Delivery to Germany

There are no swastikas on the cover of the CD package. The artwork is a large version of the three tanks you see at the top of the forums when the advertisment for the game appears.

There are files included with the game ( both DL and CD ) that allow players to convert the historical flag to the politically correct version . Look in the folder

WinSPWW2\Game Data\Graphics\German Cross

We have been releasing the game like this with the "alternate flags" in a separate folder since 1999 and I have never had a report from anyone in Germany having a problem with the authorities

Thank you for the answer.
That there are no swastikas on the cover is indeed good news.
Since English is not my mother tongue, does "cover" include the back?

I am already using the iron crosses, but the german authorities...

Please correct if I'm wrong, but isn't this the first version which has to pass customs?

Yes it does. There are no swastikas anywhere on the packaging

Yes and no..... SPWW2 was offered as a freebie on CD's included with a couple of European magazines in the past ( CyberStratege back in 2000 and KOMPUTER FOR ALLE in 2003 and I know for certain that they installed the historical flags as default. CyberStratege was a French magazine and KOMPUTER FOR ALLE was published in Scandinavia and although I cannot say 100% they were never shipped to Germany I find it unlikely
