Also, if you take the colours of the allied flags and roundels into account, they're blue/red/white..

While the axis has red/white/black.. So it would make more sense for the axis to be the red team, and allies be the blue team..

Please, for the sake of immersion, get rid of this whole blue/red team deal and called them axis and allies.

because, in 2001 this sim call it Forgotten Battles: Russia (RED) Vs. Germany (Blue). catch it? it means red are the bad guys and blue the good

Some people couldn't make up their mind on which side they were on.

Red colour is always mean "friend" is Russia. Nazi, tommy, yankee and other enemies is blue. But for political correctness, England forces in this game is red. You should be proud of.
