Why Is Hitlers Face Blured ?

[T. Gold]

i dont care but was this a update or a option ?

[IIIIlllIIIII]

Games here in germany are considered as Toys - thus its strictly forbidden to put in swastikas and hitler. If games were considered as Art , especially in a historical context, things would be different.

im in america yet his face is blurred, and the swastika is swapped for the iron cross, is there an option inside of settings to turn it off?

I find it odd that the american version of the game includes Adolf Hitler and even Himmler and yet the swastika is still censored. I mean if your going to sell the game with Hitler already in there you might as well include the correct historical flag for Germany.

Bunch of great mods in this collection to uncensor the game.

The very top one is great because it also redoes a bunch of other nations flags to not be ♥♥♥♥, eg the Poland-Romania flag in the latest update.

Those laws are more than silly tbh, considering you can get some pretty serious jail time for violating them.

Ironic that they try to combat Nazi ideals by embracing censorship.

But yeah, Im sure I saw a mod fixing Hiter's mug the day after release.

This ban was lifted 4 years ago, there's a BBC article that comes up when you google the issue.

I have the american game and there are no censors that these guys are speaking off.

I suppose it was either blurr his face or change his name to Badolf Schmitler

I remember that in the German version of Hoi1 and Hoi2 Hitler's portrait was missing and his name was changed while all swastika flags were removed so that a short time after release modders would offer patches to bring the game back to normal.

1-2 years ago the original versions of the modern Wolfenstein games were rated by the German self-monitoring of entertainment software and they weren't censored or banned but got approved to be sold. (to a mature audience obviously)

It was the first time ever that a game in Germany was allowed to show swastikas and portrait prominent nazis because of artistic freedom. This is kinda ironical because the very first Wolfenstein game was the reason why showing swastikas or portraying Hitler in games got it completelly banned and never sold in Germany in the first place and therefore all future games that showed stuff like this removed it without asking.

Paradox could do the same and try to get the original version of Hoi4 allowed to be sold in Germany. There really is no reason why it should be denied because it's a historical game centered in the time of the 2nd world war.
