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.
No way…what about wolfenstein??
Heavily censored in Germany apparently, which kinda seems odd and protective of Nazis
Yeah they have a blanket ban on Nazi iconography with no carve outs for art, even if antifascist.

Wonder if that’s harmful in the long run, cause you’re not allowed to make the bad guys look like what they were, bad guys.
Whaaa Don’t you remember the scene where they said nazi made things better? /s https://youtu.be/3tJRVRx66GI?sT6VlEsv8uESpiuK
