Nice summary Ack-Ack.  :aok

Just a slight addition.... The swastika is STILL in the president's flag:

It is also STILL present in all of the Finnish Airforce unit flags. Here is a pretty comprehensive article about the issue:

I hear that some plastic model kits now are actually removing swastika decals from Luftwaffe aircraft, and even from the killboards of kits for Allied fighters.

They've done that for years, you have to buy after market decals to make an authentic Luftwaffe model.
No swastikas in boxed models.

I think we should allow it. But this is something that HiTech doesn't want.

I don't thinks its not something that HT doesn't want, it think its against the law in some European countries.

im not sure what the policy is but web content containing swastikas is usually banned in germany and here as well depending on what.
