That's why the official version counts as a mistake, which should never have been made. Whatever the mod community then does afterwards is another matter.

I'm sorry, but this is just getting silly. Do people really believe that one picture in a game is going to incite mass NAZIism? I fully agree that lessons must be learnt from the past, that's exactly why during my education I clearly remember being shown NAZI propaganda images and videos of parades and the like, and then talking about and analyzing them. Funnily enough, over 15 years later and none of my old school friends have since gone and joined a neo-nazi group, or started rounding up and killing jews!
You don't stop history from repeating itself by covering up every bad image from the past with a lovely little photo of some cute puppies dancing under a rainbow in a cloud of fairy dust!
