Well... I have dug myself a hole now haven't I...

Ok, after a bit of research here is my list of improved and more accurate country names (I have only included those that need changing) :

Deutschland - Deutsches Reich
Russland - Sowjetunion
GrossBritanien - Britisches Reich
USA - Vereinigte Staaten
Kolumbien - Columbien
Red Cross - Rotes Kreuz

That's all I've noticed, the rest seem accurate. It's not really that important but these would be great.

Can you post it in the GW thread? could be awesome.

Awesome work!!
Ready to download......!!

BTW following the Boris post here some historical indications:

Italy: Italienisches Königreich

RSI: Italienische Sozialistische Republik

GrossBritanien: England Vereinigtes Königreich

and found also for USA: Vereinigtes Staaten von Amerika

Thanks for the extra contributions...
I was working mainly off what I could find written in actual Kriegsmarine recognition manuals, including the one listed on ebay posted by jscones.
As I said, its nice to make the names right... but nothing to spend sleepless nights over (unless that's your thing).

Sorry guys but i have to improve. ;)

*"Großbritannien" ist right, no German would say "Britisches Reich"

*Kolumbien with "K"

Ok, I just made an output of all the flags and their nation names.

Tell me if all are ok or if theres a flag/name to be corrected.

Thanks

Looks great to me. :up: I'll be downloading this for sure.

I can't see anything that needs to be changed.

Wow :o looks greate :up:

Wow, looks really great!

Just one comment and three questions:

1.) It must be 'Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika', without an 's'.

2.) In the right coloum, the 9th from below looks strange. Should it be Jugoslawien like the last one in the right coloum?

3.) Will there also be an entry for Croatia (Kroatien)?

4.) Will there also be a version without flags?


I am really looking forward to download this very nice mod. Thanks for your work!

Cheers, LGN1

1- Thanks for pointing, I'll make the corrections
2- It a preview only, all the bands should be same, I croped a small portion to fit in the canvas
3- If there is a mod using Croatia nation, it can be done, but only if it really nessassary. To this day, GW to my knowledge have the most complete nationality list available.
4- No. Simply for the ease of the non-german people and also for total weight issue. The package is almost 60 meg not compressed.

Great!!!
just a question, will there also be a version with "low contrast " pages to match the night vision?

hell yea. I started with the Low Contrast idea. Yesterday I realised that I had to do the High Contrast version :nope: .

Thanks, for the fast reply. I think I saw Croatia in one mod but I don't remember which one. Anyway, it is not important.

Concerning the 'no flag' version, I just asked because I would like to have a version without swastika. But no problem if there is only one version I can remove it myself.

Thanks again for all the great work!

Cheers, LGN1

I understand your desier for that diferent version, but using the Swatica doesn't necessary means that you believe and agree with the Swasticas Idealism and meaning, it's just an historical aproach... :up:

I wish we don't start a debate about using the Swastika. For some people it not only a matter of personnal use but many things like Familly issue or law afairs... don't want to elaborate on this but I guess you get my idea.

At this time it there was no planification of mine to do a version sans Swatiska... Maybe in a future.

I completely agree that using the swastika in such a situation does absolutely not mean that you are a nazi or something like that. It is just a matter of taste. I don't like it but that does not mean that I have problems if others are using it.

Cheers, LGN1

Edit:
I just saw JonZ comment. Sorry for bringing up this topic. It was not my intention to discuss this. Just a question. Thanks for your reply!

Actually i didn't ment to start any debate about this matter , but i think i can talk freelly about the subject, and also i started saying that i understood his taste and opinion of what he would like or not, as he says, it's a question off taste, but also have to tell , that using a Swastica doesn't give you any kind off law prossecution, unless you're a using it for political, racial, or religious, matters, or ofcourse if you are a Nazi and live in Israel ( JK). :rock:


It was just an opinion! :up:

Well, what do you know.

I found a very simple way to add a version sans Swastiska without a high cost of Kilobytes. It was a breeze to do.

I speak German myself and thought some of these names look strange...
But in:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/WW-II-Kriegsm...QQcmdZViewItem
That's how the countries are called, according to the headings at the top of pages and the flag identification page.

So they actually did say Britisches Reich and spelt Columbien with a C...

Sorry everyone, I just don't like being wrong so I have to justify myself :smug:

hmm which one I should believe, Boris or Scire :hmm:
