Germans are much less tolerant of this malarkey than I am. They would not permit that flag to be displayed in their country or used in a video game sold in their country. The actual U-Boat sailors, almost to a man, savagely fight any notions that they are somehow heroes, as they know that the cause they fought for made any heroism impossible. No, Germans are much less prone to Nazi worship than others, especially Americans.
German citizens were Naziism's worst victims. We don't need to lecture Germans. We need to lecture strangely misguided and perverse Americans most of all.
