Yes,
on second thought, probably the entire EU has the same "swastika/nazi" rules.
Can't even show a picture of one on ebay without running afoul of the swastika police.

Even if it was put on a flight destined for an Austrian airfield, there is no guarantee that the plane wouldn't get re-routed because of weather etc and land in Germany, with the 'mail' (whether DHL/UPS/FedEx) being processed through Customs right there in Germany.

I had a 'battlefield relic' that I bought on eBay from Latvia. It was sent via DHL by truck to an airport in Germany and airmailed to New York/Chicago/Buffalo. I have no idea where it was inspected, but it had more sealing tape on it than it had cardboard...
