The OKW was established by decree of 4 February 1938 in the aftermath of the Blomberg-Fritsch Affair, which had led to the dismissal of the head of the Reich War Ministry and Commander-in-chief of the Armed forces ( Wehrmacht), Field marshal general Werner von Blomberg. This "divide and conquer" method helped put most military decisions in Hitler's own hands, which at times included even those affecting engagements at the battalion level. However, Hitler manipulated the system in order to prevent any one command from taking a dominant role in decision making. By 1942, OKW had responsibility for all theatres except for the Eastern Front against the Soviet Union. During the war, the OKW, subordinate to Adolf Hitler as Supreme Commander of the Wehrmacht, acquired more and more operational powers. It did help coordinate operations between the three services. Rivalry with the armed services branch commands, mainly with the Army High Command (the OKH), prevented the OKW from becoming a unified German General Staff in an effective chain of command. Created in 1938, the OKW replaced the Reich War Ministry and had nominal oversight over the Army ( Heer), the Navy ( Kriegsmarine), and the Air force ( Luftwaffe). I look at it like modeling were want the look to be as accurate as possible.The Oberkommando der Wehrmacht ( German: ( listen) OKW, German: ( listen)) was the High Command of the Armed forces ( Wehrmacht) of Nazi Germany.

There is a another game by a US company that actually does use a Picture of Hitler and the Nazi flag for Germany but it's the only game I know of that isn't censored and if I remember right the old Steel panthers game uses the historical flag for Germany but most of the time you have to mod these things into just about any modern WWII game.

Frak you Heineken )))))įor me historical accuracy increases the immersion and fun of the game but it's not meant to be taken too far, just displaying the correct political symbols used by all nations at the time is fine if being used for the purposes of a historical war game but of course we do have mod these things in because of laws against displaying anything related to Nazis which is perfectly understandable plus if Slitherine ever did put out a game with Nazi flags I'm sure a lot people wouldn't be too pleased. Yet it is used and displayed here and there - no one gives crap. But we can change it back anything ourselves as we like.ītw in my country the red star is also banned, in the same paragraph as german hakenkreuz. Copyrighted car brands in certain games for example. We do know all the laws and rules on sales.

Appreciated. I also added white Kriegsmarine flags for anyone who wants them, I prefer the historical look but these do match the original theme.
I left the original versions uploaded in case anyone prefers those. The mod has the same folder structure found in the game so simply copy and paste over the originals. I can't upload this version of the mod directly to the forum due to the increased size I consider this to be the finale version although later on I might see about improving a few things. I also added a small fix for the Italian flag Modified rubber stamps on the campaign scenario maps of Europe, each campaign has it's own maps and even though there pretty much the same I included all of them with the mod for ease of installing. Version 1.4 also has improved color and flag texturesĪn animated flag for the AI, it's just a gif I made in gimp that I converted over to ogv format. Officially the off centered version was supposed to be the National flag and the centered one represented the party.Ī modified German theme UI, it’s still the same one but it adds the swastika in the middle. The historically correct national flag of Nazi Germany. I mostly made this for myself and it's not meant to be taken too seriously or condone Nazism it's just for a better historical gaming experience.
I uploaded a new version to mediafire for anyone who wants it.
