I just want to know how they're getting away with having swastikas

As Sheldon said - this is NOT America.

When you watched all those WWII films on TV with swastika's in them did you complain then? This game is about a Nazi invasion of the USA. What ancient symbol for a lucky object did the Nazi's hijack and what would you expect to see in a game about them?
