I've just ordered my wingmen to go on the attack, I push the throttle to full and move in behind an enemy aircraft...the last thing on my mind is "hmmm wheres the swastika on that plane" :)

Also the public display of swastikas is a criminal offense in Germany, Poland, Hungary and I believe Austria as well. As a result most companies such as scale modeling companies won't print swastika decals as well. I think this is the primary reason we see this sort of "censorship" .

Yes, but in America people are "offended" by other flags, like a certain Confederate flag, because they were used in hate crimes, just like the Nazi symbol. You can never be historically accurate without upsetting someone.

Good point tofu, but I could totally see a CoD game in the Civil war and they would have no problem using the Rebel flag. The flag is only banned from capitial buildings, i think alabama used the rebel symbol up till late 90s early 2000s.
The nazi flag, you be nutz to fly that flag around america though, what a slap in the face to everyone trying to free europe.
America is still baby face really, we had the best outcome of any country in the war. we never had our soil even stepped on except for pearl harbour, so things about nazis to us are just more about America going to a foreign coutry for fight the good fight, then what really happened.
But did you hear about the Fallujah game in the works already? guess what, it pissed off familys of dead veteran, so the game lost is producers (konami dropped it like a bad habbit)
or how about a foriegn game company making a game about being terrists, and one mission is to fly into the twin towers, i think we would be pissed then, yet to the rest of the world, no much care towards, and vica versa
