No Swastikas	comment	Many a World War IIâ€“based game will not use a swastika (Hakenkreuz) to symbolise the Nazis, instead using the Iron Cross (still a symbol of today's German Army, Bundeswehr, albeit a modified version), the red-white-black tricolor of the 1871â€“1918 German Empire (which was briefly re-used by the Nazi regime alongside the Hakenkreuz flag from 1933 to 1935), or alternatively the Balkenkreuz (pictured at right). There's a simple reason for this — in Germany, Russia, and some other countries, the display of anything Nazi-related in public is prohibited unless it's for educational, artistic, or scientific purposes, plus a lot of other contexts. This allows for the use of these symbols in World War IIâ€“set films (which are considered art — yes, even Indiana Jones). However, toys and games were not usually covered by these exceptions (at least in Germany) until August 2018, when the German video game rating bureau USK decided to allow swastikas in video games on a case-by-case basis provided they were "socially adequate", meaning they have to serve an artistic purpose (such as in Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus) or be used to represent historical events. Also, neo-Fascists have been known to appropriate various other symbols for their own ends, usually pagan ones. German Neo-Nazi groups choose to use symbols of Imperial Germany instead, which highly annoys German monarchist groups. The USK also refused to rate video games which use swastikas in their non-historical context, meaning that a swastika had to be an explicit reference to the National Socialist German Workers party and any other references that is attributed to the swastika (such as a Buddhist symbol for good luck, a fictional villain or cartoonish Nazis) were not allowed. Consequently, Nazi symbols are still not used in games released in Germany, probably due to developers worldwide being so accustomed to being unable to put them in the games, and thus voluntarily continuing the tradition of an utter lack of Nazi symbols themselves. It saves money to have only one version, avoids losing a market with over 80 million residents, and if the game is online, it makes sure that the German version is compatible with that of the rest of the world. It is odd that video games do this, as Germany is a relatively poor market for war-based games to begin with, especially compared to the United States, Russia, and the United Kingdom. The only markets that prefer niche Japanese games at all times (like Japan and France) and places where the video game market is small. That being said, really mainstream FPS titles (like Call of Duty) do fare well and still sell in the millions. The German video game market is also only the biggest market for simulator titles and city building games. These are all genres where a swastika has no real reason to appear or exist besides for humorous purposes. So most of what makes Germany's thriving video game scene has almost no real reason to use World War II symbolism. However, practically no one in English-speaking cultures knows this. Thus this trope, which often leads to censorship of swastikas in contexts that have nothing to do with the Nazis. Not only were the Nazis, well, Nazis, they were also plagiarists (unless they were time travelers). When people in English-speaking countries hear that there are No Swastikas because of German censorship, this may lead to Unfortunate Implications, as it is tempting to conclude that "the Germans are trying to push revisionist history and pretend the Nazis were never in power!"; and it's not only them, even modern Germans may offer this suggestion as the reason for excessive No Swastikas trope use. The official explanation is, of course, the absolute non-endorsement of the symbol, which even got a politician in trouble when she used the symbol in a context of anti-Nazism (to elaborate, a fist crushing it), but for this kind of use, the symbol is alright after the German equivalent of the Supreme Court changed things for such cases. (For the record, conspiracy theories denying The Holocaust are also illegal in Germany.) That said, the older tradition about Buddhist and Hinduist swastikas, used as a protective symbol, can sometimes be found in supernatural series like Kolchak: The Night Stalker and The X-Files. There was even a real life instance during the Rape of Nanjing when the German businessman (he worked for Siemens, and was also a Nazi Party Member) John Rabe set up a protected area for refugees from the Japanese terror under the German flag, with its big swastika. Thus, for thousands of Chinese, even the Nazi swastika returned to its Hindu meaning. Technically, the relevant law in Germany prohibits "anti-constitutional" symbols (movements openly seeking the overthrow of Germany's democratic system), not just far-right ones. The West German government initially deemed the flag of East Germany to be a criminal symbol and outlawed it, before lifting the ban in 1969 with the normalization of relations with their East German counterparts. To this day, the flag of the former Communist Party of Germany (KPD) is banned, although the hammer and sickle is not. Many countries have similar bans on the display of "totalitarian symbols" â€” Hungary, for instance, bans the display of the symbols of the Nazis, the Soviets, and the Arrow Cross Party. Lithuania passed a similar law in 2008 â€” also extending it to Soviet symbols. And Latvia was warned in 2006 not to put swastikas â€” an ancient propitious symbol for them, too â€” on gifts intended for NATO ambassadors. After all, the Germans wouldn't have been able to take them back home... There is one particularly annoying case with the swastika when it is used as a Buddhist symbol of peace. It's shaped like a straightened Swastika, but may be mirrored compared to the Nazi swastika (clockwise or counterclockwise vs. the Nazi swastika's invariably clockwise), which leads to confusion in Western countries, as well as the Moral Guardians running around like headless chickens whenever one appears. As the export market has become increasingly important for Japanese creators of anime and manga, and despite the fact that swastikas are okay in Japan due to their original Buddhist significance, many creators are nonetheless preemptively avoiding swastikas in order to make their works easier to export.note The swastika symbol is an actual character in both the Japanese and Chinese written languages, with a character for both the original and a mirrored version. It's called "manji" and "wanzi" respectively. Examples include Naruto, where the swastika on Neji's forehead was changed to an X, and One Piece, where Whitebeard's logo was changed from a swastika to a cross. While it may seem like these changes were Bowdlerization by foreign localizers, these changes were actually mandated by Japanese executives, presumably so that foreign localizers wouldn't have to go through the trouble of doing the Bowdlerization themselves. Contrast with Non-Nazi Swastika. Examples

No Swastikas / int_17fa5f0a	comment	In-universe example: in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, at Bill and Fleur's wedding early in the book, Viktor Krum nearly attacks Xenophilus Lovegood because the latter is wearing an amulet in the shape of the Deathly Hallows symbol. To Lovegood this just symbolizes the Deathly Hallows and the search for them, but to Krum and everyone else who's a recent alumnus of Durmstrang, it has come to be associated with Gellert Grindelwald and his reign of evil. It is interesting to note the year of Grindelwald's defeat by Dumbledore (1945) was the same year as Hitler's death — and this was intentional on the part of J.K. Rowling. Whether this was merely to show Grindelwald as the wizarding world's equivalent to Hitler, or to indicate an actual alliance between Hitler and Grindelwald, is unclear.

The brother who survives the bombing ends up being memory-wiped and body-swapped into the main character, so it would be particularly troublesome to have pictures of him wearing them. For the record, he probably wasn't too aware of what was going on around him, and what his superiors would have done with his magic device had he completed his work on it for them.

(Nazi Germany's desire to annex Austria is why they ironically, despite being fascist, were fervently anti-Nazi.) Why this retelling of the Bluebeard legend was given such a Setting Update is anybody's guess. That being said, outside the insignia, Bluebeard and his group seems to try to look more like the Nazis, since their standard resembles the Nazi flag more than the Fatherland Front's actual flag◊.

No Swastikas / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach: The quillon of Ichigo's sword is swastika-shaped. In keeping with the Buddhist symbolism for harmony of spirit, Ichigo's journey through the manga has been one of seeking balance and harmony with three different aspects of his soul. For much of the manga, this quillon only appears when he activates Bankai. This is almost a pun as the kanji for "ban" in Bankai means "complete" or "final". While Bankai is the "Final Release" of a Zanpakutou, an alternate reading is "Final Solution". In the Lost Agent Arc, when Ichigo's power develops the shape of his sword's quillon, the anime changes the shape slightly to a square despite retaining the true shape on the sword itself. The Quincies have always had extremely strong Teutonic Knight themes. When they modernise, their Teutonic Knight themes morph into Nazi themes that also possess very heavy Imperial Germany overtones. This creates a military uniform that is extremely similar to the Nazi uniform and an organisational hierarchy that is inspired more by the German Empire than Nazi Germany. The new Quincy Cross is influenced by the Iron Cross, not the swastika. So far, despite the Nazi themes of the Vandenreich, the swastika itself has barely been associated with them and predominantly remains Ichigo's symbol. Ichigo is later revealed to be half-Quincy via his mother and his power, which manifested the Swastika symbol, was actually his Quincy power masquerading as Shinigami power. When his true Shinigami power and Quincy power are properly balanced, the Swastika disappears.

Not only are swastikas replaced with other symbols in that game such as the weird-looking triangle, but they have changed practically everything else as well, to such an extent that it borders on intentionally trolling the users of the German version (i.e. including things that were legal even according to German laws).

Savage's later appearance in "Maid of Honor" has no problem referring to him as a "Nazi war criminal". It's worth noting, though, that the insignia he uses is the SS insignia (half of it, at least), Hitler's elite guard, and it actually makes sense in the context of the story: an ancient symbol that arose individually in almost every basket-weaving culture and which just happened to be used in the flag of a fascist nation? BAD! A symbol for a group of soldiers from said nation who were primarily responsible for the Holocaust? A-OK! More specifically, the Sowilo rune is used, which was a common Nazi symbol (as its German meaning, "sigel", was a symbol of victory).

No Swastikas / int_393ab0d2	comment	In the adventure game adaptation of I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream, we learn that Nimdok was a scientist working for the Nazis during World War II. His scenario takes place in a concentration camp, but all the swastikas are changed to a stylized "AM" logo (AM being the name of the psychotic Deus est Machina Master Computer who's created the cruel scenario). Somewhat justified in that all of it seems purposely censored by Nimdok's guilt-ridden mind—the words "Nazis" and "Jewish" are conspicuously avoided (they're only referred to as "The Regime" and "The Lost Tribe") until he remembers his past. This didn't stop them from entirely removing Nimdok's chapter from the German release, though, which made the game almost unwinnable.

The only thing that remains is the layout of both levels.

No Swastikas / int_56fa0ea4	comment	Civilization: In Civilization IV: Beyond The Sword, Franz von Papen is the leader of Germany in the European Blitzkrieg scenario, and Isoroku Yamamoto is the leader of Japan in the Pacific one. This is in spite of the fact the game allows players to play as Chairman Mao or Stalin. There are mods that allow you to play as Hitler and Hirohito. Which, of course, made Germans complain that they couldn't play it in public. The exclusion of Hitler and the inclusion of Stalin and Mao (among other equally unpleasant historical leaders who are included without complaint), a somewhat contentious topic among fans, is typically explained with the objective observations that A) Hitler was a rather asshole leader, and, while Stalin and Mao left their nations as super-powers, he left his a smoking ruin and B) even if Hitler's incompetence is ignored, he is far from the first candidate for inclusion. However, the fandom is united in their criticism of his absence in mods of the appropriate era. The North Africa Campaign map that was bundled with the original release got around this problem by having the civilizations "led" by the various actual North African theater commanders - meaning, yes, Rommel for the Germans. They still had to go with the Iron Cross as an emblem, though. Civilization V tried to clean it up somewhat by digging deeper into history, with Otto Von Bismarck leading Germany, Catherine the Great leading Russia, and Wu Zetian leading China.

The rerelease of the game still has Hitler present, but gives him big sunglasses and only ever has him referred to as "The Fuhrer." This was averted in the original release, where swastikas and an eyewear-lacking named-aloud Hitler could be seen clear as day.

No Swastikas / int_62126ef1	comment	The writers of The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes decided to create an alternate timeline with HYDRA as an enemy of the Allies during WWII, assisted by villains traditionally associated with Nazis. Word of God stated that this was the result of an ultimatum from Standards and Practices: they could have swastikas or realistic weapons and they chose the latter. The head writer also tried to justify the change here by saying HYDRA served as merely a branch of the Nazis. In the episode "Meet Captain America", the Red Skull's SS uniform suggests the Nazis existed in this universe, but the opening newsreel only shows HYDRA taking over Europe. (As a result, viewers who have not read these Word of God statements tend to assume this series disregarded the existence of Nazis altogether. It doesn't help that the map depicting HYDRA's conquest of Europe shows them steam-rolling out of Russia to conquer all of Europe, Germany included.) Unfortunately, the fact that HYDRA is still pretty powerful in the present suggests the Allies failed to eliminate the threat of another Axis takeover.

The resulting weeks-long bans or accounts deletion pissed off posters and group owners who were involved in non-revisionist/non-Neonazi groups about history (including Holocaust history) that got cleansed of the symbol. The phenomenon has also been observed with photos of Adolf Hitler himself. It also extends to Facebook pages used by military modellers, who tend not to be political at all. Keen modellers of Lutfwaffe aircraft are often politely requested to leave the tailplane bare if they're publishing photos, or else to blur out the distinguishing swastika insignia from the tail.

A common theory is that this is a large part of the reason why Marvel had him explicitly betray Hitler and the Third Reich in the film; there'd be less backlash from the Moral Guardians over selling toys and apparel featuring the Red Skull if he belonged to a fictional evil organization instead of a very real one like the Nazi Party. It sometimes leads to odd compromises, like the Marvel Famous Covers figure from ToyBiz, the Silver Age statue from Bowen Designs or the bust from Gentle Giant, all of which featured the character wearing a blank red arm band with no actual logo.

In 1938 feature film The Four Companions, a German romantic comedy set in Berlin, there is not a swastika to be seen anywhere, not on the streets and not on any uniforms. While the Nazis did produce overt propaganda films, some of which were truly horrific, much of German cinema in those days was light escapism. So a film like The Four Companions which was designed to keep German moviegoers happy and quiescent avoids political symbolism.

No Swastikas / int_74b796a7	comment	Godzilla Raids Again: The nightclub scene includes stock footage of an actual Japanese stage show. This would be fine as far as it goes... except that the performance was very painfully obviously taken from pre-1945 propaganda footage, complete with draped Imperial Japanese, Fascist Italian and Nazi German flags. This predictably causes problems for most everybody who wants to release or air the film today. Most times, they superimpose a black or grey disc over the swastika and call it good... which invariably fails as the disc is stationary while the film has the traditional jitter.

No Swastikas / int_755997ac	comment	Doom: A map area in the original Doom was originally a swastika as a homage to Wolfenstein 3-D — this was changed in v1.4. In Doom II: The two secret levels are absent in the German version, as they are literally updated ports of two Wolfenstein 3-D levels, swastika-banners and all. Doom Classic Complete (as can be downloaded on the PS3) and the BFG Edition (available multiplatform) include the two secret levels, but with some major changes: Everything reminiscent of Wolfenstein 3D has been completely purged, all enemies have been replaced with standard Doom II opponents, and the levels themselves have been renamed ("Wolfenstein" to "IDKFA" and "Grosse" to "Keen"). The only thing that remains is the layout of both levels. No Swastikas nor Hitler portraits, the SS guards are replaced by zombiemen squads, and the unique map music themes have been replaced by the theme of MAP05 for both maps The GBA version censors the two secret levels but in a much tamer way, replacing Swastikas and images of Hitler with imagery from Return to Castle Wolfenstein (such as the Hitler portrait now being series Big Bad Deathshead). The SS Guards were untouched, German dialogue and all. The Unity engine port restores the original textures and level names, but replaces swastikas with the alternate triangular-shaped symbol seen in the newer Wolfenstein games, changes Hitler's face to not have a moustache (essentially turning him into the Staatmeister from the SNES Wolfenstein) and redubs the SS enemies to say "SchutzkÃ¤mpfer!" instead of "Schutzstaffel!".

No Swastikas / int_75e9b784	comment	Somewhat odd case from Dies Irae. Before the formation of the Longinus Dreizehn Orden, none of the Nazi characters are shown with swastikas on their uniforms despite having the signature red armband. After the Orden's formation they have its sigil on the armbands instead. This becomes even clearer in the anime adaptation which has a scene with the distinct red banners present at a political party, yet they are adorned with the Iron Cross instead of the Hakenkreuz. What makes all of this odd is the fact that a Swastika forms a core plot element of the story, being a huge magical ceremony meant to be in its shape and is seen in full.

While it doesn't use a swastika in the WWII themed area, it uses a Death's Head, or "Totenkoph" on the nazi flag (although it's A) just the skull, not skull-and-crossbones, B) far more stylized then the symbol on SS cap badges, and C) seen straight instead of 3/4 view). Of course, it's stated to be because a neo-Nazi group went back in time to give the original nazis modern technology, so it very well might be the symbol they used In-Universe.

However, the coloring of the Colonel Vogel minifigure seems to suggest a Nazi eagle and all soldiers have blonde eyebrows and blue eyes instead of the standard black/brown eyebrows and black eyes every other character has. In the level "Opening the Ark" there are several red flags hanging around that are obviously Third Reich flags, sans swastika; without said symbol, they do look rather odd, almost like a large red rug with black stripes hanging up to dry. The German version of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, is heavily bowdlerized, with swastikas replaced by black squares and blank circles. There is a recurring omission, probably an overlook; when a guard is knocked out during a fist fight, stars in swastika form do appear over his head. In contrast with Indy's previous adventure, there is almost zero Nazi imagery in Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, and the flag shown inside a German submarine uses the Iron Cross. This trope factored into the cancellation of Indiana Jones and the Iron Phoenix. Intended as a follow-up to the Fate of Atlantis, LucasArts realized a game with a plot about a post-war attempt to resurrect Hitler might not fly in the German market. Perhaps not coincidentally, this was around the time series director Steven Spielberg was making Schindler's List, an experience which opened his eyes for the first time to the gravity of what the Nazis did, making him swear off any future use of the Nazis as exploitation villains like he'd done in the initial films.

No Swastikas / int_8beaa94b	comment	And of course, that's before we get into how later productions, primarily Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory and Gundam 0080, push the "Zeon = Nazis" thing to great lengths with uniforms and flags that are explicitly modeled on Nazi regalia (the only change being the Zeon emblem replacing the swastika). And then you recall how as of late, more and more Gundam stories paint Zeon as brave rebel heroes... What is funny is that the ideology of Zeon is called "Zeonism" and has been interpreted both with Hitler's "Master Race" and Zionist "Chosen People"-angles throughout the series, depending on whether Zeon is painted as sympathetic or not. It's also "funny" that the name "Zeon" was apparently taken by Tomino from the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Patterns of Force" — that's right, the one with the Nazis. Except... he accidentally borrowed the wrong name. The Zeons were the analogy for the Jews, with another group, the Ekosians, actually being the Nazis...

This is the reason why a few Jewish groups thought that PokÃ©mon was anti-Semitic, according to The Other Wiki. On the other side of the coin, the Islamic authorities in Saudi Arabia noticed that one of the energy symbols (a six-pointed star) vaguely resembled the Star of David, declared the game to contain subliminal Zionist propaganda and banned it.

No Swastikas / int_989298d3	comment	In World of Tanks, the flag for Germany tanks in the garage is a red flag with black stripes, however the swastika is replaced by the Iron Cross. The game comes from Belarus, where swastikas are also very taboo. The German tank line also includes a few post-WW2 tanks, where swastikas would be completely inappropriate to begin with. The game's naval companion, World of Warships, takes this a step further by replacing the German Imperial flagnote This game features many vehicles from WWI unlike Tanks, mostly due to the vastly longer service life of ships compared to tanks with the one described above. This is because said flag is often used by neo-Nazis as a substitute for the Nazi flag, as the populace at large doesn't recognize it. Plus, consistency. German ships that were built during the Nazi government fly a variation of the Kriegsmarine ensign, with the swastika replaced by a Tantzenkreuz. The two games also use the modern Japanese flag rather than the Imperial rising sun flag which has similar connotations in East Asia to the Swastika in Europe.

In the level "Opening the Ark" there are several red flags hanging around that are obviously Third Reich flags, sans swastika; without said symbol, they do look rather odd, almost like a large red rug with black stripes hanging up to dry.

No Swastikas / int_b2ac85fc	comment	In the IL-2 Sturmovik combat flight sim series, the German planes never carry the black swastika and the Finnish planes do not carry the historical Von Rosen cross, a light blue swastika on a white circle. This, despite the fact that the adoption of the Von Rosen cross predates the adoption of the swastika by the NSDAP by several years, and in any case was done to honor the Swedish count Erik Von Rosen, who had donated planes to Finland during their civil war. Soviet planes in the same game still carry the red star, which of course has unsavory connotations for many Westerners not part of left-wing organizations. In the real world, the Russian military still use the red star, despite the Soviet Union having been gone for 20 years, although the version now carried by the Russian Air Force, at least, is a red star outlined in white and blue, thus including the three colors of the Russian Federations's flag.

Most notable inclusion is in the "Giant" zombie map, which featured prominent nazi symbolism(Taking place in a nazi Wonder Weapon Research Facility). Now, the facility(Taking place after october of 1945) is littered with red flags with iron crosses and the iconic nazi zombies bear meaningless, plain red armbands in place of swatikas, putting a bad taste in the mouths of countless fans who remembered the iconic look of the map, and taking the "Nazi" away from the fan favorite Nazi Zombie map of the fandom. The German version of Call of Duty: WWII lacks swastikas as well, and the multiplayer on all versions replaces the swastikas with the Iron Cross so Germans can play with the rest of the international community.

Turns out she's a Nazi-themed BDSM fetishist, wearing stylized bondage stuff, using a German expletive and permanent-marker inking a Hitler-stache on Alan's face, obviously all without the pretense of hiding the reference (Alan even comments on the core aspect of this trope, saying that the mustache itself doesn't look bad, "shame one guy had to ruin it for everybody"). But then the network had to pull this off, by digitally covering a swastika in the girl's armband with a (badly-drawn) Hitler-stache'd smiley face. The writer was clearly pissed, later venting off about this trope in one of his vanity plates.

One example: the third issue of Fury: Peacemaker, a Marvel Comics series set in World War II, features a Nazi officer on the cover. His outfit is drawn to be historically accurate, which means it includes a swastika on his hat. Rather than change the art, Marvel strategically placed the book's logo so it covered up the swastika. You can see the untouched artwork in the collected edition of the series.

No Swastikas / int_c7aa3c5c	comment	In Doom II: The two secret levels are absent in the German version, as they are literally updated ports of two Wolfenstein 3-D levels, swastika-banners and all. Doom Classic Complete (as can be downloaded on the PS3) and the BFG Edition (available multiplatform) include the two secret levels, but with some major changes: Everything reminiscent of Wolfenstein 3D has been completely purged, all enemies have been replaced with standard Doom II opponents, and the levels themselves have been renamed ("Wolfenstein" to "IDKFA" and "Grosse" to "Keen"). The only thing that remains is the layout of both levels. No Swastikas nor Hitler portraits, the SS guards are replaced by zombiemen squads, and the unique map music themes have been replaced by the theme of MAP05 for both maps The GBA version censors the two secret levels but in a much tamer way, replacing Swastikas and images of Hitler with imagery from Return to Castle Wolfenstein (such as the Hitler portrait now being series Big Bad Deathshead). The SS Guards were untouched, German dialogue and all. The Unity engine port restores the original textures and level names, but replaces swastikas with the alternate triangular-shaped symbol seen in the newer Wolfenstein games, changes Hitler's face to not have a moustache (essentially turning him into the Staatmeister from the SNES Wolfenstein) and redubs the SS enemies to say "SchutzkÃ¤mpfer!" instead of "Schutzstaffel!".

No Swastikas / int_e89f120b	comment	In Mobile Suit Gundam the cries of "Sieg Zeon!" at the state funeral of Garma Zabi and at all other points were changed to "Hail Zeon!" for the English language version. This may have been somewhat more effective if the Zabis weren't so blatantly Nazis IN SPACE!. Ginias Sahalin in the English dub of the 08th MS Team also uses "Sieg Zeon!" as a rallying cry, at least in the uncut dub. The Nazi motto Sieg Heil literally means "hail to victory". Sieg Zeon just means "victory Zeon", which makes no sense except as Gratuitous German for "Victory to Zeon". It was modified into something more grammatically correct and sensible for the English dub. Related is a scene late in the original series, where Gihren Zabi is compared to Hitler by his own father, and subsequently turns it into Insult Backfire; the Toonami broadcast had them discuss fascism instead, though the uncut dub retained the original dialouge. And of course, that's before we get into how later productions, primarily Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory and Gundam 0080, push the "Zeon = Nazis" thing to great lengths with uniforms and flags that are explicitly modeled on Nazi regalia (the only change being the Zeon emblem replacing the swastika). And then you recall how as of late, more and more Gundam stories paint Zeon as brave rebel heroes... What is funny is that the ideology of Zeon is called "Zeonism" and has been interpreted both with Hitler's "Master Race" and Zionist "Chosen People"-angles throughout the series, depending on whether Zeon is painted as sympathetic or not. It's also "funny" that the name "Zeon" was apparently taken by Tomino from the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Patterns of Force" — that's right, the one with the Nazis. Except... he accidentally borrowed the wrong name. The Zeons were the analogy for the Jews, with another group, the Ekosians, actually being the Nazis...

No Swastikas / int_e936047a	comment	In the episode of Hey Arnold! featuring Grandpa's war story, the German soldiers had scowling face insignias instead of swastikas. Quite funny, considering how they were allowed to show Hitler himself. Probably helped that Hitler was shown being noogied and wedgied by a younger Grandpa Phil.

No Swastikas / int_ebfefbc1	comment	There were Bowdlerised versions for the PC made specifically for Germans, who could then download a patch to revert the game to its original form. Its Game Within a Game parody from The New Colossus, Wolfstone 3D, plays it straight, with all references to Nazis, Hitler, and swastikas replaced with the Kreisau Circle and its symbols and members, including B.J. Blazkowicz. And it's not just that, but some rooms shaped like swastikas in certain episodes and floors had to be redesigned. Two examples are Episode 2, Floor 5 (where the floor is redesigned not to look like a swastika), and Episode 6, Floor 3 (where the entire multi-swastika floor is redesigned to look like a Kreisau college or university).

No Swastikas / int_ee77a8e2	comment	In the original serialization of Kaiju Girl Caramelise, Rairi's makeup bag had an image of a manji on the front, referencing the slang phrase "maji manji" popular among teenagers. This was changed to the text "Maji Manji" in stylized English for the official Japanese volume releases.

No Swastikas / int_f8956ef3	comment	In YuYu Hakusho, one of the contenders in Genkai's tournament has a swastika tattoo on his forehead. Naturally, it was edited from the Toonami airing on Cartoon Network. The Abridged Series lampshades it during his fight; Yusuke calls him a Nazi then his opponent corrects him by saying it's a Buddhist mark (which the swastika was, until Hitler warped it into the symbol of hatred and evil most of the Western world knows it as today). The manga version keeps it, but drops a long footnote explaining how it is most certainly not a Swastika in the first panel in which he appeared.

No Swastikas / int_fa3976bb	comment	The German version of the 2009 Wolfenstein was heavily censored in Germany because of violence and swastikas, but oddly enough the censors forgot a small swastika from a note in a hospital in the game, that survived into the German version. After the website schnittberichte.com that likes to point out censors of all kinds in German media, jokingly pointed this out, Activison immediately called to return every copy of the game because of a "not outstanding element" to convert all copies.

No Swastikas / int_fa5e90fd	comment	City of Heroes: Hitler's name is automatically censored by the profanity filter (mind you, it's easy to turn off said filter altogether). Said profanity filter is lifted wholesale from other games by the same publisher, so this may not be that special. The overthrow of the Fifth Column by the Council has been accused of being a retcon (for history's sake, read more here). The dev position was that it was part of the Myth Arc and now the Column's coming back, for real, good, and sure, with a character named Reichsman taking a leading role. Really Seriously. We can stop the debate now. Though there are still no swastikas, the 5th's logo is a V with a stylized skull over top of it.

No Swastikas / int_fcacaa36	comment	Both averted and played straight regarding the Amazon series The Man in the High Castle. Since Nazis rule (half of) the United States following a German victory in World War II, swastikas are everywhere. They're on posters, on party member's armbands (modified with red and white stripes, since these are American Nazis), and even on the American flag (the stars are replaced with a big swastika). The advertising, on the other hand, plays the trope straight. The swastikas is nowhere to be seen. Even the aforementioned Nazi-American flag is modified with a Nazi eagle clutching an iron cross, instead of the single big swastika. The modified imagery still caused an uproar when it was plastered all over New York City subways.
