Problem identified

Solution proposed.  Solution rejected.

Alternative solution: remove the Germany Keyword.

There are better descriptions for Nazism than crudely labelling
it "German".

Everyone needs to remember.  Is the modern world any less dangerous, any
full of totatilitarian regimes and political extremists using fear to get
what they want?

This has been discussed on the Sodipodi lists several times before if you
care to look.  There is absolutely no way we will remove this flag.  We
will do our best to categorise it and represent it in an appropriate way.
