Its strange because games like CoD WaW has Nazi's in it yet nothing is said (or was it, I dont know tbh)

German games are not the same as we play it, just when it comes to WWII. So Medal of Honor, Call of Duty and others. They all have no Nazi material

Really? Wow, thats crazy, but you can see their point....it cant be nice being basically 'slagged off' in a game :eek:

Now Activision has a reason why it's now selling :laugh:

I have to say though I have really enjoyed the game so far.

Germany feels a deep shame for the Nazi holocaust is normal that they do not want no absolute reference.

O.T

Today I saw the movie operation Valkyria only if the bomb had been more powerful ...

I've been meaning to watch that but my girlfriend doesn't want to and when she isn't there I have time to play a game. Oh, to be single again!

Its not normal. its absolutely fkn ridiculous. My girlfriend is German and so I am by now very used to the German character trait of forcefully repressing matters or issues that they dont feel good about looking at or dealing with. The German response to all things 'Nazi' is just another example of this trait.

I watched recently Monty Pythons 'Holy Grail' in german recently and was astounded that the German dubbed version is called 'Der Ritter des Kokosnusses'. The Knights of the Coconut!

I am like, eh? wot the fuck? But then I realised, Himmler and his SS were absolutely bonkers about being the 'Teutonic Knights' on the hunt for the 'Holy Grail' of pure Aryan blood.

Another example is from the Wolfenstein German Language patch I installed whereby the Nazi's are called the 'Wolves' throughout the game instead of, you guessed it, 'The Nazi's'.

On a subject away from WW2 and/or Nazism, if my girlfriend asks me for example how I feel about some banal matter or another, and my answer is not to her liking, she will fall out with me over it, suggesting that I ought not voice such opinions if I know they may make her feel uncomfortable about something she would rather feel no problems with.

What sort of way is this to deal with anything in life? I would wager that it is such cultural tension and repression of the individual that led the Germans to being such an explosive uptight bunch of bstrds in the first place that facilitated Germany's nationalism to take an extreme form in way unseen in any other nation (except Japan, but same theory applies there as well *10).

No, its a tragic pile of lame $hite.

No spoilers but:

Good guy Germans = American Accents
Good Guy but Cowardly Germans = English accents.
and, you guessed it
Evil Dastardly Fanantical Nazi Germans = Camp Hollywood German Accents.

The film really is that bad.

I cannot believe this! If they pull an item for a swastika on the cover... what kind of world do we live in? Freedom of speech? O wait maybe not in Germany... This is like Harry Potter where everyone is scared to say Voldemort and say "he who must not be named" instead. So now when I think of Germany I will call it "the country that must not be named."

If im not mistaken Ramstein have made a song titled hitler, i doubt they could if it was 'forbidden'

HookeyStreet · Sep 23, 2009

I do feel a bit sorry for the Germans having to put up with this 'stigma'.

I know they were f*ckers during the war, but the Germans that had nothing to do with it have to live with the shame of it today

Ammugonevil · Sep 23, 2009

Every man will have to suffer for the good they didnt commit... sorry but those that did nothing were just as much to blame....

So you think the current generation of Germans should suffer for something they didnt do? That does sound harse.

I know us English will always have a 'strange' relationship with Germany.

CDdude55 · Sep 23, 2009

As stated, today's Germany doesn't what that crap coming up again. Its not surprising everytime they see a swastika they put a blanket over it and act like they didn't see nothing. Most of them don't want to acknowledge it ever even existed.
