Hi !

Simple Reason...

In some European countries, like Germany or Austria, the public display of Swastikas is forbidden by law. As the game is distributed worldwide, I guess the development team just wanted to avoid any legal hassle with any authorities.

Of course it is now lacking a bit the historic accuracy, but I guess most European players won´t miss them or might feel offended if they were included.

If you might have seen the the "Valkyrie" Movie with Tom Cruise...During the shot of the flight scenes the Swastikas needed to be covered on the planes (Public Display) while on Ground for the Studio Shots they were shown.

Greetings from Germany
