yeah i know...i live here and they think that if you don't talk about it, then it's never happend

That is so untrue its laughable. From an early age onward you get constantly bombarded with the evils of the NS regime and World War 2. There are documentations about Nazi Germany and the holocaust on TV pretty much every week.
NO country in the world has dealt with its terrible past that extensively as Germany has.

how come germany gets offended by a historical symbol then ? in a game where you kill nazis , why shouldnt they have svastikas on their uniforms so you know you kill nazis

How come you can't play a game without a racist symbol of genocide plastered everywhere? No one needs to be reminded of the Nazis.

Because video games are classified as entertainment and not art with cultural value like movies or books.
Nazi symbology is outlawed in Germay by the constitution. The reason why its ok to display in movies, TV and books its because those fall under "art" or "education".
Video Games are neither and so those symbols are not allowed to be displayed in them.

But as written on the last page, that view recently changed and from now on certain games may display these symbols.

The ONLY thing that was forbidden was the symbols. Bethesda could have just changed the symbol to the iron cross or similar, like other publishers did in the past.
But they decided to extensively rewrite the whole story for the German release and did not use the word Nazi in the game once.
There was NO ONE that forced them to do that, they did it by themselves.
There was MASSIVE critic of that in the German gaming press.

Again, the symbols is ALL they needed to exchange for something else.
Can you only kill Nazi if they have a swastika armband? I thought being a Nazi was more
then just wearing a certain symbol.

Wolfenstein has a geolock in Germany, that means no one is allowed to play an uncensored copy in Germany.

Its rather "no one is able" because of a geolock.
