I'd be all for a German/Italian/Japanese story, if it just involved playing a soldier of said country throughout the entire war. Same with being a French or British, or Soviet, soldier all throughout.
Besides, you can have a cool story without it being a preachy moral lesson or political. Modern Warfare was pretty great, and so was Bad Company and Bad Company 2. Gears of War was a great franchise, and it didn't beat players over the head with morality, even if the world and backstory for the COG and Pendulum Wars were grimdark.
Fascist Italian campaign could be a good step then, not so controversial and could have some good action, fighting in North Africa.
Somehow I would have a hard time buying a SP campaign where you, as an Italian, gun down hundreds of Brits or Greeks...when Italian forces performed so infamously poorly at most fronts they were involved.
EDIT: With that being said, I really would like to see some war theatres that have not been realized in FPS format yet...like the aforementioned Albanian Front of 1940 (Italians vs Greeks), the Winter War (Finns vs Soviets), Khalkyn Gol (Japanese vs Soviets), Fall of France (Germans vs French) etc, rather than the umpteenth rendition of D-Day and Stalingrad.
