The Imperial Japanese flag isn't banned anywhere. Though you can use the swastika in Germany in historical movies (serious ones only of course) and you are also allowed to use period pictures and movies.I hate that you're allowed to use the Imperial Japanese flag but not the swastika. :huh:
And I agree with Panzer.
So if you use it in that context the reasoning behind the forum ban isn't there, which is why I have asked Blade whether or not I can use period pictures in the next game I will GM. It will be about Sophie Scholl and the White Rose.
