I don't collect, "The Boys," this is more about why Germany has a crazy law like this in place.
I like the first comment on the page:
"I am German and i donīt like this law. Some of the Captain-America-Comics, which were translated here, had the swastika erased in it. i think itīs stupid to shut out all this stuff, because if you donīt point the bad things a finger into their ugly faces, they might be forgotten by some time. and that can not be a good thing."
So, when are you Germans going to have this law overturned?
the poor Buddhist monks... dont they have designs with swastikas called manji?) are they not allowed in the country if they have items displaying that design.
One theory is that the swastika is an old solar symbol. Relatedly, recent scholarship with ancient Indian and Vedic documents reveals a legend concerning a mythical demonic semi-deity who was obsessed with world conquest and the destruction of subject people/races. His name is difficult to translate from Sanskrit, but it's phonetic rendering into English sounds something like "Putz."

I'll agree with it's demonic origin. I wouldn't call it "mythical."
You should have seen the problems the game "Return to Castle Wolfenstein" caused, for those who donīt know the game it was a first person shooter based in the 2nd world war, and there were loads of swastikas, SS stuff, and "you name it" symbols in that game .
It was a crime to even own the game, and ID software had to bring out a version with all the nasty symbols missing, which really spoiled the fun.
Even worse the game Command & conquer didnīt have humans in it, no no. Robots, so every time you drove over some soldiers with a tank, it went "clong clong" instead of squish.

That is like saying that Jews and Christians are all the same.
I play guitar, sing & write songs. Listen to my music 
Still an ignorant statement on your part.
