You're playing what is probably one of the most violent, bloody, and generally abhorrent games on the market today (I love it so :) ) and you're concerned about the presence of a swastika?  Excuse me, but get a clue.

It's probably a holdover from wolfenstein, which had nazis as the bad guys.  So chill. 

Besides, demons have taken over, so isn't an nasty symbol appropriate?  I mean, it this offends you then I shudder to think about your reaction to Inferno.

Yeah, and if the arms go the other way its a pennsylvania dutch hex symbol.  I don't remember which way the arms are supposed to go, though.

It's not that I disagree about your view of Nazis, I just think you're a little (LOT) paranoid.
