I know there are players who will appreciate it.  For me I don't have to worry about those details. Back to sinkin ships!  |

In Germany that's exactly what the law is NOT about. The law prohibits displaying the swastika, because they want to prevent right-wing organisations to glorify or deny the past. In fact openly glorifying the Nazi regime or denying the holocaust in Germany is an offence punishable by law.
The German government probably is one of the most open aware (and often very self conscious) about it's countries past - even to the outside world. If I'd think mor often or other countries which tend to bury their past and even present crimes I'd be sick to my stomach ...
However, this law is sometimes a bit exaggerated. Computer games are a good example. So with any WW2 simulation where German military is featured, displaying the swastika is not allowed, even if you cannot play on the German side.
However if you got a movie featuring swastikas in historical functions is not forbidden. The only reason for that I can think of is because you can participate in a game, while you cannot in movie.
