It seems that somewhere in IL-2 BOP the historically correct name of "Armand Hiller" is spoken or shown and where that is the case that name has been left blank or has been omitted/removed.

Makes one wonder what else has been censored in the IL-2 BOP FRG version.

Just order the UK version. It's a safe bet for getting a game that is as uncensored as can be and usually it's out earlier. Furthermore I don't think there is a Benelux version, it should be the one that Anton referred to as the 'EU' version in one of his posts and that's the one that Germany gets.

I really cannot see how mentioning Hitler in a historically accurate context can be against the law (even in Germany), but I gave up trying to understand it...
