    Almost correct, but artistic depictions of Nazi iconography 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.
