The problem is not "killing the nazis" but 

a) Showing Nazi symbols
b) Killing people

The fact that it is the Nazis who are killed doesn't make it different
(at least from the point of view of the german authorities).  This is
simply still a result from WW2 and the terrible crimes committed by 
Nazis.  It will take at least another 50 years for Germany to learn
to deal with Nazi topics without this weird mixture from shame and denial.
(The fact that the German Luftwaffe was fighting side by side with the 
Royal Air Force in Kosovo is one of the first sings of a new way to cope 
with history)
