That is rather stupid though. Mao and Stalin are just fine, but Hitler is taboo?
Actually, Paradox Interactive did that with Hearts of Iron 2 (in the German version, some Nazi leaders are renamed and don't have their pictures) and didn't receive any bad press for it IIRC. There's no reason why Firaxis shouldn't include Hitler if Stalin and Mao are included (I don't think Hirohito should be included anyway). Heck, Call of Duty 2 had swastikas in plain view on their maps and I don't remember hearing anyone complain about that.Cethegus said:...actually not. Imagine the yellow press and their headlines about you being able to play as Hitler after Firaxis decides to honor history enough to put him in. Considering today's standards, that would be a political suicide in the eyes of the press for Firaxis. Also I think France and some other countries have a problem with him or anything Nazi-related being portrayed anywhere so for legal and political the official version of the scenario must include the Weimar Republic instead of Third Reich.
