Delivery to Germany

[PopskiPPA]

Does anybody know if there is a problem with delivering the game to Germany because of the swastikas?
I don't want to order and then have customs confiscate it.
I know I can remove the swastikas but that won't help me if I can't get the cd in the first place.

i am not sure, but when you're older then 18 it shouldn't be a problem.

i have searched a little bit, the swastika would be a problem if the game would be offical released in germany. a direct import for privat use shouldn't be a problem.

Thank you very much.
That is good news.
Where did you get that information? Maybe I could investigate further.

A buddy of mine called the customs information center.
Anything with forbidden symbols will be confiscated if found and there will be trouble with the authorities.
I don't think higher resolutions are worth the trouble.

It is probably too late to produce a swastika-free version, but in the future it could help raising the sales in Germany.

Is there swastika on game cover? if not, i doubt customs will play game to see if there is swastika used in game

Personally i think it's ridiculous how many games are crippled in europe because germanys law in this matter, like real historical markings like swastika in a wargame would make player a nazi or something...stupid politics, luckily most game have patches to add right markings afterwards.

Nobody knows if there is a swastika on the cover, except for the cover-designers.
I could wait until the first shipments arrive and ask if there are any swastikas on the cover. But I would lose the preorder savings, and the price is quite steep with shipping overseas and import tax.
I think I will be content with the download version for now.

Vive la Political Corectnes
With comunism we havo no problem we can put Red Stars , sickle and hammer , Lenin , Stalin and Mao , Red Flag of course and another things of the devotion without consecuences. Turn off yours brain who understeand political corectnes! Did you ever imagine a WinSPWW2 as a "holy" thing of Neonazi cult?

[JohnT]

I can not see any real problem with Germany takes the problem with neo nazis seriously. Any slight excess of enforcing the law denying swastikas are better than the excesses of Bergen-Belsen.

And Yes, the Swastika is just a symbol, until the day someone carves one on your front door.
