Yes! Interestingly, this only is possible now because the rules changed in 2018: https://usk.de/usk-beruecksichtigt-bei-altersfreigabe-von-spielen-kuenftig-sozialadaequanz/

The German bureaucracy changed their stance from "Nazi shit should not be in games, period" to "it depends on social adequacy" which meant that games from then on where handled the same way as other forms of art.

Game publishers could've changed it way earlier but noone bothered to bring a case to court but opted to self-censor instead, thus the BPjM had to follow an age-old, singular, court ruling.

The game that prompted the change was this one, in particular Gauland's special move is a swastika. Someone, predictably, complained, and the case didn't even make it before court as the state attorney said "this is obviously completely legal political commentary".

To top it all off the game was published by public TV. Same people who made this sketch.

Haha I hadn't seen that game before, thanks for that. Gauland is depicted exactly as ridiculous as he should be treated.

Quick, someone translate "dackelkrawattig" for the Anglos.

Oh, and for anyone who doesn't recall: He's the one whose clothes got nicked.
