Did Ubisoft just deactivate all german copies of SH5?

[Kapitanleutnant]

I just read this on another forum:

Ubisoft disabled all german Collector's Edition copies of Silent Hunter 5. They forgot to remove a Swastika in the CE manual and demand that the customer sends the manual to Ubisoft. Until then, their game will be disabled. Great way to care about the customer.

Can any German forum members confirm or deny this?

edit: semi-confirmation from this website, but that just confirms a recall. Still don't know about deactivations.
