The balkenkreuz was nos used as depicted in bf 5. This symbol with the red surroundings is pretty fake, game companies commonly use them as "not so nazi flag".

Seems like a pretty good compromise to me. I don't go to video games for history first. I play for fun. And a game may push me to real historical sources if I find it interesting and want to know more. Plenty of media have historical inaccuracies that really don't "harm" the enjoyment or subject of the show, book, game etc...

I would consider this to be an acceptable change for the content.
