This is interesting. What was the problem with "recreationists", specifically? Are you saying there were players that styled themselves as actual Nazis?

Yes. Thier out-of-game websites were extreem. They were playing as SS units, something definitly not part of the game. There were no user-created assets in-game, but they would still pose in swastica formations seen by other players. It was all shut down rather quickly.
(Fyi, WWIIOL was probably the first mmorpg in a persistant game space. This was new territory.)
