Wonder if that’s harmful in the long run, cause you’re not allowed to make the bad guys look like what they were, bad guys.
Yeah they have a blanket ban on Nazi iconography with no carve outs for art, even if antifascist.

They changed it but you could always just have them as definitely-not-Nazis.

That statement is not true and it never was.

Almost correct, but artistic depictions of Nazi actually are exempt from the ban (falling under “Kunstfreiheit” - artistic freedom).
The reason why Wolfenstein still had to be censored was because video games were not really seen as a form of art for quite a long time. But AFAIK that has fortunately changed in the last years and you can now legally obtain uncensored Wolfenstein versions in Germany.
