If you are willing to play a German WWII-U-boat commander and sink American and British ships, I don't think you should be offended by some end of game screen display.

WRONG. There's a BIG difference in playing a submarine simulation as a weapon of war in and of itself. And things like imagery that gloriy the 3rd reich.

There are several things wrong with the imagery in that picture.

1.) The emphasis on the flags in the background. Three of them for christ sakes. Having removed the swaztika means jack, we all know what it is.

2.) The reich eagle in the foreground. Having removed the swaztika from it's talons means jack. We all know what it is.

3.) The uboat is sandwiched between the two, being wrapped in the symbolism of an ideology.

4.) The context of the message smacks of negationism

5.) The composition, and theme of the overall picture is a carbon copy of Nazi propaganda posters. Google image search that and you'll see simularities

6.) The flowery rose petals shower, indicating heroic" and triumphant over the existing symbolism. Kinda like a roman parade you see in the movies.
