A Germany Mod

If Germany wants to make Nazi flags illegal that is their right. That

They cannot, however, claim to be a "free democracy" while making such things illegal and even jailing people for it, especially whilst accusing Iran and other Muslim countries of not having "free speech" ;) And by the way, this censorship is a violation of religious freedom because the swastika is an important symbol in the Hindu and Buddhist religions.

You should not post such symbols on a public, open forum. They are illegal to use in Germany (except for in historical concept - which is not the case in a game in everyones opinion. of course in mine it is, though) and there are quite a few Germans on this board.

Germany doesn't have a right to impose its censorship on the rest of the world. Geez, sometimes it seems as if Germany had won WWII in how it manages to impose its censorship and intolerance on everyone else. What would people say if someone suggested we shouldn't post images of Muhammed on this forum because it may be illegal in Muslim countries? Or that we shouldn't post Taiwan's flag because its illegal in China? I mean, before you knew it, we couldn't post anything!
 
I suspect that one would take for granted that flags and other images depicting German history would likely turn up in a thread called "A Germany Mod", in a game that often re-creates historical scenarios for players interested in historical scenarios. I understand no one wants to offend anyone. Had the thread been called "I like Bread", then pictures of swatikas might be seen as non-historical or sneaky. But this isn't the case here, so lets move on.

Is anyone working on this scenario?
