I fully concur. Japanese kids may be being taught a -very- rose-tinted view of their own Axis involvement, but I doubt even they overlook what the Nazis did. I suspect all the other name changes were there just to justify the Germany change.

That said, I have no doubt Hitler died in the Neuroi campaign that conquered Karlsland, a destitute and depressed failed painter.
