You couldn't get the swastika in the international version of Il-2 - only after some folks fiddled with external programs. In Il-2 itself there was no way to activate the swastika and the hakaristi and there still isn't a way to do this. Even the russian version had a switch in the conf.ini (the HakenAllowed=1 line) which wasn't there by default.
Again - historical accuracy in this case is irrelevant as long as Maddox Games makes just one international version, which in this case has to obey ยง86 of the german penal code and totally omit any swastika (and any optional activation of it).
