MODERATORS
You know there are WW2 games that have mods that do exactly this, right? Specifically because they don't use Nazi imagery to refer to Nazi Germany because that imagery is illegal in Germany so they use substitute imagery that's Germany-safe to represent Nazi Germany, because that's cheaper than managing two editions where one is historically accurate and the other is Germany-friendly. For an example of this, see Hearts of Iron.
Then you get mods that restore the historically correct imagery.
Lol I feel like you're just proving my point. The question isn't whether these mods exist. Of course they do. But an entire country has made such symbolism illegal specifically because its a bad part of their past and they find it offensive. They're within their right to do so and so is Nexus Mods. Nexus Mods are allowed to remove whatever content they find offensive to cultivate the community that they want.
