"GW would get in touble for using
* the swastica"
Funny, actually there is some old Games Workshop artwork where there are symbols that look like Swastikas. Not to mention that their old "Stormboyz" looked more then a little bit like Orks in Wehrmacht uniforms. I do not, however, think that this was done on purpose^^ But then I am pretty sure that if the German official people who are responsible for rating films, products etc where confronted with a letter written by someone with deep insight into the background then there would be quite a chance that GW wouldn't be allowed to sell their products to kids anymore (excessive violence, implied racism, Slaanesh?).
