot of fun and there's a huge variety of different theatres, many which don't get represented often. As stated, updates are regular and genuinely improve the game a lot.
It's my go-to game to just fire up and start shooting stuff.
This looks like a late 2000s game if it were made today, and I mean that as a compliment. I like that they seem to include some aspects of WW2 that are relatively obscure to larger popular media, like the Sino-Japanese war, the German invasion of Greece, and Final days of the German forces in Tunisia.
The cheap price tag definitely makes this a easy pill to swallow too, $10 CAD and not even on sale. Will definitely consider this as a nostalgic medal of honor allied assault spiritual successor

Undead nazis, free to play based on wolfenstein engine
Blade of Agony is an excellent Doom standalone mod, and it’s free!
If you like MMOs, City Of Heroes Homecoming has a few facist factions (and actual Nazis) to fight. Fuckton of replayability and it's free

I think the original Red Faction comes close - bad guys are a big corrupt corporation. You are part of a worker revolt iirc. Not sure about the other Red Faction games.
I spent so much time playing MoH: Frontline as a kid. Achievements didn't exist but it gave you stats at the end of each mission and I replayed the levels over and over until I killed every nazi with only groin shots.
I really like the sniper elite series. I really did not like the last game. It just felt different/ reduced/ worse.
It's just a level pack for Sniper Elite 5 repackaged as a new game. They didn't introduce a single new feature, and the levels are mostly just reused assets from 5 with new layouts.
And even 5 struggled to stand out from 4.
I actually think it's a series that could use a refresh. Maybe a time jump to a different war or a move to a different theatre/front.
Or go full alt history and have us killing Nazis in other time periods. And not just Cold War era or modern Nazi killing: Sci-fi Nazi killing. Or Western!

Kind of a problem how nazis in WW2 games are quite different from the wannabe-fascists and fascists of today. You mostly kill drafted soldiers in those games, and if you think about it too much, those are probably the people who least deserve their gruesome deaths.
Makes it not work for me as a safety valve.

Classified: France '44 is a tactical turn-based game where you play with allied paratroopers and French resistance to cause mayham in France before the landings of D-day. Basically XCOM but WW2. It's very well done, and you get to shoot a lot of nazis!
Darkenstein 3D. Free to play wolfenstein-like, but you're playing as a dude looking for his dog. Shoot Nazis and gain health by eating pie and drinking beer.
Now that you mention it, I wish there was a musou-like (Hack and slash that mindless horde) or EDF-like game (BLOW THE WHOLE FUCKING CITY TO SAVE IT!!!) where the enemies are nazis.

Somewhat related, there's also a fun Nazi-killing movie called Sisu. (But only part 1, part 2 is against Soviets)
It's completely over the top and unrealistic action, but fun.
The 2022 movie?
Imagine Inglorious Basterds, then take all of the cinematography and writing and talent and throw it all away. Sisu
Lmao
Yeah but everything good in the movie is in the trailer too
I have to make a call of duty to piracy.
If you're not looking for first person games try Commandos behind enemy lines and it's slightly less good expansion Commandos beyond the call of duty which are currently 50% off on gog for the next week under the commandos ammo pack title. More fun to get in there with the knife or blow then up with explosives.
