But on the other hand, They must not be allowed to pretend that it did not happen, or erase from history, what they did. We owe more than that, to the victims, and fallen soldiers of that bloody time.
The Germany of today is a tad embarrassed of what they did, and I can understand why they would want to sweep it in under the carpet. And so it is very understandable why in Germany, it is against he law to display that flag. This is not an attempt to respect the countless souls that found their mortality in the Gas-Chambers.
It is an attempt to make us all forget.
We are not Germany. We are not bound by their self-serving laws. If the powers that be at CC really want to show proper respect, I would lobby for the side that won. Not the side that wishes to make us forget.
I would also lobby for a tag to be included on this map, that somehow explains the intended respect that CC promotes in this map.

We tore it down, stomped it with our big boot, and then pissed on it for good measure.
The countries of the world need to be reminded of this more, not less often.

This map can be a great one without the use of a Swastika. If it not having one will keep you from enjoying this map fully, you need to rethink your outlook on things.

It has already been established that the Swastika will NOT be used, so please let us drop it and get back to making this map great.
