>In germany it was illegal (not sure if it still is) to publish games that had nazi imaginary (such as wolfenstein).

Since that comes up from time to time...

In germany games with nazi imagery are as legal as books or movies containing nazi imagery. Legal through the art/science/research/teaching/reporting exception ยง86 StGB (3) [0]

What has recently changed is that the organization that does the age ratings for games changed its stance. Now they consider the exception rather than treating it as a show stopper.
