It's not about the violence, it's about the Nazi symbols. They are unconstitutional in Germany, so for instance parading the streets with a swastika flag will get you a court appointment.
Using them in a computergame is a no go area, because even though you shoot the nazis in wolfenstein, Computergames are considered a toy and Nazi logos are beyond limits there (It's the same for scale modelling kits btw, if you buy a Tiger tank kit or something like that in a German store you won't find any decals with swastikas, SS runes etc.)
Now, while there are no Swastikas in the German version of the Indy 3 Adventure computergame (at least they were removed in the VGA version, not sure for the Amiga one, can't remember), there is no such problem with the Indy Movies, because they are considered art, and as long as the movie isn't Nazi propaganda the Swastikas are no problem.
It's all about context.
