Here's How Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus Is Censored in Germany
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus involves some pretty sensitive subject matter to say the very [...]
Hitler Has a New Look
One of the most notable changes that you'll see in the German version of Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is that the Swastikas are nowhere to be found. Using a Swastika or similar imagery in Germany is a no-go except for certain historical or artistic situations, one of the tricky areas mentioned previously that likely played a hand in the removal of the symbol.
However, it also appears as though Hitler's received a new look as well. He looks almost identical to the uncensored version expect for the absence of his short, infamous mustache. You can jump ahead to around 2:15 in the video above to see the differences.
The characters in the cut scene also refer to Hitler by a different title, though you may not be able to tell without the subtitles. Instead of referring to him as Mein Fuhrer, they instead substitute that phrase for the German equivalent of "chancellor" while also avoiding the his real name. Instead of calling the actor a Jew, he also refers to him simply as a traitor.
