I can clearly see Sicle and Hammer of the soviet people, but where is nazis logo? Just because Germany has a law against it doesn't mean we all have to suffer political correctness here in USA. Couldn't they make German skins to accommodate that market and leave American version historically accurate? And no, I am not a skinhead. I suspect moderators will immediately ban my post for simply asking this questing. I don't mean troll or anything, its just German Cross symbol is so off-putting.
Game about Nazis, and no swasticas anywhere?

If you look at the belt it has the Swastika on it, same with symbol on chest. Also if it is a officer with a hat it will have a swastika on it too. It's very hard to notice and you must zoom in.

Have a look on german uniform, you will find some
that there are not tons of banners in stalingrad while they were fighting on ground is self explaining, isnt it?

As a long time strategy gamer, I can answer this: Swastikas are banned in Germany(among other places) from being used in entertainment products. The game would be unsellable there, so they usually put in the fake iron cross symbol instead.

It's not really about Nazi's, it more about the Wehrmacht ...who were fighting for the Nazis

Nazi's were not the German army. It was the Wehrmacht and the insignia is the iron cross that you see in the game.

Swastikas are not banned from being used in entertainment products. There are some games and a lot of movies (not just documenteries) in Germany that have Swastikas in it and as long as there is no glorification, it is allowed to use them in games as well as in other cultural media (and yes, games are an officially accepted culturual medium in Germany).
If Swastikas would be completely banned, every game with Swastikas in it would be confiscated in Germany and the import of such games would be prohibited.
I'm pretty sure that Red Orchestra 2 would have also recieved an aproval by the USK if there were Swastika banners, etc. in it, because it would be historically correct and no execessive magnification ...

Not entirely true, but true enough to own the thread.
The lack of education here is disturbing.

There were undoubtedly Nazi party members in the Wehrmacht and certainly in the SS. But this isn't a 'game about Nazis'. Your post OP is really underwhelming, just fyi.

Don't worry, within a week any public server you join will have you sitting at the loading screen downloading 500MB packs full of uniforms with correct markings, symbols, and other crap you probably won't care about. Just like in RO1!

Anybody remember Wolf3D or Return to Castle Wolfenstein?
Were those restricted in Germany? (I honestly don't know)
I couldn't care less if they're in a game or a movie.... but plastering swastikas all over the place just for the hell of it isn't really needed.

Been discussed so many times on these forums it actually gets pretty boring to even read the thread title tbh.

No, I'm sure they won't ban you but it has been asked and discussed to death.
Perhaps search and read the answers there
