    Does anybody know if this is the case? In civ4 you could buy it in Germany, and play it in English.

    It was important to ruin the historical accuracy of the WW2 scenario so a few dozen people could buy it in Germany. German government: big crybabies or biggest crybabies?

    Off topic, yes.

    ^ If you were referring to how Civ 4 lacked Hitler as the leader in the Beyond the Sword WW2 mod "Road to War" (Think they used "Chancellor von Papen") FWIW, you can download an updated version with Hitler it it:

    Yes, I have that version - significantly superior and it should have been included with the game. I've also corresponded with its creator who I've found to be an insufferable moron for unrelated reasons.

    Anyway, if Germans want to pretend the Third Reich never existed that's fine, gamers in reasonable countries shouldn't have to suffer for it.
