The restriction of swastikas in public were imposed upon us by the Allied Control Council in 1945 and had to be included in the new republic laws.
exceptions:
Im Germany, the display of swastikas is allowed for civic education, in art or science, research and reporting regarding historical events, or history.
Computer games are categorized here as a toys and therefore not fall under these exceptions.
As for topic:
Ubisoft did not deactivate any german copy of the game.
They have stopped only the distribution of the CE in Germany and offers the customers who have already purchased this CE, to return this version and get money refund if they wish.
