The problem runs a little deeper than "boo, violent game". It's a fact that showing of Nazi symbology aside from an "educational context" is a legal offense in Germany, which includes games but strangely excludes movies (Indiana Jones comes to mind). Don't ask me why, I didn't make that law.

ActiBlizzard overlooked one small swastika when self-censoring the game for the german market and that is the reason they are recalling the game, for fear of getting slapped with a potentially costly lawsuit.Posted at 8:01PM on Sep 22nd 2009 by BFBeast666

i suppose germans dont want to have any association with their nazi heritage. it must be difficult, and embarassing, but grandparents can be that way i suppose. just accept that the rest of the world hates your grandparents, and lets move forward. we dont hate germany, just your grandparents.
