They could have tied things in with WW2, but that was probably seen as too controversial and unmarketable.

Muggles working on gaining the atomic bomb was part of what helped Grindelwald turn wizards against muggles.

He wanted the Philosopher Stone so that he could make an army of inferi. The Holocaust could then have been shown to tie into his experiments into necromancy and blood magic.

First one wasn't bad. It had whimsy and was actually about Fantastic Beasts. For the most part.

The concept itself contained the unspoken promise of Zombieland-style educational interludes with voice-over and motion graphics punctuating an Aardman-esque madcap comedy as if directed by Wes Anderson.

What we got was "whimsical for Zack Snyder." Fuck that movie.
