The biggest reason for video game censorship in Germany has always been violence, e.g. blood had to be removed or turned green, human enemies had to become robots or zombies, gore had to be cut, etc. However that aspect of censorship has become a bit more relaxed in recent years.
On the other hand they've recently started banning games that go against leftist ideology.
Aren't Germany just sensitive to holocaust shit? I don't remember hearing about them banning depictions of war in general.

Look up the German version of “command and conquer: generals” if you want a good laugh
