Though, if any instances of any truck ever joining the Nazi party are found, then that may well give credance to the rumours I keep hearing of 'Nazi trucks'. Leave the machines alone and let the humans take the blame - they had the free choice as to join or not.
Having a German plane flown by a Nazi, is of course different, as that human made the choice to join the Nazi party and support its cause, but don't blame the plane for its pilot's choice. To have any such thing close to this in IL2, you would have to be a Nazi, flying a German plane, but as no one can be a member of the Nazi party now, you can only wish for it and it will never happen.

Hear that, Jay Jay the Jet plane? Your party membership is hereby cancelled!
In all seriousness, I'm guilty as charged on that one. I should have been more clearer when describing a plane flown by the Nazi ruling regime in Germany circa WW2... But it also proves the point I was trying to make...sailing a U-boat in a sim doesn't make me a Nazi. I'm not sailing for the glory of the Fatherland. I'm having fun sinking pixels with the same weapons and abilities a U-boat carried in the same situations a U-boat would have encountered. Because I like to place myself in the same situations they were in is a far cry from furthering the goals of Nazi era Germany or their ideology now or then.

Another mea culpa for me. I thought your position at the time was that playing a U-boat sim was inherently bad as it supported the Nazi position. I now understand that you were talking about forum signatures displaying Nazi symbolism.
