Hi, does anyone know if there is a WW2 themed pinball, like Dambusters or something similar?

Closest I can think of is Tommy with its references.

Here's a few

Nothing much really WW2 there (with flippers anyway) or too little info to see what's what. Suspect the darkness of the theme never really fit with pinball.

Plus, it might be hard to market into Germany a machine called "D-Day" (Similarly, a machine to Britain with a Blitzkreig theme).
Still, computer games like Battle of Britain and Call of Duty certainly took off - some WW2 themes might have worked. Imagine a Gottlieb EM called "Rats of Tobruk"!
