why did you bring up death camps?, why would i ever go to one, its a question asking if Paradox ever mentioned why they didn't put in the Historical flag.
Note that Death Camps and Gulags are historical too.

People should not be too histerical with small details not being too historical as such flags.

Visiting one of these death camps it's good to PURIFY YOUR SOUL. And to OPEN EYES to what really matters...

Finally, this is only a fuc... game, not needed such level of precission in certain subjects as flags, runes or deatchcamps or holocaust (as someone asked for it...).

But you have lots of MODs with such flags, search for them and don't forget to open your eyes to avoid to miss some nice flag. The next thing people will ask is that others chew on their own food. Jesus Christ...

If I may ponder a guess on the matter. I'd say that, from what I know, most of the german military used the flag shown in-game or some variation of it. From what I've seen that is the German battle standard. I admit that I could be wrong, but that's why they call it an opinion .

You are NOT too wrong. Paradox used a very similar flag, but moving the balkenkreuz from the top left corner, and using it instead of the hakenkreuz rotated 45 degree. Well done Paradox.

Some people may be extremely fussy to say that this fact ruins the game experience (not talking about OP). It would be great if them being as much effective in their studies or work.

But again... for those being extremely fussy there are tons of MODs to save your day.
(Obnoxious to be so...)

It's extremely easy to change any flag in the game to whatever you want. All you need is a program that can edit .tga files. Simply edit the ...\steamapps\common\Hearts of Iron IV\gfx\flags\<flag you want to change.tga> -file.

The Swastika flag is illegal in many countries, the hammer and sickle is not.

With that I'll lock this thread as it's derailing to not be about computer games at all. There are plenty of other places on the Internet to discuss politics.

Thank you!
