I have been in touch with youngsters, 16 years old, preaching the old story over and over again.

As long as somebody is able to abstact reality from fiction, like you and I can, it is OK.

Some guys here can' t so far...
Last year, I have met a Romanian guy, whom I actually liked untill a while ago, when we by chance started to talk history and then it turns out he doesn't believe in holocaust having taken place in that big scale as it did. And he is a university student for Christ sake and should know better.
The revisionist theory is slowly but steadily spreading, and therefore we must make sure to keep enlighten the young people to avoid the history to repeat itself, but sadly I'm afraid it ultimately will...
Glorifying the Nazi regime in a video game aimed for the young casual players are not exactly helping in that regard. Most of us elder simulation freaks can see the difference, but I think such an image does glorify the regime in the eyes of a young boy, so an alternative screen would have been in order.
EDIT: the image from Kylania up there seems like a much better image.
