"What if you were a German. Playing this game and seeing the Swastika flag would represent evil and possible offend them."

What do you mean? They are responsible for the war and have to live with it. No one is blaiming todays generation but why the hack they have to change the symbols? it's fogging history, like saying that Hitler wasn't german.

I think this game is the best game in years. Why can't people just stop getting at each other about this nazi flag lark and enjoy the game for what it is!

sadly it does cost authenticity however the symbol does present a meaning. I imagine its out of respect for those such as Jews. Removing the symbol takes out the political aspect of the game battle and allows those who may be sensitive to it. An even sided debate however senstivity over authenticty is priority in cencorship.

Whats the problem with the swastika? I think it's agreed that the nazis were evil but the swastika in and of itself is not. I lived in Munich until i was 17 and you can see swastikas in museums and stuff. I also dont think it'll offend the german people were the only people who take full responsibility for our history. Anyone who would be disturbed by a symbol shouldn't have access to a computer anyway

Increase the camera zoom.
Also increase line of sight and weapon ranges. It;s silly when my guys run up close enough to throw rocks at the enemy before they start to fire.
Also, nothing is fodder. Tanks are rarely front line units. Soldiers don't typically run in the open for very long.
I want to see more soldiers practice self-preservation.

wtf?
They Did not place the SWASTIKA in the game becuase the game would get banned in certain contrys (Germany,poland etc)

So thats your answer

Surely it is fascism to ban a symbol, no matter what it stands for, if it is fascism for Nazis to ban things about other forms of government, then Germany is fascist today, just in reverse.
Prohibiting free speech and expression to defend your own political idealogy is fascism, it does not matter if your political ideas are better than the Nazis, you are still violating freedoms and liberty.
Does anyone ban the allied symbols? The Allies commited the same amount of war crime as the Nazis with the only exception being the holocaust, if the holocaust had never happened then Nazis would of done no worse than the west.

It's just Germany's way of coping with its past, it's a healing process. The Swastika isn't outright banned in Germany, it can still be used if it pertains to art or education, but because videogames aren't classed as art in Germany the symbol is banned (usually replaced with an Iron Cross or similar).

The original ban circa 50 years ago was mainly out of respect of the war's victims, but Germany also wants to prevent anything like the Nazi regime occurring again - the symbol is seen as anticonstitutional and endangering the democratic principles of Germany.

Also, facism is defined usually as a goverment system with a dictator who has absolute power, forcibly suppressing opposition. Germany is a democracy. You could call it censorship though.

Having said all that a lot of German gamers would like to see the Swastika reintroduced to games set in the appropriate period, just to add a little more realism. On the flipside, a lot of Germans still find the symbol abhorrent to look at.
