Living in Taiwan, I'm pretty used in seeing Swastikas around me despite the initial cultural shock. Furthermore in HOI2 I use the Swastika modification since it is rather silly to play as (or against) Germany with that visual element absent; that undermines greatly historical accuracy.

That said, gaming and fora are totally different beasts than the real world. A release with swastikas is bound to be misinterpreted by many and it is really up to the EB team if they would welcome this kind of controversy. There is no such thing as bad publicity, I am aware of that tenant, but I feel that all factors consider the inclusion of an historically accurate but so unfortunately tainted symbol is bound to create unnecessary distraction from the virtues of such an excellent mod.
