"where references to Nazis and swastikas were not allowed in video games at the time" edit

It was never illegal in Germany to have "references to Nazis" in media. Swastikas could've been interpreted as "use of symbols of anti-Constitutional organizations" (which was and still is illegal outside documentation and the arts), which is why many games depicting Nazis were replacing the swastika with a different symbol (or removed it altogether).

Since the claim is unsourced, I suspect it may refer to such games not getting the required FSK rating and thus would not have been allowed to be promoted or publically offered, but without a source, it's still dubious.
