I doubt we will be launching an assault into Poland from these forums

And as for the german prohibition of the swastika:

1.) It were the Allied Military Authorities who had this prohibition entered into west-german criminal law after the war.
2.) I have no desire to see the moronic grandkids of the Nazis march through german streets with that regalia again. If they did those complaining the loudest would probably be the same ones who propagate "freedom of speech über alles".
3.) Where historical documentations, books and teaching materials are concerned the use of the swastika is allowed. PC games are just that, games (or toys). Various german courts have ruled that this division is constitutional and will not be changed.

+1!

Im not making this post to sound off or cause a fight, its just so others can remove their HK's, hammers and sickles etc as well... Even if it is for Historical accuracy.

Good! Thanks for removing it!
