Is there a history class in schools where you live? Germany was never hiding from from what happened in the past. Saying otherwise is an insult and shows how ignorant you are on the topic. 

Censoring the nazi from media like games is like ireland censoring the British flag from movies and games. Absolutely ridiculous and I'm glad they've seen sense. Germany is progressing. 

It's not from media like games. It's just games. And the censoring is not done by Germany but the game developers themselves. There is a law in Germany which states where and when you are permitted to show Nazi symbolism. One huge part is for educational purposes, so no German will ever forget and never repeat. Thus, saying that Germany was hiding from its history is an insult. 

It's to make it difficult for idiots like Neo-Nazi's to glorify the cruelty that was done during that time. Even if the ban was lifted, games which will glorify Nazism will still be banned. Games like Wolfenstein will get a pass, though.
