Solution for the German Version.. less than ideal but solvable

There are more differences than just Hitlers portrait. Why does it bother you how other people deal with this?

Probably because he is one of the people in support of the laws that make these changes necessary, classic historical revisionist. No need to flame people can have their opposing views.

no, there is no other difference than the portraits and that is the part that bothers me. People make it more of a issue than it really is. It is just Hitlers and some other NSDAP members portraits that are covered in shadows. There is no gameplay difference.

You didnt even read my comment. I am strictly against any censorship. I just dont understand why people make it look like a massive issue in HoI IV, while there is only one tiny cosmetic difference that doesnt affect gameplay. Atleast they didnt rename Hitler to "Hiller" or something like that as they did in HoI III and only covered his face in shadows rather than using a whole differen person.

From the FAQ:

- What exactly is meant with the German version?
- The German version lacks a certain DLC component which results in the following:
1) a bunch of prominent nazis is displayed as dark silhouettes instead of a colored portrait.
2) some speeches in events are different
3) SS generals have no skulls on their caps
4) event pictures with hitler and stuff from point 1 are different

And again, why does it bother you how other people deal with this?

Why not make a mod, which switches the shadowed pictures with real ones and adds the cencored stuff?
Much easier to do^^

There are actual other differences, just read the FAQ for the full list. Also it bothers people because they don't like historical revisions to eliminate the past just because it had some shady elements to it. You are right though, at least from what I can tell, there are no gameplay changes.
