#1 SS lightning bolts: get you attacked in the street. Hammer and sickle: you get complimented in the street. Someone want to explain that to me?

#6 This is grand, first of all because it properly equates communism with Nazism. Second of all, because when the EU tries to coerce Poland to rescind this law, the Germans will have to side with Poland, as it would force them to rescind their anti-Nazi laws.

Third, there is the EU-wide criminal extradition for national laws. Germany has already used to to arrest Holocaust deniers in other countries to face trial in Germany. Poland can now do so for communists that are offensive to Poland.

#8 "In high schools it's cool to wear Ché Guevara or the hammer and sickle. Some fashion brands even promote these symbols as part of their clothes"

And there's the problem right there, idiot.

Try living under communism for a few years (if you can call it living) and see how you like it then. Fool.

#9 I changed the unit counter for the Wehrmacht to this, the flag of the Reichswehr just before they started to use the swastika, to accommodate the censors in the EU.

Now I still have to change this and this and probably this and this?

I got a better idea: stop being fascist bastards who ban everything in sight.

#10 Perhaps your game should convert to something more appropriate?

#11 Poland just banned photos of Obama?

#12 I can understand and appreciate the sentiment, but mockery and beatings are more appropriate than banning, IMHO. Still, the Poles lived thru Communism and know it all too well. I'm not going to tell them what to do.
