o.o I'm for 5th Column Controversy since that seems to be the gist of the current article... btw, should the "plenty of other games released in Europe with Nazi's in them" be one of the arguments? Britian doesn't count, and I don't know of any that didn't have the nazi's largely censored in some way. If its there, we'll need some refs as its outside the normal scope of this wiki and the game. --[[User:Sleepykitty|Sleepy Kitty]] 01:18, 11 November 2007 (EST)

Germany restricts or bans a number of games because of their Nazi imagery, notably the original ''Wolfenstein 3D''.

Overview

The release of Issue 3 brought some big changes to the game, including the removal of the 5th Column. They were replaced by the Council, a functionally similar group. Some believed that, though Cryptic claimed the coup was plot-motivated and had been planned for a long time, the change was due to the imminent release of the game in Europe.

The issue comes up on the forums every now and then. Here is a summary of the major points from each side.

The 5th Were Taken Out
