I guess swastikas arent included for simplicity's sake so there are as few problems with some countries where its illegal to display it as possible. Even though the number of those where it's legal if far greater AFAIK. :)

It makes sense obviously since modding it in isn't a problem at all and takes a minute (note again that it's legal where I live).

Oh its monty Python :rofl: I dont know probably due to copyright.
No, it's probably due to the Nazi imagery present in the sketch. But I didn't think it was illegal if on films unless it's a pretty blatant apology of Nazism, even more so considering that it's a pretty silly and harmless film. I don't see how "Mr. Hilter", "Mr. Bimmler" and "Ron Vibbentrop" could be in any way offensive or threatening! Oh well.

If it's a no-no in Germany, chances are it's a no-no in these boards as well. I'll see if a mod can remove it before I get in too much trouble. :eek:o

well then the swastikas but you were right it wouldnt be illegal.

That would be kind of ironical if you get banned due to an Monty Phyton video, dont think this will happen:rolleyes:

Mr.Bimmler sounds pretty funny in german....

Seriously, can one of the developers confirm/deny this? This pretty much makes or breaks the sale for a bunch of people, me included. Or are you still debating about it internally?

But "Hiller" - are you germans really serious? Sounds like an idea right out of Harry Potter so I think you should name him Voldemort in the german version.
I'm not so sure what you mean, Hiller is actually a pretty normal German name. Incidentally one of my professors has got that name. Though I have to admit that one of the first things that came to my mind was what a small, horizontal bar would make of her surname ;)

On topic: the reason films are allowed to use swastika is that they are treated pretty much automatically as a form of art. A prerogative games do not share. That's the main reason you got no Swastika in Wolfenstein but they're all right in Indiana Jones.
As I see it, using Hitler's real name wouldn't be a problem, but if you change it I really wouldn't mind.

What I'd really like to know is if you'll leave the other languages in, so we can swith. That really bothered me in my HoI2 Anthology version, where I could switch languages in Doomsday but there were only German language strings for Armageddon. It was kind of annoying if you were used to English tech names :rolleyes:
