Thanks Scorpius... but I don't understand which legal reasons could prevent the devs from depicting the truth? Is this not a bit like pretending that Gremlins invaded Poland and not Germans? History is history... nuff said.
The reason is that there is a single "European Release" throughout the European Union rather then individual releases for each country. In some states such as Germany, the Swastika is banned iconography, in other countries whilst it is legal - it makes sense to avoid causing inadvertent insult by using it for entertainment.

I for one live in a country where the use of a Swastika wouldn't be illegal, but choose not to mod the game. For one thing I don't see it as neccecery to enjoy the game and second, I have a lot of living relatives who survived the war (on both sides) and would rather not risk offending them.
