Computer and video games can include swastikas and other Nazi symbols, a German industry body said, after a heated debate over the Wolfenstein franchise in which gamers battle Third Reich forces.
The game was previously deemed to have fallen foul of the German criminal code, which bars any depiction of so-called "anti-constitutional" symbols, including Nazi swastikas. Accordingly in Wolfenstein II, images of Adolf Hitler were doctored to remove his moustache and the swastika in the Nazi flag was replaced with a triangular symbol.
