The Saboteur

German version

There are a number of changes in the German version: * All swastikas were removed or replaced with iron crosses * All SS runes were replaced with straight lines * Some words associated with the Nazi regime, e.g. Nazis or Gestapo, are not used * During one cutscene, parts of a Hitler speech was used in the background. This was removed; in the German version there is only music.
