And what is wrong with having a picture of the enemy that we fought with decades ago as an avatar? It's not like the Germans are Satan's army (though the W-SS can appear to be). I don't see what being "civilized" has to do with a picture beside your name on message board. And most of the pictures are not actually of "Nazis", only of the German army, which unlike we are lead to believe, are NOT "Nazis". The "Nazis" are a political party, the military force related to them is the W-SS (which most of these pics are not of). It's a game, and sometimes people like to play as "the bad guys", there's nothing wrong with it, it's just having fun. Also, are you aware that your Avatar is a "Nazi" too?

I'd have to say the use of the Swastika is purely for Historical purposes. No-one here actually condones the actions of the W-SS. It's all done in the name of History. Maybe you should lighten up a little....

Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth my hands to War and my fingers to fight.

It's a GERMAN soldier, not a NAZI. I thought you were a WW2_Buff? If you look in any screenshots where the character from your Avatar is included you can see the German insignia (The eagle thing, partially hidden by the strap) on his shirt, and he's using a German bolt action rifle (which you can see in your Avatar).
