Or look at the discussion about first person shooters in Germany. Some politicians really think that those kids who ran amok in their schools did it because they were playing such games. Nobody seems to realize there that apart from playing computer games all of them had another thing in common - being pushed out of society and mobbed by classmates until their only wish was to die or to kill everyone who was torturing them.

actually, most of those kids are mentally ill, or at least they claim to be during their trial....

anyway, regarding the main topic of this thread, it's not so much the history of WW2 that they are trying to cover up, its just the whole... nazi thing (swastica etc.)

case in point, look at my signature pic. when this captured german plane was sent back to germany to be restored by Dornier, they gave it a 'period correct' pain scheme, minus one very infamous symbol....

[me.too]

Ah, I love this country! I feel soooo protected from all that bad stuff...

LOL, its f****** ridiculous!

It is illegal to own Return To Castle Wolfenstein here in Germany for example...

By the way, showing Nazi symbols and saying Hitler in movies like Indiana Jones is totally ok!
If I remember it correctly it's because movies are art, games are not!

LOL! When it went back to its original museum did they fix that little "oversight"?

so how do you think the germans feel about a video game coming out every 6 months that is completley based on the rest of the world killing them,

HAHAHA if you just think about it. Germany's biggest mistake lives on in video games so well. and its illigal to own wolfenstein? ahh wow i feel bad for people in germany, that was such a great game. in 1995 and in 2003 haha

i guess that would be like it being illigal in america to own... eh... um...


wait we never lost a war did we?

vietnam?

[Majictoast]

im pretty sure america captured saigon and it was the vietnamese general Duong Van Minh (South Vietnam) who surrenderd. and seeing as vietnam payed for war preparations and they had also surrenderd their economy to america, due to the fact their own war screwed them self over...

we lost way too many brave men and women. and it was a terrible thing that happened. but america did not surrender. they did. case and point.

mmm time for some texas fries with jalepeos mm and im gona pour some spicy chili over it... mmm oh i have to go. be back later

are we winning? no... have we lost yet? no...

so back to the US Not losing a war yet... it still stands untill we pull out of Iraq and Afghanastan due to the fact you cant tell the differance between gorilla fighters and civilians. So with that advantage on their side. its a blind war.

we could easily sove the whole conflict but it would never happen. all you have to do is force a new god on them and every one who does not conform will be shot. so thats a pretty simple fix

**im just kidding**

I do think it must be a little hard to swallow (for the German people that is) that games like Call of Duty, Brothers in Arms etc. are aimed squarely at the German Army. There's a strong sentiment in those games that if you're in the German army, you're a Nazi and so you're fair game, whereas obviously nothing could be further from the truth. I'd actually love to see a Call of Duty with a good Axis campaign, to tell the other side of the story, but I guess that's never going to happen.
