1. Introduction
Down with the Crooked Cross is a simple texture replacement mod aims to improve players' immersion by altering censored World War II-era German insignias and symbols. this mod is purely made for the sake of HISTORICAL ACCURACY and not made with intention to deny Nazi war crimes or glorify their ideology.
2. What does this mod do?
This mod alters following content:

- Hakenkreuz(Swastika) can now be seen on Third Reich flags and banners instead of Iron Cross.
- Adds the correct insignia on German Stahlhelm.
- SS-Danzig flag now has Hakenkreuz as well with Totenkopf skull.
- Crashed Junkers 88 bomber now has Luftwaffe Hakenkreuz added in her tail.
- Most of ammo crates now has Hakenkreuz textures instead of Iron Cross.
- Most of German officer caps now has Hakenkreuz instead of plain circle.
- Enemy soldiers now wear correct belt buckles depends on their service branch(Wehrmacht or SS)
- Nazi Armband now has Hakenkreuz instead of Iron Cross.
- Nazi Reichsadler decal texture is modified to have Hakenkreuz instead of Iron Cross.
- DRBBR50 Train engine now has Hakenkreuz Reichsadler on its door instead of Iron Cross.

This mod does NOT alter following content:

- At least 3 ammo box Iron Cross textures
Some of those textures are distorted beyond recognition when viewed as texture files and with my beginner skills, i failed to find a way to alter those problematic textures.

- Reichsadlers from Field caps and Pilotkas
Could not alter them because they were in low resolution, it was impossible to fit Swastika to 2x2 space.

- Cutscenes
Obviously.

Known Bugs:

Not that i know of.

@Rolan I only replaced the textures, not language strings or files, so i don't think this will cause any problems just because your game is in russian.

I agree , thank you again for your work ! Tell me, will your mod fix work without problems on the Russian version of the game ?

@Rolan Probably because that remaster is garbage, even in technical aspects and functionality. HD project mod already exists so most people will just play that.
Rolan 26 Dec, 2021 @ 3:16pm 
Yes, they removed the swastika and fire, the game immediately became very arcade and childish ! So far , there has not been a craftsman that he could bring everything back as it was in the original !

So it is necessary to recreate the era and to immerse yourself in historicity ) The Commandos were deprived of historical flags and the game became not interesting and soulless !

@Rolan It's good more and more publishers are finally realizing those censorships are bad and pointless, with recent Call of Duty and Sniper Elite games getting historically correct flags.
Rolan 26 Dec, 2021 @ 2:39pm 
Thank you so much, comrade, for returning historical realism to the game, otherwise all these "censored towels" in place of flags are already pretty fed up)!

Огромное спасибо товарищ что вернул исторический реализм игре а то все эти "цензурные полотенце" месте флагов уже порядком поднадоели )!

Обратите внимание: этот мод не предназначен для оправдания или поддержки нацизма, он предназначен только для исторических целей.
