It doesnt has to do anything with censorship. Symbols of the national socialist party and state are forbidden to use outside of certain areas, such as art or education (and there is no mention of films, movies, just art). Pretty simple, if someone doesnt understand why, he/she should take an additional history lesson or two.
While I can understand the "hate for censorship" as you call it, I think its sometimes a bit off. I dont know why some people think it makes a game worse if instead of a swastika you have an iron cross on the white circle to bypass those laws. After all you could always go to court and ask a judge if this game is art or not. Naturally no publisher would try his luck and wait two to three years for a judgement whilst you cant sell this game in germany.
Perhaps in some years time, when a new generation is sitting on the judge's seat, there will be an announcement that computer games are seen as art aswell. Until then, you will have to arrange yourself with it.
