Displaying Nazi symbols in public, Nazi salutes and shouting Hitler sloagans is under penalty in Germany in general, nut just for the sport events.

However, the legal background soemtimes is a bit - unclear. For example the displaying of swastikas and Nazi uniforms is allowed for educational purposes (school teachings, documentaries), whereas swastikas in games are banned.

With regard to to the occasional public demonstration of Nazi parties (who have to name themselves differentely, of course), the definiton and understanding of what is allowed and what not often is tested and shows severe weakness. "Democratic tolerance" versus "Nazi propaganda" is considered to be a "hot iron" in Germany. Most politicians do not dare to adress it directly, fearing to loose voters that are standing at the right border of the poliical spectrum but so far has restricted themselves to chnage their support and vote for Nazi parties directly. The planned ban of a well-known German Nazio party by the german supreme court failed - for questionable procedural errors: the party was infiltrated with BND agents whose identity the BND was not willing to reveal.

Nazi jokes are not funny, even less so in Germany. I see no harm in the rules the Sun reported about. this does not mean we have a total censorship of opinion over here: You will see a lot of reference to the Nazi in German cabaret programs, for example. But of course: never in defense of the Nazi system (that would get every stage actor loosing his job).
