Not entirely true. It is outlawwed in all use in Germany. In other EU countries, its use is limited to things like books, games, etc, as long as it isn't in a propagandatory sence of use.

Remember when Prince Harry of England went to a costumeparty some years ago, dressed as an SS-officer with Swastika-band on his arm? This is not illegal, since it was a costumeparty. Now, when he would be brandishing it, screaming "sieg heil" and singing Horst Wessel, now that would be illegal. What he did was bad taste, but not illegal.

The same goes with other general use. It is certainly not illegal to use swastika's in computer games, unless the game itself glorifies nazism.
