Hang on a second, there is no law in the UK that says you can't have a swastika included with entertainment products. So we can't say for sure that every other country in Europe, unlike the UK, has laws saying you can't either.
From my knowledge it is Germany where this is most prevelant and I'm sure in other european countries, but the UK is a part of Europe where I am certain there is no law saying we can't have swastikas in games.
In saying this, I'm going to be really annoyed if I buy my UK edition and find out that the swastika has been removed out of political correctness.
Political correctness = historical innaccuracy.
