Strijkbout: I'm not too surprised by this, in a lot of countries anything associated with nazism is forbidden, hence there are no swastika's on german aircraft in IL-2.
Gog probably did this to prevent a boycot in those countries.
I just got the game yesterday too but if GoG did censor some things to prevent a boybott, then they were pretty selective about it. In the opening sequence of the first mission, you could still see banners with the swastikas on them and normally it's this kind of thing that gets censored. I seriously hope what the OP pointed out was just a bug and nothing more.
EDIT:
CDJ75: During the second chapter (While you're disguised as nazi officer.) there seems to be some censorship.
The other soldiers don't do their little Hitler salute like they did in the original release and a few lines during the conversation between those two warehouse workers near the beginning are missing, one guy's just moving his lips while remaining completly silent but the other one still responds.
It wasn't like that in the original release, so what's up with that?
I just got to the part you mentioned in your post but I didn't seem to be having any problems. As soon as I entered the mission, I holstered my weapon and as soon as you pick up the officers uniform and level 1 papers, two troopers will enter the locker room talking in German. They say a few lines to each other but if you just stand there watching them finish the dialog, they still did the salute along with a hearty "seig heil". After trashing the prototype and heading through a door, there will be three troopers who all salute and say "seig heil". I don't seem to be having any problems here.
However. I still find it strange how I'm having no trouble with missing dialog or salutes but the swastika insignia seems to be missing from all enemy soldier uniforms. The officer's uniform seems so bare without the red swastika armbands, were they missing in the CD version too? The cross is still on the uniform and the eagle on the officers hat are there, just no swastika. Troopers have no insignia whatsoever on their uniforms which I thought was strange. If they went out their way to censor the swastika on the uniforms then why are there still swastikas on the banners?
This is either bad uniform design by the games devs, a bug, or some of the sloppiest censorship I have ever seen in a game.
