Great interview with the devs at Sledgehammer about COD:WW2 and some interesting details in there not mentioned during the livestream reveal.
They don't elaborate on whether or not health regen has been removed from both SP and MP, or if it's just one or the other. But either way that's a pretty big deal since the series has had health-regen since COD2. Here's another interesting detail about the multiplayer:

Call of Duty: WWII's story is told from the point of view of Ronald ”Red" Daniels, a rookie Private in the United States Army, 1st Infantry Division, also known as the ”Fighting First." Initially, he relies heavily on his superiors Pierson and Turner, who both have different ideas about how to conduct themselves in combat.
”Pierson and Turner have served together for years, so there's a real bond between the two men," says narrative director Scott Whitney. ”At the same time, they each embody a very different worldview, with Turner embracing a man before the mission philosophy, while Pierson is all about the mission before the man. Over the course of our story we see how these two philosophies come into conflict and how Daniels, caught in the middle, learns to navigate a path for himself. ”
Other characters appear including female resistance fighters, a soldier in an African-American unit (the U.S. Army was still segregated in WWII), a British officer and even a child.
Schofield won't talk about the health system yet, but auto-restoration is not happening. Reading between the lines, I gather that med-packs are the likely solution, perhaps even called for from medics, rather than just sitting around.
"You have to worry about every bullet," says Schofield. "You're not the superhero. You can't just stand there taking seven bullets, ducking, shooting again. It's refreshing for us to deal with recruits who aren't tier-one warriors, to show that vulnerability. They're naive. It's been a really cool challenge creating this different kind of gameplay."

In Divisions, the player creates a class and progresses through the ranks. This affords an option to choose the kind of division you want to join, whether that be infantry, airborne or armored. Players are also given a range of options in terms of the part they play, including women resistance fighters, Brits, African-American GIs and others to be announced.
