Agreed - I read it as sturmbahnfuehrer immediately and subliminally and then wondered what the heck was going on. There are issues on licensing some games in Germany anyway - I'm fairly sure Debian might get into trouble when submitting this game under this title for classification, if only because of the potential for confusion and the problems with German/Austrian/French etc.anti-Nazi laws This is only my (ill-informed) opinion - I am neither a German, nor a German lawyer :) Andy
