You know, I was thinking: are far as the emblem is used on the forums goes, if someone just had a big Nazi flag in their signature, it'd be one thing.

But that's not what we're talking about, are we? We're talking about graphics that incorporate the image in the historical context of the game. I have no problem with that.

Personally, I think too many people are way too fast to take offense these days. Indeed, a certain graphic looked like a recruiting poster for the Kriegsmarine. So what? A reasonable person should put that into context. As such, let's do so.

1: We know this person is not actually recruiting for Nazi mariners.
2: We know this person is participating in a HISTORICAL game which simulates the operations of vessels run by the Nazis.
3: This person has not indicated that he supports anything other than proper historical immersion.

As such, I find nothing wrong with the signature. That person is probably simply appreciating the fact that he's simulating historical situations.
