I don't think it has anything to do with WW2. it's more the ability of the germans to completely neglect common knowledge and "make" something true, even against their own scientists, reporters and people. it's very....american :)
Fuck

Gerhard Florin, one of EA's higher-ups in Germany, has recently (
http://kotaku.com/5344630/ea-germany-exec-accuses-govt-of-game-censorship) taken a stance on the country's new anti-games political initiative, calling it "censorship". I think it's safe to assume he couldn't just come out and call it "dumbfuckery", no matter how apt it might've been. Florin also calls for the adoption of PEGI standards in Germany.
In the meantime, if there are any Venezuelan TTLGers around here, they may be interested to know that their country is (
http://kotaku.com/5345620/venezuelan-politicians-trying-to-ban-violent-video-games) also preparing to break out the ol' banhammer, but not only on violent videogames, but also all "violent toys". Which, of course, illustrates the still widespread bullshit conception of throwing in videogames with toys, rather than other artistic mediums. Unsurprising, sure, though no less disappointing.
