My suggestion:

I know that Swastika's were removed from the game because they are illegal to be displayed in public in france and germany, but I believe this rule does not apply when they are placed for historical accuracy, and as long as they are not shown in public. I know this is a sensitive matter, and that it might be a pain in the behind to have them in the game, but it just feels strange seeing a german plane with a black square instead of a swastika on the tail ( I'm all for historical accuracy).

maybe the game can be coded in a way where the game checks the language of the console, and if it's german or french the textures which contain swastikas get swapped for textures without swastikas? ( I am aware of the fact that there are several countries that speak german, and also several countries that speak french, but even if these few countries get left out, the rest of the world can play a historically accurate, uncensored game)
or an option where the player can turn offensive content like swastika's on/off, where the player can decide if swastikas are displayed ingame or swapped for balkenkreuzen.

but this would probably still piss off the german censor board, and will cause a heap of extra work for you guys...
Agggh! I hadn't noticed this but it drives me insane! OK I understand that nobody wants a game that encourages neo-nazis, but come on, this is history and we can't pretend that the history never happened. No offense to people from other countries, but stuff like this makes me thank god the Founders wrote the First Amendment!
