German censorship

If the game is bought in Germany , portraits of high-ranking figures from the Nazi state are blackened. In addition, the victory rune and the skulls on SS uniforms were censored. These measures are no longer necessary after the USK has repealed them . Interestingly enough , these censorships are not present in the Austrian version, although a similar law restricts Nazi symbolism .
